Heart Evangelista reacts to netizen claiming publicizing generosity amid COVID-19 crisis is wrong
“Don't worry. My likes in heaven is my priority.”
The statement above was written by Kapuso actress Heart Evangelista after a netizen criticized her for posting her donations amid the ongoing crisis surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
In one of her posts on Instagram, the user commented, “There's something innately wrong about publicising one's 'generosity.' #justsaying.”
To which she respectfully answered, “Don't worry. My likes in heaven is my priority."
“Majority of what I do for God will never be seen on social media.
"I post some that need to be highlighted and donating to Sorsogon is something that I need to do because we need everyone's help.
“We are so far away from everyone and we need to do our best to make Sorsoganons comfortable.
"So to all my sponsors who have been donating and helping me, this post is for you.”
Similarly a fan graciously thanked the Kapuso beauty but clarified that she need not post it on social media.
He wrote, “Thanks for your kind hearted donation. However, you don't need to post it in social media.
"God sees everything you do. The public will appreciate it and God owes you a blessing.”
She reiterated, “I only post those that need to be highlighted. I don't post everything.”
In a following Instagram post, Heart clarified that she's been asking herself if its necessary to publish what she's doing to help others but claims she only did it so it can reach more people.
She wrote, "PS: I was debating whether or not to put it out here but I know that by doing so, I'll be able to reach more people, and therefore be able to help more.
"I've been doing what I can and helping in little ways I know how so if there's anything at all that I can do to help out, just message me on my Twitter account [heart021485]."
The Queen of Creative Collaborations is one of the many Kapuso celebrities who are actively donating to help Filipinos and frontliners during the enhanced community quarantine.
