For people who have worked hard and encountered tons of challenges all their lives, probably getting what they want in life, may it be material or not, will suffice.<\/p>\n

While some are wishing for new gadgets, clothes, a house, car, and all the other shiny things as something that they deserve in their lives, others like Toni Gonzaga simply want their family to be complete.<\/p>\n

“I feel like I deserve a complete family that I have right now. Because I worked so hard all my life, I tried to be a good person,” Toni shared in an interview with Tonight With Boy Abunda<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Feeling ko parang ‘yun naman ‘yung<\/em> deserve ko i<\/em>n life. ‘Pag nag-asawa ako hanggang sa lumaki ang mga anak ko, buo ang pamilya. Na hindi maging<\/em> broken ‘yung<\/em> marriage, hindi <\/em>broken maging ‘yung<\/em> home (I feel like that is what I deserve in life. If I get married, I want my children to grow up having a complete family, that it will not be a broken marriage or broken home),”<\/em> she added.<\/p>\n

Toni told Boy that she grew up witnessing her parents fighting so hard to be together just so she and her sister, Alex, will have a complete and happy family.<\/p>\n

Being one of the known couples in the entertainment world, the 34-year-old actress also shared it was not hard for her to remain faithful to her husband, filmmaker Paul Soriano, as she is focused to their first-born, Seve, and in building their family.<\/p>\n

“There’s no reason for me to look the other way. Hindi ako nagsasalita ng<\/em> period kasi baka dumating ang<\/em> point na i<\/em>-test kami ni<\/em> God, na ayaw ko na dumating ‘yung<\/em> point na ‘yon (<\/em>I do not want to give a final say because we might come to a point that God will test us, which I do not want to happen). Pero ngayon<\/em>\u00a0(But now) there’s no way for me to look the other way,” Toni said.<\/p>\n

“And there’s so many dreams that we’re building together na ayaw kong masira <\/em>(that I do not want to be destroyed),”<\/em> she continued.<\/p>\n

Even she was married to Paul for three years already, all the things she has learned in marriage so far is not yet enough as she is still learning a lot from her experiences.<\/p>\n

For instance, for someone like her who is more of a listener and observer, Toni said she has taught herself how to express her feelings more to others.<\/p>\n

“I always felt na<\/em>\u00a0if I say what I feel baka maka-<\/em>hurt pa <\/em>(I always felt that if I say what I feel, others might get hurt). Pero hindi pala <\/em>(But it is not like that), the more you will be hurt if you don’t communicate,” she said.<\/p>\n

It was on June 12, 2015, the day the country celebrates Independence Day, when Toni and Paul exchanged “I Dos” in front of the altar. A year after, the actress gave birth to Seve.<\/p>\n

Toni will be starring in an entry for the 2018 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), Mary, Marry Me<\/em>, along with her sister and Sam Milby.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
