Bianca Gonzalez shared a heartfelt reflection as she marked the International Day of the Girl on Saturday, October 10.In an Instagram post, the TV host revealed that she once thought she would be raising boys once she becomes a mother. “When I was younger, I was so sure I was going to be a boy mom. Something in me was convinced I was going to be raising sons, but the universe had different plans,&quot; she shared.It turned out that Bianca would become a girl mom. &quot;Almost a decade ago, I gave birth to our first daughter Lucia, and three years after that, our second daughter Carmen,&quot; she highlighted.  Reflecting on her motherhood journey, she remarked she now understands why life has given her two girls.&quot;Today, it is very clear to me why God blessed us with two girls. Working with communities and in advocacies for most of my life has taught me that when you support girls, in their dreams, their goals, and their well-being, it is not just them that succeed, they lift with them their families, their communities, and the country. And what a blessing it is to be chosen to take on the responsibility of raising two girls,&quot; she said.<iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DPqiUx2kQQj/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1173458%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="856" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" 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>The Kapamilya host expressed her hopes that her daughters will grow up to be of service to others as well. &quot;Along with my husband JC (Intal, her husband), we hope to help them grow to be their best selves, using all the skills and talents they have been given to be of service to others and to help make this world a better place,&quot; she said.She added: &quot;With everything happening in the world now, it is easy to feel hopeless, but because of them and for them, HOPE stays alive.
