Actress-Host Luane Dy hails from the political Dy family of Isabela

LUANE DY is one of the most visible Kapuso newcomers. She’s seen every morning as a segment host in “Unang Hirit” and in the evening as Nikki, the contravida to Dingdong Dantes and Iza Calzado in “I Heart You Pare”. She also delivers the showbiz news in “24 Oras” on weekends. So what does she like more: hosting or acting? “Both,” she says. “I’m really enjoying being a part of ‘I Heart You Pare’. Ang dami ng galit sa’kin ngayon, lalo sa Twitter, which means credible akong villain.”

Born on January 25, 1986 in Cauayan, Isabela, Luane is Luzia Jannie Dy in real life and the second of three kids. Her dad, William, is a cousin of the current Isabela governor and Ian Dy, the mayor who’s ex-BF of Heart Evangelista, is also her cousin. “I lived a very sheltered life in a farm in Isabela until I was 14. My parents broke up at kami ng older brother ko and younger sister joined my mom and we lived in Quezon City. Since then, wala na kaming communication with our dad. I was in second year college taking up accountancy in FEU when I first joined showbiz sa ABS. I sent my younger sister to college. She’s now 21 and is also working. Our older brother naman is 29 at may trabaho na rin.”

Doesn’t she feel like communicating with her dad? “I do. Kaya lang, when my Kuya got in touch with him, napagalitan pa. We think he resents that we chose to be with our mom when they separated.”

She’s now on with cager turned actor Carlo Gonzales. “We met through common friends tapos nagkasama kami sa ‘I Heart You Pare’ starting last November, but it was only in January that we became officially on.”

What does she like in him? “Mabait siya. He cooks for me. Masarap siya magluto, lalo yung kanyang salpicao and beef stew. Also, he’s the male version of me. We both love to eat and sketch portraits.”

So what happens to her in “I Heart U Pare”? “My dad, Chinggoy Alonzo, is forcing to marry Ian Veneracion so lumayas na lang ako and I live with my friend, Mimay, si Gretchen Espina, so there’ll be peace in the family. Dingdong Dantes agrees to marry but on our wedding day, he’ll realize he loves Tonette kahit galit siya sa alter ego nito, si Tonia, na siyang nakasagasa before sa brother niya.”
