HEART EVANGELISTA – Kapuso star Heart Evangelista is celebrating a career milestone and a personal one, and her advice to her younger self is something everyone can learn from.
The year 2025 is a significant chapter in Heart Evangelista’s life as she celebrates two major milestones — her 40th birthday and her 23rd year in show business.

Her influence has transcended television, reaching the global stage through her presence at prestigious fashion events, solidifying her image as a true style icon.
On August 12, during the taping of the second episode of GCash Spotlight in Taguig, host Boy Abunda posed a deeply personal question to Heart: What advice would she give her 13-year-old self, the age when she began her career as Love Marie Payawal Ongpauco?
Reflecting on her younger years, Heart admitted that her teenage self would have greatly benefited from some guidance. Without a second thought, she delivered a message encouraging the acceptance of one’s uniqueness and individuality.
“Just be exactly the way you are, may mararating kaartehan mo,” Heart expressed warmly. “I’m telling you, put those clips, overdo it if you want. Just be the girl that you are.”

“You will make mistakes, you will rise above it, and they will make you a better person. I’m already proud of who you are and what you will be,” she concluded with heartfelt pride.
Heart’s reflections serve not only as a personal look back but also as an empowering reminder for anyone facing the struggles of growing up and finding themselves. Her transformation from a fresh-faced teen to an internationally acclaimed figure proves that staying authentic can lead to both success and personal fulfillment.
Now entering a new phase in her life, Heart continues to inspire with more than just her iconic fashion — she embodies resilience, sincerity, and a steadfast belief in embracing one’s true self.
