She has built her personal brand as a vlogger and content creator, among other things. She is also proud mom to her daughter Tyronia.On Valentine’s Day, Toni wrote a self-love post to celebrate how she has survived and thrived through the years.  “Ikaw ang pinakamalupet na babeng hassler sa Pinas dahil pinili mong maging maraming bagay na nakapakimposibleng pagsabay-sabayin,” she reminded herself. “You entertain people sa paraan na kaya mo para mapasaya sila.”She took time to reflect on her humble beginnings, and appreciate where she is now. She attributed her success to hard work and being true to herself.“Hindi ka man lumaking masagana sa buhay pero ikaw ang gumawa ng sarili mong swerte,” she said.“Salamat dahil masipag ka, mapagmahal, at palagi mong pinipili magpakatotoo kaya ka masaya. Marami kang natulungan at pinipili mong magpatawad kahit halos lahat sila ay iwan ka,” she added. “Hindi ka perpekto, pero madaming nagmamahal sa ‘yo.”Toni is now part of the cast of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quaipo</a> as peanut vendor Chiqui. The show airs from Monday to Friday on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, CineMo, iWantTFC, Kapamilya Online Live, and ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook Page.
