Rumors say that Toni Gonzaga has been asked to sing the national anthem during the inauguration of the incoming President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. at the National Museum.
On June 30, Marcos will take his oath as the 17th president of the country.
Paul Soriano, Gonzaga’s husband, did not confirm the allegations of his wife accepting the request, saying the announcement of the inauguration details should come from the Presidential Communications Operations Office.
Marcos applauded Gonzaga’s bravery for standing up for him despite being canceled on social media platforms.
“We should congratulate them for the fine work that they did. In front of me is Miss Toni Gonzaga. Sabi ko nga kanina na siya, ang nag-start ng kampanya na ito. Noong pumutok yung interview sa akin at kriniticize siya, ang tapang tapang nito.
“I didn’t expect that this elegant lady would be able to withstand these criticisms. Sabi ko nga kay Paul ‘yung asawa mo, lahat ng problema kayang harapin.’ Nag-10 million, 11 million yung aming interview, sabi ko mukhang may pag-asa tayo, puwede na natin itakbo.”
Marcos also appreciated Soriano’s help and support during the campaign period.
“Sinundan pa ni Paul, who did our ads. Sa aking palagay, nobody can contest at malayung-malayo. Ginagaya nga, eh. Di ba yung isa o dalawang ads natin ginagaya? They were that good, and we kept the momentum going and the message alive,” Marcos stated.
