When director Ed Palmos first saw Heart Evangelista, he was surprised by what she looked like. Heart was going through a rough time, and it showed. “She was wrecked,” Director Ed recalls. “She looked old. That was not the Heart Evangelista I was expecting.”
Heart was also jobless at that time, after a temporary separation from her mother network, ABS-CBN. “Later on, I boost her morale.” I tried to give all the support I could, telling her that those things would pass away one day, and that was part of the game.”
Thanks to Ed’s encouragement, Heart’s performance and beauty shone in their Independent film Ay, Ayeng. What the camera caught was a beauty incomparable. “Heart has unique qualities,” says the director. “She cannot be compared to others. Her Filipina beauty is what good about her. I’m so enthralled with that, ‘her charm from which you cannot see any European or Caucasian quality. ‘Her eyes and her pure Filipino blood is something that makes her lovable.
Ed adds, “She has expressive eyes and passion for her work. She has a wide room for improvement.”
After shooting Ay, Ayeng, Heart was back at ABS-CBN. Her problems, which were partly problems of the heart, did pass. The girl with the expressive eyes has found her way back to the small screen.
