IWA MOTO is one of the five finalists in TV5’s “Celebrity Dance Battle” that will have its grand finals on Saturday, 9PM. She says she ballooned to almost 190 lbs. when she was pregnant with her and Pampi Lacson’s love child. “Nine months na ang baby girl ko noong June 23 and I’ve since lost 50 lbs., but I have to lose some more,” she says. “Big help ang pagsayaw ko rito sa ‘Celebrity Dance Battle’ to lose weight. When I get home after each rehearsal, I can’t even hug my baby dahil masakit at pasa-pasa ang buong katawan ko. But it’s all worth it dahil nag-enjoy ako sa pagsayaw ko rito.”
Who among her competitors (Gary David, Priscilla Meirelles, Ciara Sotto and Rafa Siguion Reyna) is her biggest rival? “May iba pa ba? Si Ciara talaga. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, ipapakidnap ko na siya nang di siya makasipot sa finals. Pero siya talaga ang pinaka-love ko sa lahat. She’s really a good dancer at ang galing niya sa stunts.”
Is it true she and Pampi have broken up? “No, kami pa rin. Normal lang sa isang relasyon yung nagtatalo kayo. Kung minsan, one week kaming di nag-uusap pero magkasama pa rin kami. Pag dumarating sa bahay yung anak niya, si Thirdy (Jodi Santamaria’s son), inaasikaso ko yung bata, but di ko siya kinakausap. As of now, okay kami.”
What’s the usual source of their conflict? Jealousy? “Ay, hindi, never naging dahilan ang pagseselos. Minor misunderstandings lang. Usually, yung I feel he doesn’t have enough time for me kasi sobrang busy siya sa business niya. But he’s a very good dad. He also finds time for his kids.”
If Pampi is not the jealous type, would she do sexy scenes again? “Okay lang yun sa kanya, basta ang ayaw niya, kissing scenes. Ayaw niyang makipaghalikan pa ko sa iba.”
So she’s now with TV5 for good? “No, free lancer ako. I can work with any network basta okay ang project.”
