Toni Gonzaga was born on January 20, 1984
She got her first big break as a fan of Piolo Pascual in a softdrink commercial, at the age of 17 years old. She recalls that at that time, "Masaya ako at excited kasi ito yung first lead commercial ko tapos Piolo was there di ko nga ineexpect na nandun sya." (I am happy and excited because this is my first lead commercial after Piolo was there and I did not expect that he was there.)[citation needed]
Toni later became one of the co-hosts of hit noontime variety show Eat Bulaga! (GMA-7) where she started her showbiz career. At about the same time, she joined Studio 23's Wazzup Wazzup as one of the anchors and was tagged as the "News Diva" because she always seemed to deliver the news with such a powerful voice.[citation needed] (Studio 23 is a subsidiary of ABS-CBN, widely regarded in the Philippines as GMA-7's competitor.)
After signing with ABS-CBN (and leaving GMA7), She encountered different accusations of being ENGRATA but she is not, They had meetings with GMA before she left and the said network welcomes Toni whenever she want to. Toni quickly became a part of such shows like the Most Requested Show (MRS) with Roderick Paulate and Amy Perez. Of which she says, "masaya katrabaho mga beteranong artista kasi aside sa magaling sila at enjoy kasama marami kang matutunan sa kanila."[citation needed] She was also a part of Entertainment Konek (ETK) with Ogie Diaz, which she enjoys because of the fun environment. She also signed up as of the female co-hosts of the then-novel reality show, Pinoy Big Brother. "Natutuwa ako at nagpapasalamat kasi they (Management) considered me at they trusted me na maging part ng malaking show na ito,"[citation needed] she says. She shares that the offer to be a part of PBB came before their group went to perform in the US for the US Kapamilya Caravan. She took up AB Communication Arts at the University of Santo Tomas
