After all the ruthless bashing that Toni Gonzaga received when she was chosen as one of Pond’s “Most Beautiful Faces,” the skincare brand has definitely made its point: That a woman’s beauty goes beyond physical features, and encompasses the person she has become through her story of struggles and triumph. “Ito ang pinaka pangit na naging model ng Pond’s… Dati mga dyosa ang Pond’s Girl, ngayon pwede na yong kagaya ni Toni… Hindi po kami basher ni Toni, nagsasabi lang kami ng totoo na hindi maganda si Toni Gonzaga…” These were among the nasty comments posted on the celebrity’s Instagram account following her announcement that she was chosen to be part of such a distinct group of women that have been chosen as Pond’s Girls of their respective generations. What Toni’s online bashers were unaware of, however, was that the actress, host and singer was chosen for the iconic title precisely because of the transformation she had undergone over the years. On July 10, Toni was officially welcomed into the Pond’s family with a gala at The Peninsula Manila in Makati City, and she admitted, “Never in my wildest dreams had I thought I could be a Pond’s Girl. Because before, when I would line up to audition for Pond’s VTR commercials, ang dami talagang magaganda [there were a lot of beautiful women].” She continued, “And I kept thinking, kailan kaya ako malilinya sa mga models at mestiza? Kailan kaya pwedeng Filipina beauty ang mag-endorse ng Pond’s?” Finally, Toni’s time has come.
