Heart at 18 on ABS-CBN

 The Philippines' sweetheart Heart Evangelista invites the entire country to witness her most special birthday when her home network, ABS-CBN, airs her debut special, Heart at 18, this Sunday, February 16, at 9:30 PM. This TV special was taped live from Heart's own debut party held on Feb. 11 at the Maynila Ballroom of the Manila Hotel, and hosted by Boy Abunda.

Befitting her journey into womanhood, Heart will be donning two gowns for the duration of the night. She will first wear a Rhett Eala creation - a pink long gown in silk chiffon beaded by Swarovski crystals, to receive the guests. Then, she will slip into an Inno Sotto gown for the cotillion de honor. Heart's makeup is by Juan Sarte.

 Escorting her on this special evening is John Prats. Her closest friends in the industry will make up the eighteen roses and candles: Kaye Abad, Nikki Valdez, Camille Prats, Sarah Christophers, Angelica Panganiban, Serena Dalrymple, Shaina Magdayao, John Lloyd Cruz, John Prats, Patrick Garcia, Paolo Contis, Baron Geisler, Dominic Ochoa, Carlo Aquino, Onemig Bondoc, and Marvin Agustin. Also included are her relatives Christine Solis, Camille Ongpauco, Lissa Quirino, Virginia Bagtachini, Gino Ongpauco, John Pierre Montenegro and Tristan Ongpauco.

Heart's first dance with her father will be to the tune of Here, There and Everywhere, a song requested specifically for her father by Heart.

Heart at 18 will be aired on ABS-CBN, this Sunday, Feb. 16 at 9:30 PM.
