For former “Pinoy Big Brother” housemate Vivoree Esclito, it is important to maintain self worth when one goes through the pain of a broken heart.

“Hindi ko naman maitatanggi na (I can’t deny that) I’ve had [a] thing with guys before pero sobrang importante talaga sa akin ‘yung self care (but self care is really so important to me). Every time I get my heart broken talaga (really), I focus on myself more,” she said when asked about how she gets over a heartbreak, in the virtual media conference for “Love Bites” yesterday, Sept. 14.

Esclito plays a woman who fell in love with a campus heartthrob, played by Anhtony Jennings in the episode titled “Lost and Found.”

For Esclito, becoming a better person can make her prepare more for the guy who is really meant to her.

“[It’s no longer like] you know nothing about love [so you can’t do anything] when you get your heart broken,” she explained.

Meanwhile, did she expect to be in a love team with Anthony Jennings? She said it was unexpected.

“Kasi wala naman talaga akong (because I really have no) official love team but I am open to working with anyone. Sobrang happy ako na (I am so happy) that I was able to work with Anthony in this project,” she noted.

“Love Bites,” composed of eight different stories of love featuring some of the brightest Kapamilya stars, premieres tomorrow, Sept. 16 on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube Channel. JB
