Animal rights advocate
Heart Evangelista is a great speaker and advocate for animal rights in the country.
In 2017, she expressed her disgust over a scene in the Metro Manila film festival entry Oro, which allegedly showed a scene where a dog was being slaughtered.
Heart said then, “Nakakahiya at nakakagalit. A life is a life and should never be trivialized for the sake of art or what have you. Such a shame!"
In January 2020, when the Taal volcano exploded, the actress-endorser offered help with the rescue mission of the Philippine Animal Welfare Society for those animals affected by this natural disaster.
Recently, Heart also shared a funny story about her running after her dog Che Che in the middle of traffic in high heels.
“To the man who opened his car door to stop Che Che, thank you!
“Sana walang nakakuha ng video dahil mukha akong tanga--nakakulot [ang buhok] at high heels [while] making pigil the trucks and cars, and running after Che Che. What an afternoon.”
She added in another post, “To the guards, driver, my hairstylist, all my friends, and sister Camille [Ongpauco] (in high heels din) thank you sa pag habol. What a scene! Thank you, Lord, at ok ang lahat.”
Here's a gallery of Heart's other pet, Panda, who is popular among her fans:
