Iya explained to the entertainment writers in the media conference for her new show that she is happy with her career path in GMA network.

"I am very happy with this career path. I'm very, very happy. It's funny because you know when I entered the industry, I never intended for it to be a career of mine."

She added, "I really want to be a singer and a dancer. But, sabi ni Lord hindi 'yan para sa'yo and led me to this."

Iya also disclosed that it is indeed a blessing to have a job that she enjoys very much.

"I love it and I really feel so lucky and so blessed to be here and still be enjoying what I am doing."

The Kapuso star and celebrity mom admitted that if she were given the chance, she is still open to work in a drama series.

"I still would when given the opportunity, when given the right opportunity. It's definitely something I would still do."

Chef Jose echoed the same sentiments, saying that he is on the right career path.

"My main is goal is to be a celebrity chef talaga na, well-known celebrity chef. That's why I moved to GMA Artist Center and I think 'yung plan talaga nila Ms. Tracy (Garcia) for me is to push 'yung pagka-chef ko talaga. Kasi mas nagki-cater 'yung career path ko dito sa GMA because of the shows, there's more culinary shows or lifestyle shows which I really want to do."

Like Iya, Chef Jose is also willing to do drama series in GMA Network as he already took some acting workshops.

"Same with Iya, if there's an offer naman for a teleserye and do a show I am willing to do it naman because I've also just finished doing workshops with Ana Feleo so I did two sessions with her in the acting workshop."

He added, "If it's the right role that comes my way, I don't mind acting pa rin po."

Catch the pilot episode of the second season of Eat Well, Live Well. Stay Well on July 2, 11:20 a.m. on GMA Network.
