Actress and TV host Toni Gonzaga was not affected by people constantly trying to cancel her out.
“No matter how many people or how many times you were canceled by other people, what’s important is to never cancel yourself,” said Gonzaga in an interview with Wil Dasovich for his SuperHuman podcast on July 13.
Despite the constant desire of people to cancel her, Gonzaga was unfazed. She reasoned that “everybody can be against you, but you don’t have to be against yourself.”
That is what the actress-host is doing. She is not betraying herself, letting her detractors win.
To add, Gonzaga said that becoming an enemy of herself is unforgivable, the biggest betrayal that anyone can do to themselves.
“That’s the biggest betrayal… Carolyn May said that. The biggest betrayal and the most painful betrayal you could ever experience is the betrayal that you do to yourself. They can all betray you. You can move on from that. Pero, when you betray yourself, that’s hard to forgive,” she said.
“You can’t forgive yourself because you betrayed yourself. You know in your heart that you are not supposed to do that. You know in your heart that you’re not supposed to be with this person.
“But you betrayed your instinct. You betrayed your feelings. So in the end, you’ll say, ‘Awww, I fought myself’ o ‘I didn’t listen to myself,'” she added.
Gonzaga also admitted that she was being canceled for 20 years already.
“I have been canceled for 20 years of my life,” revealed the actress-host.
She even was canceled for a whole year during the pandemic.
“Last year, I have been canceled for one whole year during the pandemic,” she added.
The actress-host was being canceled due to politics. For instance, during PBB: Connect, she defended a housemate who has favored the rejection of ABS-CBN’s franchise renewal bid, which eventually raised eyebrows and made her ousters active again.
But the actress-host is not getting affected by all the bashing and hate of her detractors. It’s because of her principle that she will never cancel herself.
“So it’s not painful for me to be canceled by society because I don’t cancel myself.”
