<div><img src='' alt='100912-toni_main.jpg' align='left' border='0' height='290' width='305'>Currently busy promoting her latest Star Cinema movie <i>This Guy’s In Love With You, Mare</i>, Toni Gonzaga revealed that it’s still not uncommon for her Mommy Pinty to check up on her via text message if she’s not yet at home. The 28-year-old actress admitted she is used to her parent’s ways already. “Normal <i>na yun, parang nangangati na yung kamay nun bago mag</i>-12. <i>Kahit tulog siguro yun, nag-ta</i>-type<i> ang kamay nun</i> (laughs). 28 years <i>na niyang ginagawa</i>,” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Toni said that as long as she lives with her parents, things in their house will never change no matter how old she gets. “<i>Mag-iiba lang ‘pag nag-asawa na ako. Sabi niya, ‘Pag may asawa ka na, hindi ka na sa amin. Hindi na kami ang nag-aalaga sa iyo. Eh hangga’t ngayon na kami nag-aalaga sa iyo.’ Pero hindi naman</i> strict <i>ang</i> mommy <i>ko, magtatanong lang yun kung san ka na,</i>” she said.</div><div><br/></div><div>Toni said that because they are a close-knit family, she always tries to involve her parents in any major decisions in her life. “<i>Siyempre minsan,</i> actually <i>nararamdaman ko din hanggang ngayon parang pag may konting nangyari, </i>consult <i>ako sa</i> Mommy, consult <i>sa</i> Daddy, consult <i>sa kanila. Maganda yun kasi</i> at least <i>‘pag may nangyaring masama, sila sisisihin ko </i>(laughs) <i>at may kadamay ako sa problema ko. Tinuturuan din naman nila ako na maging</i> independent. It just so happens <i>na pag</i> major decision <i>sa buhay ko, malaking bahagi ang kanilang </i>opinion,” she admitted.</div><div><br/></div><div>Toni also explained that she knows that she has already earned her parent’s trust. “<i>Meron. Meron namang</i> trust.<i> Kasi marami namang </i>instances<i> sa buhay ko na napatunayan ko na mapapagkatiwalaan ako ng mga magulang ako. Ano lang sila,</i> protective <i>pero hindi </i>overprotective.<i> Likas naman sa magulang yun na protektuhan ang mga anak nila, lalo na nanay ko. Hindi ko lang nanay, manager ko pa</i>. So<i> alagang alaga hindi lang yung</i> career <i>ko, pati yung imahe ko prini-</i>preserve <i>niya na hanggang sa makakaya niya</i>,” she explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>The talented comedienne said she is also not being pressured on when and where she plans to tie the knot with longtime boyfriend Paul Soriano. “<i>Hindi nila ako sinasabihan na bawal ako mag-asawa</i> or <i>hindi ka na puwede mag-asawa. Hindi ako pinagbabawalan,</i>” she explained.</div><div><br/></div><div>But before she gets married, Toni said she wants to fulfill another one of her dreams along with her sister Catherine (who has the screen name of Alex). “<i>Bago kasal, madami pa akong gustong gawin. Mga</i> in two or three years<i> pa, ganun.</i> <i>Gusto ko magkaroon nung programa na sa akin na makaka</i>-inspire <i>sa tao na</i> it’s something that I love to do, it’s my passion, <i>yung shini-</i>share <i>ko yung buhay sa tao. Yung programa na puwede kong angkinin na akin. Yun siguro,</i> dream <i>ko yun</i>. Actually dream <i>naming magkapatid yun na magka</i>-show<i> kaming dalawa na magkasama. Gusto namin ni </i>Catherine,” she revealed.</div><div><br/></div><div>For more updates on Toni Gonzaga, log on daily to <a href=''>Push.com.ph</a> and follow <a href='https://twitter.com/Push_Mina'>@Push_Mina</a> on Twitter.</div>
