“Windang” is the first word that came to Bianca Gonzales’ mind after she was asked how she felt when she was promoted as the main host of the popular reality show Pinoy Big Brother Kumunity Season 10.
In a recent interview on Magandang Buhay, Bianca shared, “Pinoproseso ko pa rin lahat ng nangyari kasi nangyari siya in a way na hindi ine-expect ng lahat.”

She added that it all came as a surprise to her. Even after being a host on Pinoy Big Brother for several years, she was always content by being a supporting host on the series.
Despite this, she is extremely grateful for the unexpected blessing and is still letting it all sink in. She is committed to doing her best in order to serve the loyal fans and viewers of the show.
Now taking on bigger opportunities, Bianca never forgets her roots and her personal advocacies, including being a loud and proud morena.
Although she’s been loving her skin color and championing the splendor of it, she admitted in her 2021 guesting in Magandang Buhay that she actually used to be insecure about it, especially when she was younger.
“I think ang insecurity ko ay usually insecurity din ng mga morena. Ito ay ‘yong hindi pantay na kulay, lalo na no’ng nasa grade school ako, nasa high school ako. ‘Yong parang proseso ng learning to love yourself pa ‘yon kapag mas bata ka, ‘di ba?” she told the momshie-hosts, as she recalled how blemishes and dark spots have been troublesome for naturally brown-skinned people like her.
Bianca also emphasized the important role of her family in her journey towards accepting and loving her own skin and other imperfections, as well as how it could be the case for others, too.
“Pero for me, malaking part ‘yong family. Ako kasi, morena ako, ‘yong ate ko morena din at ang ganda-ganda, ang poise-poise. So, growing up in my family, never sa’kin pinaramdam ng kapatid ko o ng magulang ko na dahil maitim ako, mas pangit ako. Walang gano’n,” she shared.
Then she added, “Nakikita ko na lang siya sa mga commercials. Kasi ‘di ba may mga commercial na kinokompara ‘yong maputi doon sa maitim. Or sa mga magazines. Dati mas konti talaga ‘yong representation ng mga morena. Ang laki-laking factor ng pamilya para maramdaman ng bata growing up na beautiful ako sa kung ano ako, sa kung anong meron ako, maputi man o maitim, ito ako beautiful.”
