Janet Braganza Abuel (born March 13, 1971) is a Filipino lawyer, accountant and public servant who, from March to August 2019, served as acting secretary of the Department of Budget and Management in the Duterte administration following the appointment of former-Budget Secretary Benjamin Diokno to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).

Up until 1999, she worked in the regional office becoming a budget specialist in 1998 and a senior budget specialist in July 1999.

A month later, in August, Abuel was promoted to being the director of the department's legal and legislative service in the central office.

At the time, she was the department's youngest director IV, the highest level among government directors.

2000

When interviewed in 2000 about her experiences after topping the bar, she said:

"The short term benefits include prestige and celebrity status. There were a lot of job offers from prestigious law and auditing firms, and from the government. I learn a little more now and can afford luxuries like buying my own books. I used to photocopy law books before because I was the sole breadwinner and it was necessary for me to make both ends meet."

2002

She then became the regional director, in 2002, of DBM's Ilocos Region office in San Fernando, La Union.

After serving for about a decade in the regional office, she was appointed by then-President Benigno Aquino III as assistant secretary of the department, replacing Ruby Alvarez.
