MANILA — Actress and television host Toni Gonzaga described her years on ABS-CBN’s "Pinoy Big Brother" as a defining season of her life, one she remembers fondly and without regret.
Gonzaga talked about "PBB" in the latest vlog of Kapamilya host Luis Manzano, who asked her what she misses most about the reality program.
"Mariel (Padilla), Bianca (Gonzalez), everyone. But you know kapag tinatanong 'yang miss, parang ganito 'yan eh: tatanungin kita, nami-miss mo ba ang mga ex mo? Bago ko sagutin 'yan, nami-miss mo ba?" Gonzaga asked Manzano, who replied: "Alam mo may uuwian akong pamilya."
"So 'yun ang sinasabi ko. When you ask that question, hindi mo siya masasagot na 'ah na mi-miss ko 'yung ganoon,' because that was a season in a time of your life. That when you look back, you are happy. You gave it your all, you gave your best, you gave your 100%. So you look at that season with no regrets and you look at that season na parang naibigay mo na lahat," she said.

Gonzaga said she was grateful for being part of the show for over over 15 years.
"It was a season in my life and I was grateful for the 16, 17 years na inilaan ko sa 'PBB.' That was a special time in my life that will always hold a special memory in my heart," she said.
"Kasi it also made me the host that I am today and I learned a lot from that era," Gonzaga added.
Gonzaga left "PBB" in February 2022, amid the controversy surrounding her apparent support for a lawmaker who pushed for her home network ABS-CBN’s broadcast shutdown.
