“Binigla kami ni Direk Joey Lamangan diyan,” says Iza. “I thought my wearing a two-piece was only in the pictorial. I didn’t know I’d also do it on TV. Inisip ko na lang na it’s part of my role, I’m playing a character who joins the bikini contest to win money for my mom’s bail dahil she’s in jail, and yun na, I’m in character all throughout the taping. Yun nga lang, my friend Maggie Wilson is one of the judges and she tries to prevent me from winning so we end up fighting.”
“Wala namang dapat ika-insecure si Iza in donning a skimpy bikini as she’s got something to show,” says Luis. “Her constant running and dieting paid off. It’s good panay rin ang workout ko sa gym kaya I didn’t have any second thoughts anymore when Direk Joel told me I’d have to bare my body in this episode.”
