Heart douses rumor that she's gone Kapamilya all over again
Though Heart Evangelista’s attendance at the recent Star Magic Ball spawned rumors that she’s mulling a return to the Kapamilya network, the actress denies it.
Heart said that she was invited to the event by Star Magic heads Johnny Manahan [Mr. M] and Mariole Alberto whom she regards as her parents in show business---and that's all there is to it.
“No,” Heart wailed when asked about the talks. “I don’t want naman to let people [feel] na ay pina-pirate. It wasn’t like that. I was invited by Mr. M and tita Mariole. Okay naman kami. We have a good relationship. I’m really, really happy. Growing up with them was really great,” she explained at a mini-presscon on Sept. 5.
Heart felt welcome at the Star Magic Ball. “They don’t have anything negative. They were just really nice to invite me and I really felt so magical. It’s so nice to see all these people, the directors, everybody. I really felt so loved and I miss them so much. They really made me feel loved. After all that’s said and done para akong prodigal daughter.”
At the ball, Heart was in the company of Mr. M , Mariole, her former handlers, Diether Ocampo and Gabby Lopez.
“Parang it was four years ago and there was a lot of catching up to do,” she mused aloud.
For more than five months now, Heart still has no project with the Kapuso network. Does she feel there are people working against her?
“I hope not. It was really very unfair. I don’t think that’s how it should be handled. Sana ‘wag naman.”
She added, “I’m actually okay that I’m not doing anything. Kasi I’m really contemplating on what I really want. Okay lang din. Parang I’m building up my thinking of all these things that I want to do. Ewan ko kung I’m maturing also from it, gathering my strength on what I’m about to do next.”
Heart laments, “I don’t really wanna quit. I’d really wanna be in a place where they’re excited about what I can offer. These days I haven’t been feeling that way.”
And since she has a lot of time on her hands these days, Heart plans to take a sabbatical in October. She will fly to New York and stay there for two weeks then head off to her next destination, Australia. However, her boyfriend, Daniel Matsunaga, will not accompany her on both trips.--Manila Bulletin
