Matagal nang na­kalipat si Iza Calzado sa bahay ni Rufa Mae Quinto sa isang gated village na nabili niya.
Mahigpit ang security sa village na tinitirhan ni Iza at pabor ito sa kanya dahil sa isang hindi kilalang lalaki na nagpi­lit na makapasok sa bahay niya.
Walang idea si Iza sa katauhan ng unwan­ted visitor pero sinabi ng kanyang kasambahay na nakiusap ang lalake sa security guard na papasukin siya dahil importanteng makausap niya ang aktres.
Nakaramdam ng takot si Iza, lalo na nang malaman niya na matagal na naghintay sa kanyang pagdating at nag-abang sa gate ang lalaki na ayaw magpakilala.

New Year, new pospects

Kapuso star Iza Calzado, who had a banner year in 2009, is poised to extend her winning streak.

Her first movie for 2010 – the remake of the Ishmael Bernal comedy “Working Girls” – is already in the works with one of her dream directors, Jose Javier Reyes, at the helm. A new show, “Encantadia: The Second Saga,” is also in the offing.

For her New Year’s wish, Iza pines for a romantic comedy or an action flick and maybe a Best Actress award. “Lahat naman siguro kami nangangarap ng ganyang award,” she shares. “Bakit pa kami nagpapakahirap, ‘di ba?”

When asked about enhancing her looks, the classically beautiful actress-host replies, “Sa katawan, madami akong gustong i-improve. Sa face, ayokong magreklamo kasi baka may bawiin si God. Pero meron akong mga scars dahil sa chickenpox. Even my teeth, may sungki ako. But I find imperfection charming.”

Botox doesn’t appeal to Iza. “Oo, mawawalan ka ng expression sa face,” she points out. “P’wede ‘yun kung model ka o kaya host o newscaster. Pero actress, no, kasi kumbaga sa painter, your canvas is your face.”

With the natural calamities that recently hit the country, plus the other tragedies that made Pinoy's Christmas less happy, it is just timely to send such message to every Filipino. PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) asked some of the local celebrities how they would share their blessing to Pinoys who became victims of these unfortunate events. Iza Calzado: "In little ways. It doesn't have to be grand—maybe somebody you know needs help, maybe a little child needs a hug. You can always 'pasalove'" anytime of the day. It's in the small interaction. It's in the small deeds that we do."

 

Iza craves for more challenges

ASK Iza Calzado how she feels about people regarding her as an elite  and she will promptly parry the praise. “I don’t want to think about it unless I become comfortable where I’m at in my career. There are so many other things I want to do that I can’t afford to sit down and relax. I am happy that I already have a place in the business that no one can take away from me, but I want to show more...do more,” she says without any tinge of false modesty.
