MANILA - There were plenty of tears at the finale press conference of the hit afternoon series “Kadenang Ginto” on Wednesday.

After being together for over a year, its cast members were obviously emotional considering that the routine they have been accustomed to since October 2018 will soon change.

Among those who was unable to contain her emotions was Beauty Gonzales, who played Romina Mondragon in the series.

Gonzales shared how grateful she is for the show.

“Thank you Lord kasi sa totoo lang, ‘Kadenang Ginto’ is my make-it-or-break-it teleserye. Muntik na akong lumipat. Muntik na akong nakipiyesta sa kapitbahay natin pero mas masarap ang pagkain sa ABS-CBN so bumalik po ako dito,” she said.

A lot were also surprised when Gonzales shared something about her health when the project landed in her lap.

“When I started the show, I was anorexic. I was 100 pounds. Now, I’m the healthiest I’ve been in my life. And to be working with [these people], it’s a blessing. It’s a blessing to be alive right now and to be healthy. I am happy to be here and healthy,” she said.

Noting that she has been through a lot in showbiz, Gonzales shared the one wish she has when “Kadenang Ginto” finally ends.

“I’ve been fat, I’ve been thin. Now, here I am. Actually the only wish I want after ‘Kadenang Ginto’ is to make friends with my co-stars. Kasi sa totoo lang, naging isang pamilya kami pero masyado kaming busy lalo na ako sa pagiging Romina na hindi ako nakikipag-in touch sa kanila,” she said.

Gonzales then thanked her co-star Dimples Romana, who played Daniella, her character’s antagonist.

“I am so thankful to be working with her because dati iniidolo ko pa siya… Sabi ko dati gusto ko maging Dimples Romana kasi lahat ng shows nandoon siya. Gusto ko mahaba ang buhay ko, kasing haba ng buhay niya. And to be working with her, and to be a lead actor on this show, thank you so much. Parang naging full circle na 'yung pagiging artista ko because I’ve been looking up to you for so long,” she said.

Gonzales believes Romina would not be a household name if it wasn’t for Daniella.

“I don’t want to say that this is the ending but this only the beginning of a beautiful story,” she said. “ABS-CBN, thank you for making my dreams come true, for making our dreams come true.”

“Kadenang Ginto” will air its final episode on February 7.
