Nagkaroon ng pagkakataon ang PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) na makapanayam si Iza Calzado, isa sa dalawang love interests ni Flavio played by Senator Bong Revilla sa pelikulang Panday 2.

Nangyari ang aming interview with Iza kagabi, September 29, sa set ng nasabing pelikula sa Tanay, Rizal. 

Matapos makasama ni Iza bilang leading lady ni Sen. Bong Revilla sa Ang Panday (part 1), ang topgrosser ng 2009 Metro Manila Film Festival, kasama uli siya sa Panday 2 ngayong 2011.

"I still play the same role from the last Panday," simula ni Iza.

"My name here is Maria... parang based sa Maria Makiling, na mare-reveal dito. [Parang] I came from the world ng mga diwata, mga engkanto ba?"

Ano 'yong kaibahan ng character niya as Maria in Ang Panday  dito sa Panday 2?

"Well in Panday 1, I was basically the source of his [Panday] hope to believe in himself.

"Whereas here, I will be the cause of well, not intentionally, na gagawin ko, pero parang hahanapin niya ako," ani Iza.

"Although he loves me, he loves someone else and becomes torn. And maganda yung mangyayari in the end, e, kasi makikita ni... maganda yung [revelation].

"Actually gusto ko yung end, e, nung film. Hindi ko puwedeng sabihin, maiintindihan ninyo na lang yun.

"Basta parang, it leaves room for a third, a... episode, yeah," masayang ibinahagi ni Iza.

HEART TO HEART. Noong August 21, 2011, Sunday, sa isang live interview with Iza Calzado sa Showbiz Central ng GMA-7, pumutok ang balita tungkol sa breakup nila ng kanyang longtime boyfriend at businessman na si Atticus King. (CLICK HERE to read related article)

Dahil dito, tinanong ng PEP kung kumusta na ang puso ng aktres.

"No matter what you're going through, it's your disposition naman that will make a difference," ang pahayag ng GMA-7 TV host-actress.

"Everyone goes through problems. Everyone goes through trials, heartbreaks, ahm... loss.
