<p>They may no longer see each other often due to their busy work schedules and family duties, but Bianca Gonzalez remains in touch with her friends and fellow hosts Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Rodriguez. The three were at one time hosts for <a href="http://ent.abs-cbn.com/pbbs10" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em><strong>Pinoy Big Brother</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong> </em>before Toni and Mariel left the show.</p><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/BcMN6I3h8gZ/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=511&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A2611665.9%2C%22ls%22%3A2004295.6%2C%22le%22%3A2004391.6999999997%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="495" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>Bianca, 40, opened up about her lifelong friendship with Toni and Mariel in a recent interview for the online talk show <em>PUSH Bets Live</em>.</p><p>“Yes [we’re still friends]. We actually have a chat group — and the chat group is still called even to this day, even if ako na lang ‘yung natira, ‘Kuya’s Angels,’” she said.</p><p>Reflecting on their close bond, Bianca said, “It’s so overwhelming kasi we all started in our early 20s. So ibang ibang stage of life pa kami nun. I remember the first time we met, we were all heartbroken. I remember it was a trip to Hong Kong, nag-iiyakan kasi meron kaming mga bagong… parang break lahat in some way, shape, or form.”</p><p>“And that, like, I think truly started the bond. And then of course, different life stages. More relationships, eventually isa isa kaming kinasal. Isa isa kaming naging nanay.”</p><div><iframe width="789" height="416" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/l7zd_mvuA0c" title="Bianca Gonzalez on raising her girls: ‘Values are caught, not taught’ | PUSH Bets Live" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Bianca she is grateful to Toni and Mariel for being her constants in life. </p><p>“I think that through the different stages of life … it’s so important to have women in your corner who know you especially in the public sphere. It’s so important to still be connected to friends who knew you from the start, ‘yung kilala ka before you were whatever in your position, in whatever field you’re in. Because they know who you really are. They keep you grounded. … So they will always, always be that to me,” she said.</p><p>As for why they haven’t been seen together in a long time, Bianca said it’s largely due to their busy lives as mothers.</p><p>“Actually it’s ironic kasi ‘yung work, kaya pa ‘yung busyness ng work. Pero nung mga naging nanay na, oh my gosh. ‘Yun na ‘yung talagang wala, ang hirap na talaga,” she said.</p><p>“Kasi I think, if anything, all of us, even we work, we’re very hands-on with our kids.”</p><p>Bianca, Toni, and Mariel became friends while co-hosting <em>Pinoy Big Brother</em>. Following Toni’s departure from the show in 2022, Bianca stepped up to become the main host.
