Binibining Pilipinas stint and Miss Universe 1994

Gonzales won the Binibining Pilipinas-Universe 1994 title and represented her country at the Miss Universe 1994 pageant held in Manila, where she won the Best National Costume award and landed in the top 6 finalists. She produced one of the most famous answers in an international beauty competition. When asked by the host about the number of islands in the Philippines, she boldly asked back, "Hightide or lowtide?"

Television and movie career

She hosted the show, At Home Ka Dito (You're At Home Over Here), a Philippine lifestyle program airing on ABS-CBN. Adding to its pathetic branding as a show is the introduction of a reality TV treatment to its features, pioneering what may be a new trend—the reality TV lifestyle show. In store for viewers are themes that showcase highly-engaging segments, like reality makeover sessions of both celebrities and ordinary people, in-your-face presentation of beauty problems and solutions, real-time celebrity home visits and closet raids, and many other surprise segments to look forward to. Her films includes Kalabog and Bosyo, Oki Doki Doc (1993)- TV SERIES, P're Hanggang Sa Huli (1995), Ikaw Naman Ang iiyak (1996), Dyesebel (1996), Bilang Na Ang Araw Mo (1996), Parak: The Bobby Parkers Story, Kadre, Epimaco Velasco, Bridesmaids, Ben Delubyo, Resbak, Babalikan Kita (1999), Iligpit Si Bobby Ortega, Markang Bungo (2001).
