The Kapuso actress expressed how overwhelmed she felt, bearing in mind the fact that Anna Wintour recognized and chose her to be included in Vogue's curated list of 100 inspiring people around the globe.
“It's such a big deal to be acknowledged by Anna Wintour. She's such a big deal sa fashion industry. She's a queen, she's an icon.
"As a Filipino, I just can't fathom the idea but I'm very thankful,” she said.
Heart was about to leave Paris when she received a call from the American Vogue. And when they had a meeting the night before her flight, she described the feeling as being surreal that she kept thinking 'How did you find me?'
“Sa totoo lang, I asked 'why me?' because I don't know! I'm still on cloud nine na they even considered.
"Kasi parang it's something na kailangan sila yung pumili sayo eh. It's like an invitation only.”

There are going to be numerous activities for Vogue100, but she will not be able to attend an upcoming pictorial because of work. But her fans can expect that she will be vlogging the whole experience by January next year.
“It's something that they could really look out for. I'll be vlogging a lot about my trips and I'm very excited sa mga mae-experience ko doon sa being part of the list,” she said.
“Vogue100 is really more of like a community where you get to experience different things, meet different actors.”
Heart also shared how it feels to reach a stature of being an inspiration to Filipino women and bringing the Filipino pride in Vogue100.

“I'm so flattered. I never really put much thought into that, but its nice that we are all going through something.
"And for people to be inspired when they watch my vlogs about anything or whatever I do, it gives me more energy to do more and to make more.”
Although she feels the pressure, she rests her mind on the idea of staying true to herself.
“Actually nagigising ako ng mga 1:00AM, kasi parang hindi ako makapaniwala. It's just nice kasi na the moment I just started to be myself, and I was not thinking about what other people would say, doon biglang nagbuhos lahat.
"So I guess, for me, if there's anything I could share is to really be yourself because you're unique and there's so much space for everybody to shine."
