The actress added that Duterte made a request when she had the chance to show him some of her masterpieces as a painter.

Evangelista said, “He joked about me painting The Last Supper, pero ibahin ko daw ang hitsura ni Judas. Gawin ko raw guwapo naman. Something like that. Titignan ko kung kaya ko ‘yun. Medyo madugo ‘yun.”

“I will definitely give him one of my paintings. But I’m not sure if it’s going to be The Last Supper. Na-pressure ako doon,”the Kapuso actress said laughing.

The actress further said that aside from advising her to continue her acting carreer and do not stop painting. Duterte also shared some funny stories to Evangelista and company.

According to the wife of Senator Chiz Escudero, “May sarili pa siyang version ng kuwento ni Da Vinci or something about the painting of The Last Supper. Ang haba ng kuwento niya, tapos imbento niya lang pala. Super cute.”

“He was very, very kind. I didn’t expect him to be so very sweet, soft-spoken. He’s funny and very gracious. It was very normal. In the beginning, I was very nervous to meet him. Who gets to meet the President like that? But it was very casual. He was very normal. I appreciated it.
Parang hindi siya Presidente,” kuwento pa ng aktres.
