Something's got to give.
In earlier reports, Toni Gonzaga announced that she and veteran comedian-host Vic Sotto will be doing a movie this year. However, because of Toni's inclusion in the new ABS-CBN noontime show "Happy Yipee Yehey!," the reunion film will no longer happen.
The Kapamilya show will be on the same timeslot of "Eat Bulaga!," the noontime show on GMA-7 that Vic continues to host. In the local entertainment industry, talents from competing television shows on rival networks are normally prohibited from engaging in showbiz projects; a policy stipulated in their talent contracts.
"Yeah hindi na siya tuloy, because of this (Happy Yipee Yehey!). So, ganoon po talaga, maraming mga bagay na kung hindi para sa 'tin hindi para sa 'tin. Yung kay Robin hindi na tuloy, tapos ito (movie with Vic) medyo nasasanay na rin naman. Pero ang maganda naman kaya hindi natuloy dahil may magandang kapalit din naman. So tingnan na lang natin yung good effect," Toni told entertainment reporters in a press conference at the Dolphy Theater in ABS-CBN on Tuesday, February 8.
The singer-host-actress added that she waited six years before accepting an offer to host a noontime show in deference to her former "Eat Bulaga! dabarkads." Toni was given her first hosting break on the longest-running variety show in the Philippines.
"I remember si Willie Revillame nung bago pa lang ako sabi niya, 'Mag Wowowee ka na, i-try mo na.' Sabi ko, 'Respeto na lang dun sa dati kong kinabibiliangan.' I've waited six years, tapos nung dumating po itong opportunity na ito parang I think it's a blessing na rin siguro. Ang hirap na ring tumanggi kasi I'm taking it as a blessing para mapagkatiwalaan din ng management."
Time management
Toni could very well be the most visible celebrity in the Kapamilya network. Her regular hosting stints in "ASAP Rocks" and "The Buzz" on Sunday will be capped by a daily noontime show- a lineup making her appear on air each day of the week.
So how will Toni manage her time and address the issue of overexposure?
"Yung schedule po mag-aayos ng management. Yung sa overexposure po hindi pa naman po lumalabas yung noontime show ang alam ko po magagawan ng paraan yung ibang mga programa kung saan kasama ako. Yung management po yung nag-decide sa akin na mag-noontime show so sila na lang po ang mag-aayos ng proper management ng oras," answered Toni.
On snubbing issue
Toni also addressed a tabloid report that claimed Toni snubbed some fans in Antipolo, Rizal when they asked to be photographed with her.
"Hindi naman ako nagsasalita ng ‘ayoko.' Kung sasabihin kong ‘ayoko,' sasabihin ko ‘pasensiya na po.' Hindi po ako nagsasabi ng ‘ayoko' sa mga nag-pa-pa-picture. Kahit yung mga kasama ko mga PA (personal assistants) ko po, yung mga taong kakilala ko po, they can attest na hindi po ako nagsasabi ng 'ayoko'," Toni clarified.
"Hindi na po natin maiiwasan yan na talagang may taong may masasabing masama sa atin kasi hindi naman talaga natin maple-please lahat. Kahit anong try natin na i-accommodate lahat, meron talaga tayo minsan na hindi ma-accommodate. Hindi po dahil nag-susuplada o nag-tataray, dahil occupied yung isip namin mga artista rin dahil sa schedule sa iniisip. Minsan pag may intriga rin nakakadagdag din yun sa iniisip so hindi po intention yun. At saka hindi ko po iisipin yun kasi magsisimula pa lang po ang show, ayaw kong mag-isip ng mga negative vibes puro positive lang masaya lang kasi pag inisip mo yun makakadagdag pa yun ng worry, ng stress," she added.
