Iza Calzado Replaces Regine Velasquez in 'I Heart You Pare!'

Due to unexpected pregnancy of the female lead star who is Ms. Regine Velasquez of the GMA-7 comedy series "I Heart You Pare", she will replace with no other than Ms. Iza Calzado!

Yup, starting this Monday, April 11, Iza Calzado takes the role of Tonette/Tonya! She will be the new leading lady of Dingdong Dantes who is playing the role of Kenneth.

Regine needs to pull out from the said TV series since her doctor advices her to take a rest. Regular taping of this TV series is very hectic which causes stress to the pregnant Regine.

Here is the official statement of GMA-7 regarding the replacement of Iza Calzado to Regine Velasquez' character in "I Heart You Pare". It reads:

"Nais pong ipaalam ng GMA Entertainment Television na ang role na Tonette o Tonya sa hit series na I Heart U Pare ay gagampanan na ni Ms. Iza Calzado simula ngayong Lunes, April 11.

“Pinayuhan ng kanyang doctor si Ms. Regine Velasquez na pansamantalang magpahinga nang husto dahil sa 'severe migraine attacks' niya na maaaring dala ng puyat at pagod sa taping.

“Pinasiyahan ng Network na ibigay kay Regine ang nararapat na pahinga para sa kanyang agarang paggaling.

“Puno ang tiwala ng Kapuso Network sa kakayahan ni Iza na ipagpatuloy at gampanan ang karakter na iiwanan ni Regine at lubos ang pasasalamat ng management sa buong-pusong pagtanggap niya rito.

“Iniimbitahan ang mga taga-subaybay ng I Heart U Pare na abangan ang masasayang eksena nina Iza at Dingdong Dantes sa mga susunod na episode.

“Ang I Heart U Pare ay isang orihinal na konsepto ng Kapuso Network at tuluy-tuloy na magbibigay-saya sa mga manonood gabi-gabi."

Well, do you love Iza Calzado to continue the role of Regine Velasquez as Tonette/Tonya in the said TV series?!

We may recall that Iza already portrayed gay or drag queen roles in the different TV series like in "Obra" and in "SRO Cinemaserye". So here in "I Heart You Pare", we may expect that Iza can play it more effectively! Good luck Iza! c",)
