Toni Gonzaga: "A partner does not define a woman."

Is her longtime beau, filmmaker Paul Soriano, the one for Toni Gonzaga? The actress/host/singer says, “I wouldn’t say yes if I didn’t see myself settling down with him in the future.”

Adding another product to her pool of endorsements, Toni Gonzaga was officially introduced as the latest face (and figure) to represent Coke Zero last Wednesday, May 23.

In an afternoon cocktail event turned press conference at The Gallery, Greenbelt 5, the gangly and giggly Toni was a stunning sight in a simple but regal black jumpsuit, beige heels, and her charming self.

Coke Zero’s tagline— “Have it all”— is fitting for the one and only Toni Gonzaga who possesses skills in acting, hosting, singing, and pulling laugh-out-loud remarks in perfect comedic timing.

Later in an interview with the invited press, Toni described what the rest of the year will be like for her: a movie and a teleserye on the way, which still remains confidential until the projects officially materialize.

At the moment, Toni has plans of recording another album, a project she has not ventured into since 2010. Her last studio album, All Me, reached gold.

Upon the mention of producing her own show, Toni’s face lights up and she talks a bit about it.

“Yes! Kasi nung after nung concert ko, parang na-realize ko I got involved with the whole production, sabi ko parang it’s fun to work on something na you are fully a part of.

“I mean, you are not just an artist, people don’t just tell you what to do, but you are really one of the people who [have] a say... after all you, are the artist.”

“You have… a word or an input in the concept and the whole production so that’s something I would like to do this year.”

Will her boyfriend, director Paul Soriano, have a hand or perhaps direct the show himself? Toni amuses her interviewers, “Package deal?”

The idea is not necessary. Toni says, “If he gets to direct it then that’s good, but if not then okay din naman.”

RINGLESS FOR NOW.  Not anytime this 2012 will marriage happen for Toni and Direk Paul. At least “not yet.”  

Toni believes, “Darating tayo diyan… wala pa akong ring so hindi pa talaga.” The 28-year-old says that she is “still enjoying everything right now.”

The ABS-CBN talent and the Thelma director have been a couple for five years now. According to Toni, no formula assures the strength and length of a relationship.

“It’s a matter of how committed people are to each other. If one of them starts to give up or stops committing na, then, that’s when it ends.

    i hope Toni just starts to socialize and meet other men now. She's just wasting her time with Paul. Paul was never faithful to her. He's been flirting around behind her back. He's been sucking up to women to get projects or income. No wonder he says he does not want to be "caged' in a relationship. He wants to be free to go out with other women. Toni is not using her head, if it's true he allows Paul to do that. That's not how a committed Christian man should act. I think if you are truly committed to a girl, you don't go out with other women unless your girlfriend is with you. The fact that Paul wants that means he is just like any playboy , a very unfaithful man. He is not a true born-again Christian. She should have checked what he has been doing with his "worldly" friends like his ISM barkada. LUSTING IS A SIN --check what Paul does ! Some of her fans call him Mr. Self-Centered or Babaero . Sayang, akala namin mabait at totoong Kristyano si Paul. Humanga kami lahat dati kay Paul. Iyon pa

    FP posted in his BI a conversation between Paul Soriano and his friend in his FB where he was telling him he has no intentions of marrying Toni G. He said he is just using her for companionship. PAUL DOES NOT HAVE PLANS OF MARRYING TONI ? Is he just using her bec Toni has many shows and she can help promote his projects and movie? Look how much Toni always praise the work of Paul. Daig pa ni Toni ang isang PR manager kung maka praise kay Paul. She is so naive. Sana Toni just finds a better man. Sabi nga ni Joey de leon, maswerte and apo ni Nestor de Villa sa kaniya. Any man is lucky to have Toni as a girlfriend and much luckier to have her for a wife. TONI SHOULD FIND THAT MAN WHO DESERVES HER.

    I don't get it. IT sounds like she's waiting for a ring, but she always says she doesn't want to get married yet or doesn't want him to propose yet. So what is it?

    Sad how the LG issue overshadowed the fact that she's The Coke Ambassador and other things she has to say. Look how the LG article was in the front page, and this one isn't...
