so beautiful,” Heart beamed with pride in the virtual interview.

The Kapuso actress plays the role of Celeste, a fashion designer and socialite, who reluctantly returns to Sorsogon and is forced to face her emotional baggage that she left behind when she moved to Manila.

“It’s unique in a way na walang kontrabida. Lahat ng characters ipapakita iyong good side and bad side. It’s real life na hindi tayo lahat perfect. It’s a real story about love and life,” Heart added.

Aside from her fashionable outfits, the series also showcases the picturesque spots in Sorsogon such as Paguriran Island and Lagoon, Bulusan Lake, Sorsogon City Rompeolas and Sorsogon State University Library.

Heart encourages Filipino viewers in Japan to watch “I Left My Heart in Sorsogon.”

Sa ating mga lovely Pinoys diyan sa Japan, I miss you, guys. Madalas ako riyan, but of course because of the pandemic, this is the best way that we can connect at this moment in time. We have worked very hard to give you something that is unique, that is one of its kind, and that is special. I hope in a way ma-feel niyo na nasa Pilipinas kayo with I Left My Heart in Sorsogon.”

he stunning Kapuso star is continuously evolving and she’s certainly doing it in style. Although she always looks in control wearing many hats, the Queen of Creative Collaborations still feels the pressure of being in the spotlight.

“Actually, I’m not going to lie. I’m also pressured and stressed sometimes. It’s not easy to do so much all at the same time and a lot of people expect you to do great.

But then again, you just really have to give your best in everything that you do,” Heart admitted in an exclusive interview with the Filipino-Japanese Journal (FJJ).

Armed with a go-getter and feisty attitude, it’s not surprising that Heart will take on any endeavor she sets her eyes on, come what may.

The Return to Primetime TV Being married to Sorsogon Governor Chiz Escudero has inspired Heart to think of ways to help the province get the spotlight it deserves. She sees the province as a hidden paradise waiting to be discovered so she pitched a story to the bosses of GMA-7 with Sorsogon as the setting.

The bosses loved the idea, which is now in the form of a romance drama series, “I Left My Heart in Sorsogon,” that is currently airing on GMA Pinoy TV. The series marks Heart’s return to primetime television since she last appeared in “Korean Jagiya” in 2018.

“Sorsogon is the place to be. Hindi siya masyadong napag-uusapan so it’s finally nice na may spotlight sa kanila. And I also want to inject that the story itself is

Heart made headlines several times in 2021. She was seen having a pictorial with Incubus frontman Brandon Boyd in August, which was for a magazine cover of Metro Society. Heart and Brandon, both artists, have an upcoming art exhibition in Los Angeles.

She also released a pre-recorded single “Breathe You” in October under GMA Music. She wrote the song 15 years ago, which was about embracing freedom.

“I remember myself as a 21-year-old girl who is very naïve about the world, who thought everything was a fairy tale. It’s really refreshing to remember how I was back then.”

She also launched her beauty company, Living Luxelle, in November that offers premium skincare products and tools.

“I’m really for self-care, feeling good about yourself and being healthy. And I think it was quite natural, the beauty line and working with my sister, all of that because of the nature of my work and being exposed to a lot of people. You get to understand their concerns and, often being asked about what I do, this is my way of showing them what I love and helping them to an extent,” Heart said.

Recently, Heart is rumored to appear in the second season of “Bling Empire,” a reality series that follows the lives of wealthy Asians.

“Whatever it is, this is for the Filipinos,” Heart said to TMZ crew while in Beverly Hills, California with Bling Empire star Kane Lim. Heart will surely be ringing the New Year with more upcoming projects and collaborations.

“I always give my 101 percent. And then I pray a lot.

I lift it up to God and as long as I put my best out there bahala na sila how they want to take it. I’m just very grateful and I try to enjoy it a day at a time.”

Japan’s Relief Goods for Typhoon ‘Odette’ Victims Arrive in Philippines PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF JAPAN EMBASSY, MANILA

MANILA – The Japanese government’s disaster relief goods to the Philippines, in light of the devastation brought about by Typhoon Odette, arrived in the country’s capital on Dec. 23, the Japan Embassy announced.

“T

he relief goods and supplies will be distributed to affected communities in the hope of supporting the relief efforts of the Philippine authorities,” it said in a statement.

The disaster relief goods and emergency supplies, composed of generators, camping tents, sleeping pads, portable jerry cans/ water containers, tarpaulins/plastic sheets to cover the roof, cord reels and adaptor plug sets, were brought in from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) storage in Singapore.

Emmanuel Privado, Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) director, received the donated goods, according to the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

“Japan remains to be the Philippines’ top development partner. Bilateral assistance from Japan in support of the government’s socio-economic recovery efforts has been

consistent and generous,” the DFA said.

In the arrival ceremony, Japanese Ambassador to the Philippines Kazuhiko Koshikawa expressed heartfelt sympathies to everyone affected by the disaster and reassured of his country's effort to reach out to people in typhoon-hit areas.

“My thoughts are with everyone devastated by Typhoon Odette, especially those who lost loved ones. Japan and the Philippines are both vulnerable to natural disasters such as typhoons, and we know too well about the hardship and devastations Filipino people are experiencing now. We are one with you,” he said. - FJJ

Tokyo Hosts Discovery Program for Next Generation of Para Athletes WORDS BY FLORENDA CORPUZ PHOTOGRAPHS COURTESY OF TOKYO METROPOLITAN GOVERNMENT

TOKYO – The Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) and the Tokyo Sports Association for Persons with Disabilities (TSAD) hosted the Tokyo Para Sports Next Generation Discovery Program aimed at producing the next generation of para athletes who can represent Tokyo in international competitions.

O

n Nov. 23, 113 participants attended the “competition experience” – 41 people with physical impairment, 13 with vision impairment and 59 intellectual impairment – held at BumB Tokyo Sports Culture Center.

They participated in 23 different sports alongside professional coaches and Paralympians: athletics, badminton, boccia, canoe, cycling, equestrian, judo, rowing, shooting, swimming, table tennis, taekwondo, triathlon, wheelchair basketball, wheelchair fencing, wheelchair rugby, skiing, wheelchair curling, sailing, CP football, blind bowling, ID basketball and ID football.

“Even after the Games [Tokyo 2020 Paralympics] have ended, providing

opportunities to experience para sports continues to be important for Tokyo, and we hope that the next generation of para athletes from Tokyo will go on to compete at international competitions, including Paris,” Takaaki Tomiyama, Director of Para-sports Section, commented.

“The legacy left to us by the 2020 Games is an intangible one of sustainability, cooperation and mutual support, and we hope that this program will contribute to the realization of a society of diversity and inclusion,” he added.

As for Mika Mizuta, a Tokyo 2020 Paralympian in shooting who was one of the attendees, “participating in this kind of event lets you actually experience what can’t be understood just by watching TV.” “There are many para competitions but not all of them are well known and the opportunities to experience them

might be limited. Therefore, I think it means a lot that in fact, even after the Tokyo 2020 Games have finished, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Tokyo Sports Association for Persons with Disabilities are continuing to provide opportunities to try different para sports in a competitive environment in one day,” she said.

“I just hope that people will come out to take part in experience sessions like today,” she went on.

The event has been held 19 times since 2015 and more than 1,300 people have participated in the program including this year’s result. It is open to all people with any physical, vision, or intellectual disabilities, between the ages of 10 and 45 who live, work, or study in Tokyo, including Filipino and other foreign nationals.
