Netizens seem indifferent to Chiz-Heart ‘forbidden romance’


While Kris Aquino is seeking a temporary protection order to make sure ex-husband James Yap does not come near her and their son Bimby, the parents of Heart Evangelista have gone public in expressing their disapproval of her relationship with Sen. Chiz Escudero.

Calling the reelectionist senator an “alcoholic and an opportunist” in an interview with the Philippine Daily Inquirer, Heart’s mother Cecilia Ongpauco also noted that Escudero also could not give her daughter a church wedding despite the recent annulment of his marriage.

Escudero responded by initially taking a hands-off approach but later granted an interview with rappler.com where he categorically denied Mrs. Ongpauco’s allegations and insisted that he loves Heart and that she can think for herself. At the same time, the senator also hoped that the issue would not be used against him in politics.

For her part, Heart, who was reported to have moved out of her condominium unit in the same building where her parents reside, has taken to Twitter to post her sadness about the sudden turn of events that she calls “a bad dream” and in her last post wondered why her “happiness” is being taken away from her.

Unlike the Kris-James brouhaha where James Yap got most of the sympathies, most netizens seem to be indifferent in reacting to this issue, with the senator getting the brunt of the more unkind tweets.
