 1. Will Toni Gonzaga take a break from showbiz for her pregnancy?

"I think she will work until she gives birth, gano'n si Toni, e," Paul says, and he has nothing but support for her Toni. "For as long as the doctor allows her. We have monthly check-ups. Sometimes twice a month we have check-ups. The doctor says she’s completely healthy. She can work as long as she gets her proper rest and the working conditions are safe," he says. The soon-to-be parents are very excited to welcome their little boy and start a new chapter of their lives. "It’s exciting just like how I make films, it’s unpredictable," he says. It's too early to say who would be the godparents of their "mini-Paul", but it's safe to say Toni's sister Alex and his brother will be two of them. (pep.ph)
