The move places the young advocate in a formal role to champion youth-related causes, aligning with her long-standing commitment to social and political issues.
The appointment was met with an outpouring of pride from her mother, Sharon Cuneta, who shared the news on her social media account.
The "Megastar" expressed her immense joy and admiration for her daughter's willingness to take on the new responsibility, a sentiment that was quickly echoed by friends and fans in the comments section.
The public’s reaction underscored a general sense of optimism about Frankie’s ability to represent and empower the younger generation.
Many noted her academic background—she is currently a student at New York University—and her reputation as a thoughtful and articulate voice on national matters.
Frankie joins a distinguished group of women in the foundation, which is now led by its re-elected president, fashion icon and actress Heart Evangelista.
Other notable members include Mariel Padilla, wife of Senator Robinhood Padilla, and Ciara Sotto, daughter of Senator Vincent Sotto.
The foundation, which serves as a support arm for various civic and social welfare projects, has been particularly active in recent years, focusing on community outreach and charitable activities.
The appointment marks a significant turn for Frankie, who has consistently stated that a career in formal politics was not in her plans.
In past interviews, she has clarified that her vocal involvement in social issues stems from a deep-seated sense of patriotism rather than personal ambition.
"I understood suddenly that's how people are. When you become politically involved, it means you have ambition... at least some interest, and I never was that kind of person," she previously shared, adding that she considers herself simply a Filipino citizen who wants to see change in the country.
Her new role within the Senate Spouses Foundation provides a platform for her to influence policy and community projects without holding public office.
This new position is a testament to the influence and dedication of a new generation of public figures.
The Committee on Youth is expected to focus on programs that address issues such as education, mental health awareness, and youth empowerment.
Frankie's background as a youth advocate, coupled with her family’s legacy in both public service and the arts, places her in a unique position to make a substantial impact.
As she takes on this new role, the public will be watching closely to see how she translates her passion for social change into tangible action within a structured institutional framework.
