Ang pagka-kontrabida ni Iwa Moto

Tampok si Iwa Moto sa programang Luna Mystika at, muli, bilang isang kotrabida ay ang kanyang pinaghahandaan dito. And from the looks of it, she is as prepared for this role as she can ever be, in spite of a personal crisis she is currently facing with her father's illness. As with her role of Millet in Magdusa Ka, in Luna Mystika she plays another protagonist to the lead characters, Luna and Celestina (both portrayed by Heart Evangelista). Dahil dito, hindi maiwasang ikumpara at pag-usapan na siya ang puedeng pumalit kay Katrina Halili bilang premiere kontrabida ng GMA. Ngunit hindi ito binibigyan ng substansya ni Iwa, in fact malaki ang paghanga niya kay Katrina. "Alam naman nating lahat na wala nang makakatalo kay Katrina. Ang gagawin ko lang is trabaho lang," ang sabi ni Iwa. Aminado din naman siya na medyo nahirapan siyang maging kotrabida kay Heart dahil simula noon pa ay ini-idolo niya ito. "Sabi naman ni Heart sa akin, 'Go! Saktan mo ako. Mas gusto ko yun, mas gusto kong ramdamin yung emosyon ng character ko.'" Being busy is what may be keeping Iwa from completely being grief-strcken by the condition of his father in Japan whom she just visited last week. At para din makaiwas sa sobrang pag-aalala sa kanyang ama. "Medyo hirap nga po siya ngayon and, ayun, tinaningan na po kasi siya eh," kuwento niya. Dagdag pa ni Iwa ay nagbilin na ang kanyang ama sa kanya nung hili silang nagkita. "Alagaan ko daw yung mga kapatid ko. Maging mabait daw akong anak sa mom ko at huwag na huwag ko daw siya kakalimutan. Masakit, dahil pagbibilinan ka," ang sabi ni Iwa. Furthermore, Iwa plans to visit her father again this December to spend more time with him. Masasabi natin na bukod sa kanyang concern, at puedeng dahil dito, alam nating doble ang pagsusumikap ni Iwa. And this may reflect on the quality of her work, giving us all the more reason to watch out for this young actress in the years to come. -Text by Erick Mataverde.
