During the press conference for their upcoming movie “Starting Over Again,” Piolo Pascual admitted that he once dated Toni Gonzaga, but he was quick to add that nothing romantic blossomed out of it. Piolo said Gonzaga was then just starting to establish a name as an actress.
“Nung nag-transfer po si Tin dito sa atin, lumabas kami. I remember nanood kami ng concert ni Kuya Gary sa Araneta. But right there and then, I realized, and I thought to myself na it’s too unfair para harangin mo or pigilan mo 'yung pangarap niya to become a certified actress,”
Pascual added:
“Gusto niya makilala muna bilang Toni Gonzaga kasi kaka-transfer lang niya dito sa ABS so nagparaya tayo.”
Piolo Pascual is happy to have witnessed how Toni Gonzaga evolved not just as an actress but also as a singer and host.
Piolo and Toni's movie "Starting Over Again" is Star Cinema's Valentines Day offering. The movie is directed by Olivia M. Lamasan.
