Actress with Heart

Her face is like porcelain and her smile suggests "handle with care," and yet she turns out to be the youngest femme fatale who leaves the greater male population restless and the attention-hungry chicks suffering from anxiety attacks. Could she be ready for such a responsibility? Unfortunately, for this 17-year-old, it’s just too early to play the game. And with a weekly teen series, a sitcom and tons of that "glittery glam" stuff jotted in her "pink book," who has time for boys? Watch out, the once "sweet Heart" may very well be the next "Heart-breaker."

Heart, who is…

… the person who shaped your life?

My mom! Ever since I was a kid, my mom has always bugged me about life, boys and reality. She would tell me to be cautious with guys, not to marry early and to always use my head.

… your ultimate pop icon?

I like Britney Spears. Here in the Philippines, all our local girl singers are, like, copying her. So, she’s a pioneer, in a way.

… the hottest man alive?

Freddie Prinze, Jr. Sad that he’s marrying Sarah Michelle Gellar, though. And Ryan Philippe.

… the person you despise most?

Some girls from my old school. There was this guy who had a crush on me and I didn’t know that he was my kabarkada’s crush, too! She got mad at me when she found out, and, you know, when someone in school hates you, everybody else will. So, I guess I hate them for making my school life hell!

… your style guru?

Alicia Silverstone. Ever since Clueless became big, I started buying clothes that were similar to her style even though I couldn’t wear them then. But now that I’m on TV, I’ve started wearing those preppie school girl get-ups.

… your fave celebrity?

Ashley Judd. She’s really pretty! She also has this certain class, and she’s so feminine.

… on your CD player?

Enrique Iglesias. I love his MTV with Jennifer Love Hewitt. She’s just so pretty there. They really make a good couple. And the video made me cry a lot!

…your soul mate?

You know what’s funny? It’s John Pratts – or someone like him. I used to think that we weren’t compatible, having the same birthday and all (both celebrate their birthdays on Valentine’s Day), that I never considered him as my soul mate. But we just totally jive. Although I’d probably go for a more mature version!

…your dream date?

Freddie Prinze Jr. I’d definitely steal him from Sarah Michelle Gellar! And Josh Harnett, too, because he has a nice bod!
