Chiz Escudero says he feels inferior to wife Heart Evangelista

“I feel inferior actually.”

This is what Senator Francis “Chiz” Escudero said when asked how it feels to be married to actress Heart Evangelista. 

In a forum held at Club Filipino in San Juan City on Thursday, the senator shared that his wife, Evangelista, is now "at her prime," noting that she is successful in her career as an actress and as a painter.

“My wife is at her prime. Maganda ang kanyang career sa showbiz, nagpe-painting siya, gumagawa siya ng mga obra niya, hindi lamang sa canvass, pati sa mga bag,” Escudero said before the members of Kapihan sa Klub, Inc.

“Marahil mas malaki ang kita niya at kapapatayo pa lamang niya ng bagong bahay kaya ngayon ay pwede kong ipagmalaki na binabahay ako ni Heart Evangelista,” he said in jest.

Escudero also shared that he is happy with his life now that he gets to spend more time with his wife and children after the elections last year.

“I'm actually happy where I am right now. Matapos ang nagdaang halalan, mas konting atensyon, mas konting away. Sila ang napapalaban at napapaaway ngayon. Matapos ang halalan din may tatlong taon pa ako sa Senado na tinatapos ko na lamang sa pagganap ng aking tungkulin,” he said.

“Labas sa away at bangayan at mas malayang nasasabi kung anumang nasa isip ko hanggang matapos ang termino ko. Hindi tulad sa mga nagdaang panahon na marahil may pipigil pa na ambisyon, may pipigil pang mga pagkakataon, pero ngayon mas malaya kong pwedeng sabihin anumang nasa isip at puso ko kaugnay ng aking pagiging miyembro ng Senado,” he added. —KG, GMA News
