Power couple Senator Francis Escudero and actress and influencer Heart Evangelista ended rumors on the lawmaker’s health with a live video on Instagram Friday.
Speculations on Escudero’s health swirled on social media after a vlogger claimed a senator from Sorsogon was rushed to St. Luke’s Hospital.
In her four-minute live video, Evangelista said she just visited her doctor for an eye checkup.
“I came from the doctor yesterday and it’s official: I’m gettingold…My eyes …when you turn 39, they said automatic na raw ‘yun (that’s automatic). When you turn almost 40, your eyes aren’t as perfect as it was. Nakakapikon (annoying),” she said.
She then turned the camera to her 54-year-old husband, whom she described as having his “usual haircut.”
“Say hi, babe! How are you doing? Anong kinakain mo (What are you eating)?”
“Mini pizza,” Escudero replied.
Escudero also had a fresh post on his IG account yesterday, writing:
“It is my hope that in the near future, we will see the rise of another medical school in Mindanao. Kaya naman po ginagawa natin anglahat na pwede nating maitulong bilang (That’s why we are doing everything we can as) Chairman ng Senate Committee on Higher, Technical and Vocational Education (CHTVE).
“Recently, I rose before the plenary to sponsor House Bill 7089, also known as ‘An Act Establishing a College of Medicine in the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines-Cagayan de Oro City Campus.’ Layunin po natin na makapagbigay ng mga kurso sa medisina sa iba’t ibang bahagi ng bansa upang matugunan ang pangangailangan sa kalusugan ng ating mga kababayan. #senateph”
