Heaven Peralejo guested on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" Wednesday where she talked about her aunt, Rica Peralejo, and the career advice she received from her.
According to Heaven, they don’t talk about show business whenever they’re together during reunions, but they recently saw each other and her aunt had some advice for her.
“Recently, nagkita lang kami, sabi niya, ‘Naku. ‘Wag kang magse-sexy ha,'" she said.
Per Heaven, Rica told her that she no longer needs it because she already has a good career.
“Totoo naman. Wala naman po. Wala naman akong plano,” Heaven said.
When asked if she’s aware that she has a sexy image, Heaven answered in the affirmative, saying she embraces it and she feels comfortable with it.
“It gives me confidence at some point. Na parang sometimes, oo nga naman, why should I be so insecure with small things? I can be so much more. And sexy, parang anong masama sa sexy? It’s part of my job, too. I got, you know, endorsements because of it,” she said.
Heaven's mom is cousins with Rica and her sister Paula Peralejo.
During Heaven's guesting, she also shared that she doesn't feel pressured because of her last name.
“Sa mga tao naman po, nakakatuwa lang na minsan, ‘Oh, naka-work ko ‘yung tita mo,’ ganon. So parang, ah OK, it’s a good conversation starter na lang,” she said, adding that she doesn’t feel pressured at being a Peralejo.
Heaven was part of “Pinoy Big Brother” Season 7, which aired in 2016.
The reality series will soon air on GMA Network for the first time in celebration of the show's 20th anniversary this year.
