Faith, friendship, healing: How Anthony Constantino helped Shuvee Etrata reclaim faith

In the glitz and fast pace of showbiz, it’s easy to get lost in the lights — but for Kapuso star Shuvee Etrata, it was in quiet moments of faith and friendship that she found her way back to herself.

Known as Sparkle’s rising “Island Ate ng Cebu,” Shuvee recently opened up in a heartfelt vlog with Vice Ganda and Ashley Ortega about a chapter in her life marked by emotional challenges and spiritual disconnection. In that vulnerable period, it wasn’t the applause of fans or the comfort of routine that lifted her — it was the quiet, persistent support of fellow Kapuso artist Anthony Constantino.

“Mabait po talaga si Anthony,” she shared. “Noong time na ’yon, feeling ko kasi hindi lang friends ang makakatulong sa akin — it’s also God.”

Anthony, known for his boy-next-door charm and humble demeanor, became a source of spiritual encouragement for Shuvee. He made it a point to invite her to Sunday church services, even when she felt too exhausted or overwhelmed to attend.

“’Yung pagdadala niya sa akin sa church, ang laking bagay… mini-make effort niya talaga ako para dalhin doon,” she said with quiet gratitude.

When asked what kind of help truly made the difference during her lowest points, Shuvee didn’t hesitate:

“Spiritual help po talaga.”

Their connection goes beyond the surface — a reminder that sometimes, healing comes not in grand gestures, but in consistent, faith-driven companionship. Anthony didn’t just offer a listening ear; he offered her a space to reconnect with her spirituality and rediscover inner peace.

In an industry often defined by image and performance, Shuvee’s story is a powerful testament to the importance of authentic relationships — and the quiet miracles that happen when someone chooses to walk with you toward the light.

As her star continues to rise, Shuvee Etrata now carries not just the strength of her talent, but the strength of her renewed spirit — thanks in no small part to a friend who reminded her that healing often begins with faith.
