Maria, and Ian Veneracion.</p><p>As expected, the questions, ranging from the things that made them feel &quot;kilig&quot; to the pressure of living up to the hopes of fans, were focused on the three, as well as director Antoinette Jadaone.</p><p>Gonzalez only had to speak in length during the tail-end of the press conference, when each of them were asked to give their message to the public.</p><p>She could not contain her emotions.</p><p>Gonzalez, who gave birth to her daughter with her non-showbiz boyfriend four months ago, teared up as she expressed her gratitude towards Star Cinema for offering her a way back into the limelight.</p><p>&quot;Akala ko hindi na ako makakabalik,&quot; the actress said.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img src="http://sa.kapamilya.com/absnews/abscbnnews/media/news-special1/entertainment/6/21/beauty-gonzales-062216.jpg"/><figcaption><div class="embed-desc">&#x27;Hindi ako nanghihinayang na nabuntis ako dahil ang sarap maging nanay,&#x27; says Beauty Gonzalez. <em>Vincent Garcia, ABS-CBN News</em></div></figcaption></figure></div><p>Gonzalez admitted that she also felt a tinge of regret that her decision to get pregnant cost her possible roles that might have propelled her acting career to new heights.</p><p>&quot;May kaunting panghihinayang. Hindi naman iyan nawawala sa atin,&quot; she said.</p><p>However, Gonzalez added, in an assured tone, that she could not be any happier now that she has a daughter: &quot;Parang feeling ko may purpose na ako in life. I feel so complete. Ang sarap, sarap maging nanay.&quot;</p><p>She turned reluctant though when asked about her plans to marry the father of her daughter, art curator Norman Crisologo.&quot; Gusto ko munang gawin ito having may ino-offer sa akin. I want to fill up my own cup first before marriage.&quot;</p><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-version="7" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:658px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:8px"><div style="background:#F8F8F8;line-height:0;margin-top:40px;padding:50.0% 0;text-align:center;width:100%"><div style="background:url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAACwAAAAsCAMAAAApWqozAAAABGdBTUEAALGPC/xhBQAAAAFzUkdCAK7OHOkAAAAMUExURczMzPf399fX1+bm5mzY9AMAAADiSURBVDjLvZXbEsMgCES5/P8/t9FuRVCRmU73JWlzosgSIIZURCjo/ad+EQJJB4Hv8BFt+IDpQoCx1wjOSBFhh2XssxEIYn3ulI/6MNReE07UIWJEv8UEOWDS88LY97kqyTliJKKtuYBbruAyVh5wOHiXmpi5we58Ek028czwyuQdLKPG1Bkb4NnM+VeAnfHqn1k4+GPT6uGQcvu2h2OVuIf/gWUFyy8OWEpdyZSa3aVCqpVoVvzZZ2VTnn2wU8qzVjDDetO90GSy9mVLqtgYSy231MxrY6I2gGqjrTY0L8fxCxfCBbhWrsYYAAAAAElFTkSuQmCC);display:block;height:44px;margin:0 auto -44px;position:relative;top:-22px;width:44px"> </div></div><p style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BG0AyCdw2QC/" style="color:#c9c8cd;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A photo posted by Christine Marie Gonzalez (@beauty_gonzalez)</a> on <time dateTime="2016-06-18T22:31:57+00:00" style="font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:14px;line-height:17px">Jun 18, 2016 at 3:31pm PDT</time></p></div></blockquote><script async="" defer="" src="~//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js" type="text/javascript"></script><p>In &quot;The Achy Breaky Hearts,&quot; Gonzalez will play the friend/love advice guru to the character of Sta.
