Glaiza’s new venture
Glaiza de Castro is now the
official endorser of Symply G Hair
and Skin Care brand. No less
than the company’s president,
Glenn Sy (brother of Dr. Gary
Sy) officially welcomed her at her
launch.
“Saktong-sakto nga kasi G
talaga ako as Glaiza and my real
family name is Galura,” she says.
After doing “Contessa,”
Glaiza is now a special guest in
“Sahaya” as the teacher of Bianca
Umali, who plays the title role. On
the big screen, after winning a best
actress award for “Liway,” she just
finished two new movies. First is a
science-fiction thriller, “Midnight,”
with Jasmine Curtis Smith, Bing
Pimentel and Anthony Falcon,
directed by Dodo Dayao. She’s
also in the drama, “My Letters to
Happy,” a film about mental illness
directed by Pertee Brinias. It also
stars TJ Trinidad and introduces
volleyball player Alyssa Valdez.
How about a new teleserye?
“Wala pa. At baka hindi ko
na rin magawa kasi I am leaving
in July to study music production
in London for three months.
Nagpaalam na ako sa GMA. I
want to expand my skills as you
know how much I love music.”
And it just so happens that
her boyfriend named David Rainey
also lives there. “Yes, also his two
sisters, but their parents stay in
Ireland.”
How long have they been
on?
“We’ve known each other for
over a year but we’ve been officially
on since September lang.”
How did they meet?
“We met on Siargao Island.
We were both on vacation
there and we met because we
both loved music. May musical
connection agad. Maganda ang
taste niya in music. He didn’t
know I’m in showbiz but the
people there told him, artista ‘yan.
Pagbalik ng Manila, he initiated
communicating with me and even
said, I’d like to meet your parents.
Ako rin, he introduced me to his
family when I went to England.
Masaya silang kasama, kung anu-
anong ibinibigay sa’kin, although
kung minsan, nagno-nosebleed
ako dahil sa British accent sila.”
What does she like in him?
“Siempre, mahirap ang
situation namin, kasi LDR kami
(long-distance relationship). Seven
hours ang difference. Gumigising
ako, about to sleep naman siya.
But he really makes an effort to
communicate with me. He even
writes letters and sends me cute
stuff. Parang high school lang
ang peg, kaya nakakakilig. Ako
naman, when he’s here, I show
him the kind of life I have. He has
seen me perform in gigs amd how
I act in the movie ‘Liway.’ Sobrang
bait niya, parang too good to be
true kasi very understanding lalo
na pag may topak ako when I’m
stressed at ayokong makipag-
relate sa kanya. I told him if ever,
hindi ko puedeng iwanan ang
career ko rito and he said siya
ang mag-a-adjust for me.” (M.
