Chiz and Heart bonding time
After a bout with asthma that compelled Senator Francis “Chiz” Esudero to have her wife, Heart Evangelista be confined in the hospital, the couple are once more enjoying moments together.
Last Sunday, Heart posted a photo on her Instagram account that shows she and Chiz are having a great time together.
The fans are happy to see the couple still very much in love with each other.
On Friday before the Sunday Heart posted that photo, she made a lot of her fans worrying when they saw a photo, also on Instagram of her with a hospital bracelet. That was the photo when she was having her check up after an asthma attack.
Heart has been very busy in the last couple of months. She finished her paintings for her ArtSpace exhibition at the Ayala Museum called Oceans Apart, and before that she hand-painted gowns for the fashion show of designer friend Mark Bumgarner.
And now she is taping for a new drama series on GMA Network with actor Dennis Trillo.
Heart is also a wife and stepmother to Chiz’s twins Chesi and Quino. She is also a politician’s wife whose husband is occupied with his campaign as vice-presidential candidate along with presidential aspirant Senator Grace Poe.
While Chiz still leads in all poll surveys, Heart can’t just rest on the fact that her husband is the preferred candidate for the position he is running for. She also wants to help in the campaign if time allows her.
Last week, Heart went to Bacolod to campaign for her husband along with Chiz’s avid supporters. And prior to that, she was also in Davao and Cabanatuan cities.

She once dreamed of becoming an actress
Senator Grace Poe admitted that when she was growing up she also wished she’d be in show business, like her parents Da King or Fernando Poe, Jr. and Susan Roces.
Poe admitted this in Tuguegarao when she and vice presidential candidate Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero were campaigning in the northern Luzon city on Feb. 29.
But, Poe said she was afraid to be compared to her parents. “Siyempre, noong bata ako, gusto ko rin sanang mag-artista. Kaya lamang, habang tumatagal, sabi ko parang mahirap yatang makumpara sa kanila.Unang-una sa height na lang, napakalayo na. Tapos sa hitsura rin. Kaya nag-iba ako ng aking pinagtuunan ng pansin,” she said rather amused at her own anecdote.
Not very many can recall that Poe was a child actress. She appeared in the Fernando Poe, Jr. movie Dugo ng Bayan with Charo Santos.
Grace says that even if she did not become part of show business, it has become her inspiration in her desire to help fellow Filipinos.
“Artista pa lamang si FPJ kung saan siya nagsyu-shooting ng mga pelikula hindi niya kinakalimutan ang mga tao roon sa komunidad. Mga magsasaka na kailangan ng irigasyon, mga eskwelahan na butas-butas ang bubong, binigyan niya ng tulong sa kanyang personal na kapasidad,” Grace said.
