Bianca Gonzalez, a well-known Kapamilya TV host, recently had the chance to sit down with actress and singer Maris Racal on her podcast Paano Ba 'To which airs on several platforms.

The conversation not only delved into Maris' current projects and personal journey, but also sparked a wave of nostalgia for Bianca, who couldn't help but recall their first meeting back then.

"She really is SUNSHINE, mula noon hanggang ngayon," Bianca wrote in a heartfelt social media post following their interview, one that has since gone viral among Maris' fans and followers.

According to the TV host, she first met Maris during the "house arrest" phase of Pinoy Big Brother, a period before the housemates officially enter the iconic house. Back then, Bianca described Maris as a shy girl whose charm quietly revealed itself whenever music came into the picture.

"She was quite shy and her eyes would disappear whenever she'd smile, but when she held her guitar to sing a few lines, she revealed both vulnerability and confidence at the same time, plus an ex factor that eventually, viewers saw as well," Bianca fondly recalled in her now-viral post.

Over the years, Bianca has witnessed Maris' steady evolution — not just as a great performer on stage, but also as a woman who is steadily carving her name in the local entertainment industry.

"It has been a joy to watch her grow and shine these past 11 years, not just as an actress and artist, but as a woman. And watching her on the big screen as Sunshine made me so, so proud. From Irene Tiu to Gab Rivera and now Sunshine... what can this girl NOT do?! It will come as no surprise if Maris wins major acting awards for this film. Napakahusay! Napakatapang," she shared online.

In addition to her admiration for Maris, Bianca also praised Antoinette Jadaone for making Sunshine, "Masterfully written and directed by Antoinette Jadaone, Sunshine is a very important and affecting film that I hope a lot of people watch so it sparks necessary conversations."
