Iza Calzado happy for Bianca King for getting her role in Sentenciada

HOW DOES IZA Calzado feel that “Sentenciada”, the project offered to her after “I Heart You Pare” but which she turned down, went to Bianca King instead? “I’m happy for her,” she says at the presscon of her new sitcom, “Andres de Saya”. “She deserves naman na mabigyan ng lead role. Ako kasi, I want to focus muna on ‘Andres de Saya’. Although nag-comedy rin ako in ‘I Heart You Pare’, this is the first time I’m doing a real sitcom kaya gusto kong pagbutihin talaga. Also, babalik ako hosting ‘Eat Bulaga’.”

Is it true she got mad when the last taping day of “I Heart You Pare” extended up to 11 AM? “No. Kung nagalit ako, then nag-walk out ako. I didn’t. I finished the taping. I twitted about it just to express my feeling that sana we’ll all have a better working hours, but I’m not blaming the production kasi we really had to finish na all our scenes. Pero sino ba ang may gustong nangangarag sila sa taping, di ba? But I’m really happy with ‘I Heart You Pare’, which is really a pleasant surprise for me kasi I never expected I’d be replacing Miss Regine Velasquez in it. I enjoyed working with everyone, from Dingdong Dantes to Ms. Celia Rodriguez and all the badings involved in the show. The last few episodes are really memorable kaya huwag silang bibitaw. Timing nga, magtatapos ito this Friday, the next day naman, Saturday, ‘Andres de Saya’ starts airing after ’24 Oras’. It’s a joy working with Cesar Montano, Gloria Romero, Jillian Ward, Caridad Sanchez and the rest of the cast. If you want to forget your worries, watch this show at tatawa kayo ng tatawa. Saludo ako sa creativity ni Kuya Buboy (Cesar’s nickname). Ang dami niyang magagandang ideas on how we can make our scenes more effective. I first got an offer to work with him years ago but hindi natuloy. I’ve seen his award-winning films like ‘Jose Rizal’ and in my mind, gusto ko makatrabaho ko siya sa drama, but comedy ang binigay na unang project namin together at dito ko nakita how versatile he is an actor na magaling in both drama and comedy.”
