She maintained that she has worked endlessly as she had a goal she wanted to achieve. </p><p>“Even when people weren’t looking, I never stopped working. I had a goal, I had a dream and I’m very proud of everything that I have achieved. But the sad reality at this point is that sometimes it’s very hurtful that as an independent woman, like myself–– I’m so independent, I am so hard working and I have pride in what I do,” she shared.</p><p>Despite this, Heart aired out her frustration over the comments made against her and her work over the past weeks on social media. She claimed that she is more than just a “political wife” as she works hard for her own money.</p><p>“Your hard work is diminished, your hard work is all of a sudden nothing just because you are now a mere political wife which is so–– not that I’m insulting other women out there,” she added.</p><p>The Kapuso actress wanted to set the record straight and deny all the allegations being thrown at her on social media. She recalled how the late Miriam Defensor Santiago helped her with the pre-nuptial agreement she had for her and Chiz.</p><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/9/23/heart-evangelista-skips-fashion-week-i-think-we-need-to-be-here-1949"><strong>READ: Heart Evangelista skips Fashion Week: ‘I think we need to be here’</strong></a></div><div><br/></div><p>“Since I’ve been working for a long time, the late senator Miriam Defensor who is like a second mother to me, who handled most of my contracts when I was younger. She demanded that I get a prenup with my now-husband,” she shared.</p><p>“Which means, we have complete separation of assets,” she added.</p><p>Heart asserted that she is an independent woman and hasn’t done anything illegal as all of her money is earned through her work–– be it from brands, acting, fashion events, among others.</p><p>“What is mine is mine, what is his is his. So, being a woman who is independent, who is working hard, to be dragged into this situation where I have not done anything, I have just been concentrating on my job, on my passion which is my lifeline,” she maintained.</p><p>Because of these accusations, Heart revealed in the same Instagram Live that she will be filing legal cases against the fake news that is being thrown at her. She claimed how she is in talks with her lawyers already as she doesn’t want to be the “casualty.”</p><p>“I just wanted to come here to air out and tell you how upsetting it is that ako pa yung naging casualty. Ako pa yung naging political tool of entertainment,” she revealed.</p>
