NAPAKASARAP kausap ng mahusay na direktor na si Paul Soriano na ngayon ay Presidential Adviser on Creative Communications.
Lahat ng ibinatong katanungan sa kanya ay sinagot, kaya naman happy ang lahat ng naimbitahang press na ginanap sa Winford Hotel Manila last Dec.05, sponsored by Winford Manila and Joel Serrano of Godfather Production.
Isa sa naging katanungan sa direktor ay kung anong natutunan niya sa kanyang asawang si Toni Gonzaga.
Ayon kay Direk Paul, “You know, honestly, outside looking in, if I can a step back and just, you know, from a perspective of not being her husband, or her producer or her director.
“And just outside looking in, I really believe Toni is probably the most powerful celebrity today, only because the criticisms and the hate that she’s getting are from equally powerful people too.
“You don’t rattle relevant people if you’re not doing something better than them, ‘di ba? And you know, of course, you know, I’m her husband, and I’m very extremely proud of her. She’s also one of the strongest people I know, right?
” And I’ve seen her in her darkest moments. I’ve seen her being very vulnerable but she chooses to get up every day and face that camera.
“She could have easily just moved out, taken all the criticisms and just, you know, go somewhere else.
“But what did she choose? She chose to create her own show. She chose to make a concert. She chose to make a film. She’s facing it head on. If that’s not powerful, I don’t know what is, right? Ahhm, you know I always tell her, ‘You are at the right place at this right time.’
“Because if you also study the path of her career, she’s also been one of the most heavily criticized.
“If you go back to her transfer, her network transfer and all that stuff… she’s been on very high profile shows, so I really believe she’s one of the strongest and most powerful women in the Philippines today. And she’s not stopping. So that’s quite remarkable.
“Whether you love her or hate her, you have to give credit where credit is due for me, you don’t agree with her politics, you don’t agree with what she’s doing, but you have to give credit where credit is due.
“She’s not stopping and I don’t think she ever will. Even if I try to tell her to slow down.
“Wala, Dire-diretso. She has hher mind on the prize and she’ll claim it. So if she’s all praises for me, I’m extremely proud of her.
” And I learned so much from her and you know just being happy being her husband, I am proud to be her husband as well. Parang I feel so blessed?” pagtatapos ni Direk Paul.
