Love Marie Payawal Ongpauco-Escudero, the daughter of a magnate, Reynaldo Evangelista Ong pauco and Maria Cecilia del Gallego Payawal. Also, one of the Philippines’ wealthy clans with total assets in worth speaks much about itself. But, unfortunately, their wealth cannot narrow down the figures. And also the wife of the Philippines’ Province of Sorsogon Governor – Chiz Escudero.
Heart Evangelista is her stage name in the entertainment industry. It’s not uncommon for actors to choose screen names to shorten their real names or birth names, make them simpler to remember or stand out in the industry, among other reasons. She is a known actress, painter/artist, and one of the Philippines’ social elite. She was on every fashion week around the world. Heart Evangelista’s journey to fame in the Philippines began 24 years ago. Since then, she has developed into an influencer, TV host, singer, model, philanthropist, and even painter. She has an incredible 10.7 million Instagram followers and 2.78 million YouTube subscribers. Maybe it should be no surprise that she started ahead of the curve in the glamour stakes, given her affluent upbringing. Evangelista claimed in her most recent YouTube video that her father gave her her first Hermès Birkin bag when she was 22.
Evangelista is undoubtedly not a slouch, though. When she was barely 13 years old, she had her television debut on the youth-oriented program “G-mik,” which launched her career in the spotlight. She appeared on the show as Missy Sandejas and was introduced as a young, burgeoning talent and a select group of others. Evangelista has now worked in the entertainment industry for 20 years. Her efforts have paid off, as she is now the face of international luxury campaigns for brands like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Bulgari, Ferragamo, Jean Paul Gaultier, and more. She is also a Filipino brand ambassador for Pond’s, RLC Residences, Perfect Smile, and Luxe Organix.
She may have gone despite her own will and pursued a career as an actress and model, but she also found a peculiar hidden talent: painting. The hand-painted Hermès bags and shirts that Evangelista displayed at several galleries, such as the Ayala Museum and Galerie Joaquin, sold out numerous times. As a result, there is an extensive waiting list for her painting services, and the celebrity charges US$1,800 to paint designer handbags.
Heart Evangelista opens up on topics like beauty, the fallout from her family’s disagreement over her relationship, and why being in show business hasn’t changed who she is at her core in the privacy of her home. Being an entertainment celebrity is no longer enough; a public presence today should radiate worldly intelligence. Instead, the link has been severed for someone who claims to be protected and dependent. Heart has never been more grounded in her life, in contrast to what some people might have anticipated to see her doing.
