This one's for you, Panda! Yesterday, I unveiled my "Have A Heart For Aspins" campaign with @pawsphilippines. This is a dream come true for me because I grew up with a lot of aspins. I understand how they're beautiful and gentle animals who are equally deserving of love as any other pet. So when PAWS approached me for this campaign, it was perfect! I've been with PAWS since 2005, and since then, I've seen many loving aspins find homes through their rescue shelters. Adopting an aspin was one of the most fulfilling decisions I've made in my life, so I encourage everybody to try it too! Right now, there are over 300 rescues available for adoption from @pawsphilippines 🐾 I hope you support the cause ❤ #AdoptDontShop #AspinClub

In an Instagram post, Heart wrote, “Filipinos have always been known to be a people of love, and I believe that love is never discriminatory; love is inclusive to all, regardless of age and sexual orientation.

“Thank you for giving me the Equality Champion Award. 💜 I will continue to create awareness for the rights of the LGBTQIA+ community, and will encourage everybody to do the same. Let’s all join forces to create a Philippines that is diverse, accepting, and full of love.”
