"I am playing the same role. Iba lang ang treatment dito sa TV. Dito kasi mas na-established na Maria Makiling is the protector of nature. Ipinapakita niya yung powers niya," says Iza Calzado about her role as Maria Makiling in Panday Kids. Iza first played that role in the movie Ang Panday.

"Yes, very happy!" sagot naman niya.

STARSTRUCK V. Sa Sunday, February 21, ang Final Judgment Night ng StarStruck V sa Araneta Coliseum. Ano ba ang aabangan ng mga tao sa gabing 'yon?

"Hindi ko alam what the show has in store for them because I'm only a judge and I'm not part of the production. But I know it's going to be a very big thing, special night."

Sa tingin ba niya ay deserving ang napiling Final 5 na sina Sarah Lahbati, Diva Montelaba, Steven Silva, Enzo Pineda, at Rocco Nacino?

"Yes, they deserve to be in the finals, all of them. Not [only] for working hard for the challenges, some of them really had that X-factor that people love. Hindi mo talaga maintindihan that people love them and vote for them. So, they really deserve to be there," sabi niya.

Hindi na ba siya nagulat na natanggal si Nina Kodaka?

"She was one of them, like two or three na we were expecting na matatanggal. Kasi ano, e, she actually made it pretty far. Because bago pa lang siya, sinasabihan siyang 'low bat' at walang energy. But she has this certain charm like in the way she would answer. Personality niya yun, e. Low bat man, nakakatuwa siya.

"I keep telling them, all 14 [finalists] of them, have one foot on the door. Some of them will go through the door, not meaning they would shine as bright as the other StarStruck. Some of them might even surpass the Final 2."

Any fearless forecast?

"No fearless forecast. I'd like to keep it to myself until the Final Judgment," sabi ni Iza.
