IZA CALZADO is happy that “I Heart You Pare” is able to maintain its high ratings when she took over. “May nights nga na mas tumaas pa raw ang rating namin at talo ang mga katapat kaya nakakatuwa talaga,” she says. “Maging among the general public, I’m happy na tinanggap nila akong tagapagmana sa role started by Regine Velasquez. When people see me, they tell me natutuwa silang pinapanood ako as Tonette na pinag-aawayan nina Dingdong Dantes and Mark Anthony Fernandez.”
How about the rumoured rift between her and Marian Rivera because of “Ang Panday, Ikalawang Yugto”? “Ay, ewan ko kung saan galing yan but it’s definitely not true. May controversy raw as to who’s the real leading lady ni Sen. Bong Revilla. I really don’t know kung bakit ginagawaan kami ng away ni Marian as I don’t mind at all kahit mas malaki ang role niya sa’kin sa movie. Kesyo nagseselos pa raw siya na akong kapareha ngayon ni Dingdong sa ‘I Heart You Pare’ when we’re all good friends at nagkasama na kaming tatlo sa ‘One True Love’. Alam din niyang I’m into my own relationship right now kaya wag na lang kaming gawaan ng issue at wag na yang patulan.”
How is it working with Cesar Montano in the new sitcom “Andres de Saya”? “Ay, masaya kami sa taping. It’s so nice to work with him kasi very creative siya. Probably because he’s also a director, marami siyang magagandang ideas on how to improve each scene, even in how to make our lines more funny. Kasi ako, first sitcom ko ito so I don’t really have much experience in making people laugh. Bale ba, may pagkabungisngis din ako kaya may funny scenes kami, ako pang nauunang tumawa so I really have to control myself. But I’m enjoying it. Nakakatawa talaga ang show and I’m sure viewers will have a good time laughing out loud kapag pinanood nila ito when it starts airing in May.”
Since she’s now busy with two shows and a new movie, she had to beg off from co-hosting “Eat Bulaga”. “Ang sweet nga ni Mr. Tony Tuviera kasi he said na-appreciate niya ang presence ko sa show, so I promised him kapag nakaluwag-luwag na ako sa schedule ko, babalik din ako sa ‘Eat Bulaga’ where I really enjoyed the company of all my co-hosts kasi talagang very warm and caring silang lahat doon.”
