Esquire Philippines Calls Out Heart Evangelista’s PPE Fashion

Tone-deaf much??? Then again……….

Many have criticized Evangelista’s insensitivity to those who can’t afford PPEs, while others are saying that she has donated a lot for pandemic relief to be spared of scrutiny.

But, the fact that COVID-19 has killed hundreds of thousands still remains. In a country that hasn’t flattened the curve, much less passed the first wave (as of May 21, the Philippines has 13,434 confirmed cases with 846 deaths), it’s a tone-deaf move. This, along with the fact that health workers and frontliners are still in need of PPEs, is enough of a reason not to flaunt “new normal looks.”

Another argument brought up by a number of Twitter users is that Evangelista was actually promoting the use of proper safety equipment. To this we say, a simple mask selfie would have sufficed.
