Add former Bb. Pilipinas-World Danielle Castaño to the growing list of beauty queens who have decided to join show business.

Isa kasi si Danielle sa napiling cast members na magbibigay kulay sa  remake ng Iskul Bukol—ang popular sitcom na pinagbidahan noon nina Tito Sotto, Vic Sotto, at Joey de Leon at napanood sa IBC-13.

Kumpleto ang lead cast ng programa sa story conference na ginanap last Monday, February 14, sa TAPE Studios sa Central Business District sa Manggahan, Pasig City.

"Actually matagal na 'to, e. I auditioned, I think it was May or June of last year. But I went to the States ulit kasi dun yung family ko, e. Pagbalik ko dito tinawagan ako, sabi, "We want to talk to you. We have a meeting,'" kuwento ni Danielle sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) pagkatapos ng story conference.

"So I went and then they told me that I'm gonna be one of the characters. Siyempre I was so happy naman kasi they gave me an opportunity like this. Kahit na nagsisimula pa lang ako, at least nabigyan ako ng role na ganito. And siyempre, gagawin ko lahat ng makakaya ko para mapaganda itong sitcom."

ACTING EXPERIENCE. Meron na rin namang previous acting experience si Danielle kaya hindi masasabi na unang salang niya bilang aktres ang upcoming TV5 sitcom na mapapanood simula sa Mayo.

Ginampanan ni Danielle ang papel ni Gregoria de Jesus sa pelikulang Ang Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio na naging kalahok sa Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival noong nakaraang taon.

Nag-audition din si Danielle para masungkit ang papel ng bayaning si Gregoria de Jesus, na siyang maybahay ng Katipunerong si Andres Bonifacio.

Sinasabing si Angel Locsin ang original choice para sa role subalit hindi ito natuloy kaya nagpatawag ng audition ang direktor na si Mario O' Hara.

Nagkaroon din ng minor role si Danielle sa comedy film na LOL: Love On Line na pinagbidahan naman ni Vic Sotto at Paula Taylor noong 2009.

May participation din si Danielle bilang amazona sa 2010 Metro Manila Film Festival blockbuster entry na Si Agimat at Si Enteng.

Nakakatuwa namang isipin na ang ina ni Danielle na si Eppie Muriel ay nag-guest dati sa original Iskul Bukol.

"Well, I don't remember seeing the episode!" natatawang sambit ni Danielle.

Dagdag niya, "I've watched some of the clips kasi kanina pinakita. Siyempre, kakapanganak ko pa nga lang yata nun nung pinapalabas 'yong show, so hindi pa ko masyadong familiar. But as much as I can, gusto ko maging familiar talaga sa show and pag-aaralan ko talaga 'yong script."

REPLACING JANINA. Unang nakilala si Danielle ng publiko noong sumali siya sa Binibining Pilipinas noong 2008.

    Kaya nga lumipat ang Bb. Pilipinas pageant sa ABS kc feeling ng namamahala, they are not growing sa GMA after all these years. They see the potential of bringing the pageantry to a bigger audience worldwide and with a tinge of class. Gets nyo?

    exclusibo, baga ang ibig mong sabihin, you ENVY the candidates of Bb. Pilipinas 2011 dahil sa ABS, their stars will shine brighter. Tignan mo kawawa si Janina San Miguel, di ba sa GMA na-air yung 2008 pageant?

    Its nice that new people are joining showbiz. At least as a former candidate she will be noticed in TV5. I pity the new candidates of BP dahil bagsak nila sa ABS.

    Hmm someone says number 1 ang isang palabas sa buong Visayas. Papaano kaya nagawa niyang malaman iyon. Obviously this is an illusion. Mahirap talaga ang fans na isang laos at walang talent na artista.
