SPARKLE GMA Artist Center warned the public against circulating false reports claiming that Heart Evangelista‘s brand endorsements were in decline.
In a statement released on Friday, Sept. 26, Sparkle stressed that the reports about Evangelista being dropped by two brands are not true.
“Fake news alert. This is not true,” wrote the talent agency on Instagram alongside the screenshot of the report that stated two brands had “quietly dropped” Evangelista.
“Don’t be fooled by fake news! Always be vigilant when reading articles online,” the caption continued.
The reports came after Evangelista’s husband, Sen. Francis “Chiz” Escudero, was named alongside other government officials as allegedly involved in anomalous flood-control projects.
Escudero later denounced the claims made by Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), stressing that for more than 27 years in public service, “he has never once been charged with corruption.” Evangelista also recently addressed her absence at the Sept. 21 nationwide rally against corruption, saying that it was due to threats that people would strip her naked.
Responding to those questioning her lifestyle as the wife of a public servant, the Kapuso star asserted that she and Escudero have signed a pre-nuptial agreement, hence their “complete separation of assets.”
Evangelista also disclosed that she will not be attending the Spring and Summer 2026 Fashion Week due to the current situation in the Philippines.
“I don’t think it’s the right time for anyone, especially for our country, to be going to Fashion Week because I think we need to be here,” she said. (Jessica Ann Evangelista © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
