It’s been almost five years since she first joined showbiz via the 2016 season of Pinoy Big Brother: Lucky 7 and former teen housemate Heaven Peralejo was thankful to finally get one of her biggest roles onscreen. Heaven said she never expected her role to become a major part of the show. <a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/10/9/fresh-scoops/push-evolution-heaven-peralejo-188811'>WATCH: PUSH Evolution: Heaven Peralejo</a>“Grabe kasi two days before mag-start yung taping namin for the first cycle, dun ko lang nakuha si Tisay yung character ko. So sobrang major surprise talaga yun kasi supposedly I’m just part of the cast. So nung binigay nila sa akin yun, sobrang laking pressure and thankfully si Tony (Labrusca) naman yung naging partner ko nun and nandun naman siya to help me. So yung mga chemistry namin winork namin nila direk. And nandun naman yung whole cast para tinulungan din naman ako and nagtutulungan din naman kami. First teleserye ko ito kaya sobrang thankful ko din naman dito. Nakakaiyak at nakakatuwa na natapos itong show na ito. Mixed emotions,” she said.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/4/13/fresh-scoops/heaven-peralejo-tests-positive-for-covid-19-192803'>READ: Heaven Peralejo tests positive for COVID-19</a>Even after revealing that she had tested positive for COVID-19 while working on the set of the show, Heaven said the unfortunate experience does not discourage her from accepting future acting projects.“Siyempre go lang ng go, laban lang ng laban, work lang ng work para sa pamilya. Sa buong <a href='https://ent.abs-cbn.com/bagongumaga'>Bagong Umaga</a> journey ko, natutunan ko kasi tao lang naman tayo, lahat nagkakamali. Pero nasa pagmamahal na yung acceptance kumbaga. At yung alam mo na rin sa sarili mo. Sa buhay matututo at matututo at madadapa ka rin pero at the end of the day ang importante naman is kung paano ka nag-rise up dun sa situation na yun,” she explained.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2021/4/20/videos/heaven-peralejo-on-having-covid-19-i-couldnt-fi-192949'>WATCH: Heaven Peralejo on having COVID-19: ‘I couldn’t find the will to survive’ | PUSH Daily</a>During <a href='https://ent.abs-cbn.com/bagongumaga'>Bagong Umaga</a>’s six-month run, Heaven said it was a very professional atmosphere on the set of their lock-in tapings held inside the ABS-CBN compound.“Once na dumating kami ng set, pinag-usapan na namin nila direk Paco at nila direk Carlo na dapat focused kami.
