Ritz happy for Eula
TV5’s homegrown talent Ritz Azul is happy for “Star Factor” winner Eula Caballero, who topbills the mini-series “Nandito Ako” together with American Idol’s David Archuleta.
“Unang-una, gusto ko siyang i-congrats kasi naging successful yung una niyang mini-serye with Ms. Nora Aunor, ‘yung sa “Ngalan ng Ina.” Then ngayon, ‘yung “Nandito Ako,” partner pa niya si David, best of luck kay Eula,” Ritz said in an interview at Talent Agents’ Organization’s (TAO) Party “Skin: The TAO Models’ Party” on Tuesday, February 7 at Genting Club, Resorts World Manila.
Ritz denies reports that she and Eula are feuding. In fact, Ritz hopes she can work with Eula in a TV show someday.
“Sana magkatrabaho tayo in one show. Wala naman sa akin (problema),” Ritz addressed Eula.
While Ritz thinks working with David is a big opportunity, she doesn’t regret not being part of “Nandito Ako” as she is happy in her recent TV drama “Glamorosa,” where she starred with Lorna Tolentino, Alice Dixon and Zoren Legaspi.
“Siyempre, iisipin ko na kapag makatrabaho ko si David Archuleta, napakalaking opportunity ‘nun para sa akin. Masaya naman po ako sa “Glamorosa.” Siyempre yung cast ng “Nandito Ako,” magaganda rin. Kanyan-kanyang show naman ‘yan eh,” Ritz added.
New show
She said that TV5 is cooking up a new show for her. But she has yet to get the details of the show.
“Sa ngayon, magkikita pa lang kami ni Sir Percy (Intalan, TV5 Creative and Entertainment head) then doon ko pa lang malalaman kung may upcoming show. Pero sabi nila, may niluluto na raw po silang show for me. Nagta-trust naman po ako sa kanila na hindi nila ako pababayaan,” Ritz said.
She dreams of working with Susan Roces, Nora Aunor and Sharon Cuneta someday. Ritz also plans to take martial arts lessons in preparation for action drama roles she wants to play someday.
“Gusto ko ng may pagka-action naman. Kaya nagbabalak ako na mag martial arts lessons habang bakasyon ako,” she said.
On being 'liked' by a politician
Meanwhile, Ritz said that she also likes to meet Sen. Manny Villar’s son, Rep. Mark Villar. A report said that Mark liked watching her in the TV drama “Mga Nagbabagang Bulaklak.”
“Sinasabi lang ni Tita Cristy (Femin) na gusto daw ako ma-meet ni Mark, siyempre gusto ko rin siya makilala,” Ritz revealed.
Told that Mark’s sister, Camille Villar, is in favor of her, Ritz reacted, “Wow! Siyempre flattered ako. Masaya ako at siyempre naka-feel rin ako ng hiya kase mataas ang tingin ko sa kanila. So, para sa akin na natutuwa siya sa akin, flattered talaga.”
She admitted that she also searched for Mark on the Internet and asked her relatives about him.
“Tingin ko naman mabait siya. Sana nga ma-meet ko siya at makilala pa lalo,” Ritz said.
