However, they showed that friendship has no boundaries. In a recent vlog uploaded on the YouTube channel of dermatologist Aivee Teo, the Kapuso actress recalled the first time she met the late politician.

She saw me in front of Rustan’s when I was really, really young. She said, ‘You’re Heart Evangelista, right? My son adores you’ — and that son was the one that passed away. So, parang she found some kind of connection,” Heart Evangelista shared.

From that, friendship bloomed as they were constantly communicating with each other. The late Senator, who was one of the brilliant lawyers in the Philippines, was the one reviewing the showbiz contracts of the actress.

“She even made me go to her office and lahat ng lawyers niya nakapila. She went, ‘This is Heart Evangelista. She’s going to be our new project,'” Heart recalled.

For Heart, Miriam Defensor-Santiago is like a queen. It is because of the attention of other people when she enters a room. “Everyone would stand up. Iba! Parang she came from an old world, an old soul,” the actress shared.

When asked about the effect of losing a close friend, Heart Evangelista sad that she really cried.

“I was crying because at the time we didn’t talk as much. She was so protective over me. In fact, she only allowed me to get married if I got a prenup,” she said.
