Alex Gonzaga: Single and sassy

Alex Gonzaga

One person I miss in TV5 is Alex Gonzaga (wala naman pong halong pagnanasa!). She is one of my favorite co-hosts (huwag lang magtatampo si Valeen Montenegro ha!). I am just happy that she is doing well in ABS-CBN and she never forgets her friends in the Kapatid Network (sabunutan ko siya ’pag kinalimutan niya ’ko!).

Just recently, while having dinner in a Makati restaurant with some TV5 friends, headed by our guardian angel Noel Ferrer and TV5 boss Perci Intalan (fresh from his New York wedding with Jun Lana), we found out that Alex was in the area with her family. We immediately invited her to join us. She graciously said yes (gracious ba siya?!). As expected, she “entertained” us with her usual bubbly self!

I asked her: “Sino nami-miss mo sa amin?” She replied: “Actually mas nami-miss ko si Shalala kesa sa ’yo. Hahaha. ’Yung tawanan namin, nakaka-miss. Tsaka parang nami-miss ko si Mo (Twister)! Nakapag move-on na kaya siya kina (bleep) at (bleep)?!” (’Wag na i-mention kung sino, ayaw namin maka-away si Mo! Afraid!).

Alex just finished a remarkable hosting stint with her sister Toni on “The Voice of the Philippines,” where she candidly teased Toni in one episode as the “Bangs of the Philippines” (remember the phenomenal bangs na nag-trend sa Twitter?!). That is how close she is to her sister. She jokes with her on and off camera like “BFFs” do. Actually, Alex is a natural comedienne and can throw hilarious punch lines as well. But she says, “Ganito naman talaga ako. Pero syempre nag-iingat na rin ako sa mga biro ko. Minsan na ’ko napahamak, ’di ba? So ingat lang din.”

She also doesn’t mind working with her elder sister. Only, she sees one problem with it: “Hindi na ’ko basta-basta pwede magsuot ng damit na nasuot na niya. Mahahalata. Actually, nagawa ko isang beses! Ang daming nakapansin! Nabuking!”

The former TV5 princess is currently busy with the gag show “Banana Nite” with Angelica Panganiban, John Prats and Jason Gainza, among others, where she gets to show her natural funny side. But asked if she misses hosting talk shows (she was one of the pioneers of the now defunct show, “Juicy” on TV5), she says, “Hindi naman. Para iba naman. ’Tsaka ang sarap ng feeling na ako ngayon ’yung walang alam na tsismis. Ako ngayon nagtatanong. ’Pag ako tinanong mo ng tsismis, wala talaga akong alam!”

Alex is very much single but she admits that she is entertaining a Chinese businessman suitor.

“Simula nu’ng nagka-boyfriend ako ng Chinese, naging malapit na ’ko sa Chinese. Pero ngayon, nag-e-entertain pa lang talaga ako,” Alex explains (ikaw na ang entertainer of the year!).

She excitedly awaits a soap opera project lined up for her. Unfortunately, the management has not decided yet who her leading man would be. There are rumors that she might be paired with JC de Vera, who is also a former Kapatid star.

“Siyempre gusto namin ni JC ng work. Hindi ko lang alam kung kami nga magkakasama. Although nagkasama naman kami sa TV5 dati,” Alex says.

So I asked her, “Given a chance, kung ikaw ang papipiliin sino gusto mo maka-partner?” She quickly replies, “Si Charice! O si Ka Freddie Aguilar?!”(Sige, both! Para love triangle ang peg! Push!).
