Heart Evangelista, inamo ng ama

BY RUEL J. MENDOZA

Hindi lang daw luxury items para kay Heart Evangelista ang kanyang mga mama­haling handbags kundi mga investment pieces din ang mga ito.

Tulad ng kanyang Hermès Himalayan Birkin 25 na may halaga na $300,000.

Nguni’t ang pinakama­lapit sa puso ni Heart ay ang pinakaunang Hermes Birkin Bag niya na kulay blue.

May sariling kuwento na ibinahagi ni Heart sa kanyang vlog.

Peace offering gift daw ito ng daddy ni Heart, ang restau­rant magnate na si Reynaldo Ongpauco.

Ayon kay Heart, binigay sa kanya ito ng kanyang ama para matigil na ang kanyang pagrerebelde sa kanila noon.

“The reason why I remem­ber this bag is first, it was my very, very first one.

“Second was my dad and I had a really, really bad fight and we haven’t spoken for a really, really long time.

“And when I finally made peace with my family, this was the bag that he gave me.

“Talking about bribing me… to leave my life!”

Nakatulong naman ito.

Ayon kay Heart, pinalambot nito ang kanyang puso.

Kwento pa niya, “Although I was still sad about leaving my old life – and my freedom at the time – he had a really fun­ny way of doing things. And yeah, he gave me a bag. So, I’ll never, ever forget this.”
