Grace Mondina, also known as ‘Miss Grace,’ went viral on social media after she refused the P30-M offer from a company in exchange for promoting gambling.
In her Facebook post, Grace showed the contract and the cheque she received from the company dated January 2, 2025.
Grace refused to sign the contract, saying it would be against her values.
“I declined an online casino offer because it goes against my values. I stand with Filipino families impacted by this industry and choose integrity over profit. I won’t be part of something that negatively impacts Filipino families. Staying true to my values is non-negotiable,” she said.
“Actually this is not the first time I got an offer from an online casino. I received an offer from 2 companies last year, 1st offer last April 2024 was 20M pesos 2nd offer last August 2024 was 22M pesos. This is the highest offer I had to decline. I just cannot promote something I don’t believe in. There are many ways to make money the right way and feel good about how you earned your money; with dignity and respect,” she added.
The netizens praised the content creator for not being persuaded by big cash, even if that amount could make her retire from her job and live comfortably.
Meanwhile, her former partner, Joel Mondina, also known as Pambansang Kolokoy, was known for promoting betting games, which received criticism from the netizens.
It can be recalled that online gambling has become rampant in the country, and it has already alarmed many groups as they were clueless about how the government was regulating the said industry.
