In a rare instance, celebrity sisters Toni and Alex Gonzaga sat one-on-one to talk about their respective careers and life in general.
Toni shared how hard it was for Alex to follow in her footsteps.
"Alex fought her way all throughout our childhood to be seen and heard," she said.
According to Paul Soriano's wife, growing up, Alex kept comparing herself to others and it took many life experiences for her to discover who she really is.
Of course, she's proud that now, her younger sister has finally found the courage not to dim her light anymore by being unapologetically true to herself.
"It was a long and challenging journey... she finally stopped asking for permission to achieve her dreams," Toni said.
Toni then reminded her followers that it's never too late to know who they really are.
"Embrace yourself and the world will embrace you and if others can't stand your light hand them some shade," she noted.
At some point in the video, Alex shed tears when Toni asked her for a message for her eight million followers.
“You are an answered prayer kay Lord, kasi iyon ‘yung—” Alex answered, teary-eyed. “Hindi niyo alam ‘yung pinagdaanan ko before that.”
Alex admitted questioning her worth in the entertainment business, as she felt like she's just her sister's shadow.
“Lord, paano ‘pag nawala na ang Ate ko, hindi na ako mabe-bless nang tulad sa kaniya? Kasi feeling ko nga, I’m just an extension of her blessing,” was how she put it.
But she's thankful now that she has found her calling as a successful YouTube vlogger.
