I Left My Heart in Sorsogon is not just a television series, it’s also about fashion, a cultural showcase, and a tantalizing peek into the wonderful sights of the city province that stole the hearts of many including that of Heart Evangelista’s.
In the series, Evangelista’s character will be wearing gifts that designers from all over the world have sent to her during the pandemic. It will also feature the beauty of the province, its delectable cuisines, and the smiles of its people.
Beginning tonight, come home to a love story designed to sweep hearts away as GMA Entertainment Group proudly presents the highly-anticipated romance drama top-billed by Evangelista along with Richard Yap and Paolo Contis.
and Paolo Contis as her leading men.
Viewers are in for a visually romantic treat as Evangelista steps into the role of Celeste, a fashion designer and socialite engaged to a dashing debonair, Tonito, brought to life by Yap.
“I can relate to Celeste in some ways because she’s so fashionable, she’s always dressed up yet somehow she uses her clothes as armor because you don’t really know the turmoil that is happening inside her,” Evangelista shared during the series’ virtual junket.
For Yap, his character is a different game, “Tonito is very giving minsan to a fault… I wouldn’t be able to do that in real life.”
“But one thing you can learn here is to just give and give love until it hurts because that’s really all you can do. Hindi mo lang ma-expect na you will receive the same love, but as long as you give it sincerely, you’ll be happy with whatever it is that you get.”
When Celeste reluctantly returns to her hometown, Sorsogon, she is forced to face the emotional baggage that she left behind when she moved to Manila. She still resents her father, who is now critically ill, and her father’s second family for looking down on her glitzy fashion life. She wants nothing more than to leave, but she finds herself face-to-face with her old flame, Mikoy, portrayed by Paolo, who stirs up feelings she thought she had long forgotten.
“It’s the story that I always choose.” Paulo shared. “Kung maganda ‘yung kuwento, that’s when I get hooked sa isang project. But more than me choosing this project, I’m happy that GMA chose me, to be honest. May nakita sila na Mikoy in me and I’m very thankful that they gave me this opportunity to do a ‘mabait’ role on television.”
The longer that Celeste stays in her hometown, the more that she unexpectedly rediscovers her roots, rekindles her love for family, its people, and Mikoy, who just simply won’t leave her heart.
The series is made more exciting by a roster of talented stars including Kyline Alcantara and Mavy Legaspi. Also starring in the show are Michelle Dee, Rey PJ Abellana, Isay Alvarez, Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino, Marina Benipayo, Debraliz Valasote, Issa Litton, Jennifer Maravilla, Zonia Mejia, Bryce Eusebio, Dayara Shaine, Elias Point, and Victor Sy.
