Kapuso actress and global fashion icon Heart Evangelista made a notable appearance at the ‘Spread the Love, Makati’ pride event on July 27, 2024.
Despite her busy schedule, Evangelista took time to support and celebrate diversity, love, and inclusivity at the vibrant event.
In her heartfelt speech, Evangelista underscored the importance of celebrating love and embracing one’s true self. “We are here to celebrate love,” she said. “I like to share the stage with all of you. We are present and not at the farthest of reaching because each and every single one of us here holds something very special in our hearts, something that is very unique, a unique kind of spring that blossoms internally, and that is the sense of self. And we should celebrate it. We should hear it.”
She continued, “In this world, they say love is intangible, but indeed on this night it has been made present because of all of you. We shall celebrate it and we shall champion it.”
