In an interview with Nelson Canlas for 24 Oras, Heart recalled the passion she continues to have as a Kapuso artist.

"I think my love for what I do. Hindi puwedeng puro victory lang ang aasahan mo sa ganitong klaseng industriya. But because I'm very consistent and I believe that I've become so much stronger, I feel like naging immune na ko, and I'm willing to even take, you know, more challenges to get to where I want to be. I have big dreams," she shared.

Having experienced challenges and changes throughout her career, Heart also opened up about embracing reinvention head-on.

"I think kasi yung nangyari diyan was very organic. Every time I would go through something, I feel like I'm a little stream of water. I would find myself through the cracks of the wood to find myself in a bigger stream," she continued.

"Usually, when they say reinvention, it was never intentional. It was an outcome of something very drastic, maybe sad. But I always found something in me that would accept and adjust, relocate myself, still continue to go towards the dream that I've always wanted ever since."

Celebrating their renewed ties with Heart were GMA and Sparkle executives, including Senior Vice President for Programming, Talent Management, Worldwide, and Support Group, and President of GMA Films, Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes; First Vice President, Sparkle GMA Artist Center, Joy Marcelo; Sparkle Assistant Vice President for Talent Management Vic del Rosario, and Vice President for Entertainment Group's Musical Variety Formats, Specials and Alternative Productions, Ms. Gigi S. Lara.

"Mahal na mahal natin si Heart dito sa Sparkle at sa Kapuso network. We see how much she's grown as a person, and nakikita talaga natin 'yung hard work niya and work ethics. Talagang incomparable," Atty. Annette shared.

Meanwhile, Heart continues to bring fans to the sparkling world of fashion and artistry in her social media channels.

Stepping out of the glamorous spotlight, Kapuso viewers can catch her more bubbly, candid side as the host of GMA Comedy's original game show, The People Have Spoken, every Saturday, 6:15 p.m. on GMA and Kapuso Stream.
