Heart Evangelista's Surprise Visit to PBB Sparks Mixed Reactions Online

Heart Evangelista made a buzz-worthy appearance inside the Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition house on June 8, 2025. While many fans of the Kapuso actress were thrilled to see her as a houseguest, others weren’t exactly cheering.

On social media, a number of long-time PBB viewers voiced their disappointment and even said they would stop watching the show while Heart is inside the house. The issue? Her connection to her husband, Senate President Chiz Escudero.

Escudero has recently been under fire for allegedly stalling the impeachment trial of Vice President Sara Duterte. The House of Representatives had already forwarded the impeachment complaint to the Senate back in the 20th Congress. However, the trial has yet to push through, and critics are blaming Escudero for the delay.

Several legal experts and senators have expressed frustration over the Senate’s inaction, with some seeing Heart’s appearance on PBB as a possible move to soften the public’s perception of her husband.

Online platforms like Twitter lit up with reactions. Some users joked that “Kuya” (Big Brother) should have given Heart a mission to convince her husband to start the impeachment trial. Others sarcastically suggested Chiz should’ve joined as a houseguest too, with a task straight from concerned citizens: don’t delay justice.

Heart’s stay in the PBB house was short-lived. She exited the same night, after spending time with the housemates and creating a media stir outside.

It’s clear that even a light-hearted guest appearance can become politically charged when timing and public sentiment collide. Whether fans approve or not, Heart’s cameo definitely got people talking.
