The Gonzaga sisters recently uploaded a candid vlog which took a turn for an emotional opening up of the younger Alex Gonzaga’s bottled up struggles growing up.
Philippine actress Toni Gonzaga uploaded the “What made my Sister Cry…” video with sister vlogger Alex Gonzaga, where Toni decided to throw Alex questions that she has never asked her younger sister.
It turned out Alex had a hard time growing up with having less of their parents’ attention, when Toni started show business.
“Success for me is when your family is proud of you. Ang definition ko dati ng success, ay kung ano ang naachieve mo. So, ganito yung na achieve ng ate, dapat ganito din ang magagawa ko parang maging proud din sa akin ang parents ko.” Alex said. “It took me a while to realize na yung meron ka, hindi ko makukuha yun dahil hindi yun ang para sa akin.”
Alex said the verse made her emotional and she felt as if the Lord is telling her that the he will really never leave her side. Two years after reading the said verse, Alex started vlogging and rediscovered herself in the process.
When Toni asked Alex what her message is to her 8.4 million Youtube subscribers, the comedian quipped, “You are an answered prayer kay Lord.” Alex also gave her fans a piece of advice, emphasizing that challenges and hardships are good for their growth as a person.
“[Kung] mas masakit yung na e-experience nyo, mas maging happy kayo. Kasi, ibig sabihin nun mas maganda ang balik. Mas kabahan kayo pag puro sarap ng buhay ang nararamdaman ninyo, kasi hindi kayo tinuturuan. Pag mas maraming sakit, ibig sabihin tinuturuan kayo kasi mas malaki ang responsibilidad na ibibigay sa inyo.” she concluded.

It was not until the younger Gonzaga came across a verse from the bible that changed her perspective - Joshua 1:5, which states: “No one will be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.”
