Heart develops immunity to below-the-belt comments

By Ronnie CaRRasCo iii ManilaTimes.net

HEART Evangelista is definitely not what less concerned, if cruel netizens believe she should be.

For countless times, local showbiz’s fashion icon/maven has been the easy target of bashers who don’t seem to get tired of asking why she’s still childless by husband Senator Chiz Escudero.

Very much like the bashers, Heart too hasn’t lost her energy answering them back.

She counters: “Who doesn’t like to get pregnant? Well, I was but who doesn’t like to be a mom?”

Apparently miffed by this never-ending inquiry since she married Chiz in 2015, Heart can’t help but empathize with other childless wives hounded by the same pressure-causing, stress-inducing question.

“To wives out there, don’t be pressured. Well, if you are, I get it. But don’t make your whole life depend on it. I believe getting pregnant happens in God’s perfect time,” Heart says. A netizen thinks that the reason for Heart’s sadness is not having a child as evident in her “malamlam na mata.”

“Dear, mabigat lang ang lashes ko! Ano’ng gusto n’yo, umiyak ako ng dugo? Bubuklatin ko ba uli ang buhay ko?” she tells the netizen, adding that she has developed immunity to all the hurtful comments hurled at her.

“At the end of the day, you realize all this makes you a stronger person. Just keep in mind that no one will defend you except yourself...and your dog.”

Albeit without a child — and amidst her share of social media bashings — Heart channels her maternal energies to her two pet cats and five dogs.

Of them all, her twotoned cat named Panda is the most spoiled. Take note, the adorable feline is pampered with signature stuff just as Heart is to her vain self.

Her pets mean the world to her that they fill in the vacuum, well, until she becomes a mom herself.

What’s more welcoming a bit of news is that Heart has finally quelled rumors about her marital kinks with Chiz.

Consistently at the start of 2023, Heart has never failed to tag along her husband even to places or occasions he doesn’t feel most comfortable with, one of which is the Paris Fashion Week which happens very often.

Yes, Heart has never been this openly proud of Chiz... again!

The singer also took to his Instagram account to express his excitement about advancing to the next stage of the competition. In the video, he can be seen pumping his fists in excitement about his recent milestone.

It can also be noted that the show hasn’t announced the complete set of contestants who advanced to the next round, as of this writing.

“SO HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE I MADE IT

TO THE TOP 24! I have met so many amazing friends and artists on this journey and I can’t believe it’s not over yet,” he said in the caption.

Prior to entering the Top 24, the FilipinoCanadian singer paired up with fellow Platinum Ticket winner Kaylin Hedges to perform a rendition of Queen’s “Don’t Stop Me Now” during the show’s Hollywood Week portion.

The performance appeared to have left Idol judges Lionel Richie, Katy Perry and Luke Bryan in awe as they were spotted cheering during their stage.

Venegas first gained attention after competing in Season 2 of ABS-CBN’s “The Voice Teens” where he was part of Filipino-American rapper APL de AP’s team.

The singer then amazed the Idol judges with his soulful rendition of Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind,” where he showed off his riffs and melismas while playing the piano.
