On Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, style icon and philanthropist Heart Evangelista stepped inside the famous yellow house not just as a celebrity houseguest, but as a beacon of inspiration—reminding housemates and viewers alike of the deeper purpose behind fame.
In a heartfelt segment aired Wednesday, the final duos were tasked to create paintings representing the causes close to their hearts. After presenting their artworks, they opened up about the personal experiences that led them to support their chosen charities. It was a moving moment that emphasized compassion over competition—and Heart was there to echo that message.
“Never forget that as you work on this, 100% of the time, you also have to do some things that aren’t seen by many,” Heart told the housemates after their presentations. “The points you earn here on earth are important, but the points in heaven are far more important.”
Later, in an intimate conversation with Kuya in the confession room, Heart reflected on her own advocacy work. “As a public figure, kumbaga ‘yun ‘yung expected ni Lord sa ‘yo na gawin mo,” she said. “We have, in a sense, the power to put the spotlight on specific charities.”
For the past two decades, Heart has been quietly but consistently supporting causes for thalassemia patients and rescued aspin dogs. Her approach has always been rooted in humility and genuine compassion. “I feel like all of us, we are here to be a vessel of blessings,” she shared. “Hindi natin alam kailan matatapos ‘yung panahon natin dito sa mundo, so it’s important—not necessarily for people to see—but for your soul.”
Beyond charity work, Heart also bonded with housemates over casual yet meaningful conversations—offering advice on confidence, love, and healing from past relationships. One of the episode’s lighter moments featured Heart in the kitchen, laughing and cooking fried bananas with the housemates.
In this season of PBB, where celebrity meets social impact, Heart Evangelista’s presence reminded everyone that the truest legacy isn’t measured in screen time or followers—but in lives touched, causes uplifted, and kindness paid forward.
Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition airs weeknights at 10:05 p.m. and Saturdays at 6:15 p.m. on GMA Network.
