Alex Gonzaga On Being Another Virgin Bride Like Her Ate Toni

ALEX GONZAGA says she’s been exclusively dating for four months a non-showbiz Fil-Chinese guy who’s taking up law. It obvious that the moment she lost her Ate Toni who got married, she found someone new in her life. “Talagang ganun, kailangang palitan siya sa buhay ko,” she says at the presscon of her new movie “Buy No Die Later”. “Pag may nawawala, may ibang pumapalit.”

But she won’t reveal the guy’s identity yet. “Abangan nyo na lang dahil ilalabas ko lahat sa bagong libro ko.”

So what’s her parents’ reaction to the guy? “Wala silang sinasabi. E, kapag silent sila, that means, aprub sila. Basta kailangan, sumunod kami sa curfew. Pag lumalabas, hanggang 12 midnight lang. So sumusunod kami roon.”

So she’ll be a virgin bride like her Ate Toni? “Dapat naman talaga, ganun. Pero alam mo yun, siempre, namumulaklak ka na rin naman. Gusto mong ipakita yung mga bulaklak, pero hindi pa talaga puede,” she laughs.

Her first movie, “Praybet Benjamin”, was an entry in last year’s Metro filmfest. Now, her second movie, “Buy Now Die Later” is also an entry in the coming filmfest. “Oo nga, we can say pang-filmfest talaga ang beauty ko. Maganda ang role ko rito as Chloe, a showbiz wannabe na gustong maging sikat na singer. Mother ko si Lotlot de Leon, who made an arrangement with an antique shop owner, si TJ Trinidad, para sumikat ako. Nag-hit nga ang song ko pero may backlash pala ito na kakila-kilabot. At hindi lang ako ang naging biktima ni TJ kundi pati sina Vhong Navarro, Rayver Cruz, John Sweet Lapus at ang mommy ko mismo. Nakakatakot ito pero may light touches kaya matatawa rin kayo.”
