Ang natutunan ko is kapag merong ibang tao na mahal na mahal natin na may sinusuportahang tao na hindi talaga gusto or alam nating may ginawang mali, or hindi talaga tayo agree, they see them in a different lens. They see them in a human lens. Iba ang pagkakakilala nila, iba ang experience nila sa tao na to.
Meron silang empathy and compassion towards that person so that kapag may hindi nagawa yung tao na yun, they are able to extend grace na ‘Hindi, tao lang siya.’ And that goes for all political figures.”
Her remarks come in the context of the highly polarized 2022 Philippine presidential election, where Bianca publicly supported Leni Robredo, while Toni Gonzaga and Mariel Padilla expressed support for the tandem of Bongbong Marcos and Sara Duterte.
At the height of the campaign period, political discourse in the Philippines became increasingly intense, sometimes affecting personal relationships and friendships. However, Bianca highlighted that maintaining respect and avoiding personal attacks allowed them to preserve their bond despite differing viewpoints.
She emphasized that people often form their opinions based on personal experiences with political figures, which may differ from others’ perspectives. According to Bianca, recognizing this difference helps foster empathy rather than division.
The interview also sparked discussions online about the possibility of sustaining friendships despite ideological differences, with many netizens praising Bianca’s perspective as both realistic and compassionate.
Bianca Gonzalez is widely respected not only for her work in television but also for her advocacy and balanced outlook on social issues. She married professional basketball player JC Intal on December 4, 2014, in a scenic beach wedding held in El Nido, Palawan. Together, they have two daughters, Lucia and Carmen, and Bianca continues to juggle her responsibilities as a mother and a media personality. She is also one of the longtime hosts of Pinoy Big Brother, where she has earned praise for her authenticity and professionalism.
In a related report, Bianca Gonzalez-Intal shared how she approaches conversations about complex global issues with her children. She said she hopes to raise her daughters to be socially aware, responsible, and thoughtful individuals. The TV host emphasized the importance of guiding young minds to understand the world with empathy and critical thinking.
Earlier, Bianca also voiced her concerns about media coverage that highlights the cost of celebrities’ luxury items. She pointed out that such reporting may come across as insensitive, especially during times of economic hardship. While acknowledging that public figures work hard for their earnings, Bianca encouraged media practitioners to adopt a more mindful and responsible approach when presenting such stories.
