Alex Gonzaga on being compared to sister Toni: “At the end of it meron talaga kaming pagkakaiba”

Alex Gonzaga says that there will always be differences between her and sister Toni.

Now that she’s working with her sister Toni Gonzaga as a co-host on The Voice of the Philippines, Alex Gonzaga relayed that she’s not pressured at all to be on-cam with her sister, but rather she’s pressured if she’s around with her off-cam. “Pag on-cam hindi ako napre-pressure na kasama ko ang ate ko, pag off-cam oo, kasi madami siyang napapansin, like ‘Bakit ganyan ka umuupo?’ Pati ‘yung kinakain. Sinasabi din niya kung hindi maganda ‘yung jokes ko. Ganyan siya pero on-cam, wala akong problema kasi ina-ano niya ako, nakikisakay siya sa akin, tinuturuan niya ako minsan,” she said.

Alex relayed that her big sister is very happy with what she’s achieving right now and Toni constantly gives her advice. “Sobrang happy naman siya for me at lagi niya akong binibigyan ng tips at gusto niya lagi kong binabasa ang script, ina-advice niya talaga ako. Ang dami talaga niyang sinasabi gaya ng, ‘O diyan sa ABS ang dami-daming artista diyan wag kang pabida, huwag kang masyadong madaladal sa tabi ka lang.’”

Now that they are working together, people couldn’t help but compare them to each other. When asked if she’s making a conscious effort to be different, the younger Gonzaga said, “Ano, wala na kaming ganon kasi di ba usually naman pag magkapatid, even nga ‘yung kahit kambal may pagkakaiba pa rin, kaya sabi ng daddy ko sa amin huwag na daw kami gumawa pa ng conscious effort kasi sooner or later makikita rin ng tao. Siyempre meron talagang pagkakapareho pero at the end of it meron talaga kaming pagkakaiba kasi wala naman talagang parehong tao di ba? ‘Yung personality niya iba naman sa personality ko,” she stated.

Will she follow the career path that her sister pursued in showbiz? “For me kahit ano kasi right now I’m enjoying a comedy show, I’m doing ‘yung sa hosting ko sa The Voice, tapos I’m doing a teleserye soon, so sa akin lahat ng pwede kong magawa is magagawa ko na binibigay sa aking project, so as of now hindi ko muna iniisip ‘yun.”
