Bulletin: Will 'frenemies' Iza and Sunshine work
together again?
With the second season of "Encantadia"
about to debut anytime now, the question in everybody's
mind is: Will Sunshine Dizon accept the chance to work
with Iza Calzado this time? Sunshine is all poised to
return to the small screen via the GMA-7 fantasy series,
where in the original “Encantadia,” she played one of
the four "sangres" (keeper of the gems). She is Pirena
(Fire), while Iza is Amihan (Air), Diana Zubiri is
Danaya (Earth), and Karylle is Alena (Water). Reports
have it that the new season will have new "sanggres" in
Carla Abellana, Rhian Ramos, Jackie Rice, and Jennylyn
Mercado. It isn't clear what role Sunshine will be
playing but Iza will reportedly essay the role of Ynang
Reyna, originally played by Dawn Zulueta, for the 2010
version tentatively titled "Encantadia: The Second
Saga."
Sunshine and Iza’s professional feud
reportedly started when they taped for "All About Eve." Their
on-screen rivalry has reportedly gone personal and from best
friends, they have become bitter enemies. In one report, Sunshine
allegedly refused to share a dressing room with Iza during the
taping for the birthday special of Dingdong Dantes, preferring to
stay outside the whole time.Allegedly, the spat stemmed from
Sunshine’s unprofessional conduct on the set, marked by her
tardiness. Iza was also reportedly hurt when she was told by a
production staff to change her outfit one taping day because
Sunshine was already wearing a dress of the same color. This feud
was aggravated when Sunshine did not greet Iza on her birthday in "Unang
Hirit." She was also conspicuously absent during the celebration.
And to make their spat even more obvious, Sunshine did not even do
the requisite VTR greeting for Iza during her “SOP” birthday
celebration. Sunshine denied it being intentional.
“I’m bad with dates. Even ‘yong birthday
ng mommy ko, nasi-switch ko sa birthday ng kuya ko. But I’ve made
sure na kasabay ng pagbati ni Kuya Lhar (Santiago) sa ‘Unang Hirit’
ay binati ko na rin siya,” Sunshine explained in one
interview.Sunshine also said that she greeted Iza when they shared
the stage during Dingdong’s birthday special. “Honestly, this is
such a petty thing. Hindi na ito dapat pinalaki,” Sunshine said in
almost sheer resignation.
In past interviews, when their
friendship had not yet been strained, Iza and Sunshine displayed
their love for each other. In the media huddle for "Impostora," for
example, both actresses had expressed their willingness to do a
kissing scene with each other.
“Kaibigan ko siya and she's the person
I'm most comfortable with. Para maganda ang kalabasan ng eksena,
kailangang kumportable ka sa taong makakahalikan mo,” Iza had said.
“Oo naman, si Calzado pa? Why not, walang malisya 'yon at gagawin
namin dahil trabaho. Hindi ko lang siya kaibigan, kapatid pa,”
Sunshine had also once enthused. Only recently, Sunshine was tapped
to be the judge in “StarStruck V” but was replaced by Iza when the
former begged off for health reasons.

Si Redgynn Alba ang program manager ng The Last Prince at siya rin
ang hahawak sa Encantadia: Second Saga na babalik sa ere sa
October. Sabi niya, abangan ng mga Encantadiks (loyal viewers ng
show) dahil isang magandang fantaserye ang kanilang inihahanda.
Gusto lang linawin ni Redygnn na wala pang cast ang Encantadia:
Second Saga at ayaw din nitong kumpirmahin kung kasama pa rin ang
original cast ng fantaserye lalo na ang apat na Sanggre na sina
Sunshine Dizon, Diana Zubiri, Karylle, at Iza Calzado.
Kung totoong wala pang cast ang Encantadia, hindi pa sure kung ganun
na sina Rhian Ramos, Carla Abellana, Jackie Rice, at Jennylyn
Mercado na bida sa ibabalik na fantaserye.
Pero narinig namin si Iza Calzado sa victory party ng Ang Panday na
pinag-uusapan na ang fantaserye kahit wala pang script. Kasama pa
rin si Sunshine Dizon at Diana Zubiri na balik-showbiz na. Si
Karylle na lang ang ’di tiyak dahil nasa ABS-CBN na ito.
“Huwag na natin siyang guluhin. She’s happier kung saan siya ngayon
at happy ako sa nangyayari sa kanya,” patungkol ni Iza kay Karylle.
Anyway, mas mabuting maghintay na lang tayo kung ang original
Sanggre pa rin ang gaganap sa role nina Pirena, Danaya, Alena, at
Amihan.
