The Chiz-Heart Affair

It is a much buzzed topic when re-electionist Senator Chiz Escudero and GMA-7 actress, Heart Evangelista officially announced last October, 2012 that they are indeed a couple. Escudero made this announcement in a Kris TV episode whom he co-host and admittedly opened up about his new found love.

But after months of a blossoming romance between the politician and actress comes a sudden news that struck everyone. In a press conference in March 19, 2013, Rey and Cecile Ongpauco, Heart Evangelista’s parents admitted that they are against their daughter’s relationship with Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero, who is 15 years, her senior at 43. They added that, "Ang tao pag bastos sa magulang... lalo na 'yung anak ko, balang-araw, kawawa naman 'yun, baka ano mangyari do'n, ” It has been revealed in the said press conference that  Chiz would frequently shout at Heart and would force her to disobey them. 

'We are now appealing to Mr. Escudero to leave our daughter alone for a cooling-off period," Cecile said. They also reiterated that their revelation has nothing to do with Chiz’s senatorial bid for the upcoming election.

On the other hand, Heart Evangelista in an interview with 24 Oras, the news program of GMA-7 defended her actions, saying that she’s at the right age to decide for herself and that she is happy in Chiz’s company. "Nahihiya lang ako sa boyfriend ko, kay Chiz, saka 'yung family niya, wala naman silang ipinakitang masama sa akin, napakabait nila tapos nagkaroon pa ng mga kasinungalingan, mga paninirang ganyan (I’m just embarrassed for my boyfriend, Chiz, and his family, who has been nothing but nice to me. They’re so kind to me, but suddenly there are these attacks toward him)

So if you are Heart Evangelista what will you do? To obey your parents or to stand up for the man you loved?
