Iza diagnosed with Bipolar disorder in "MMK"

CEBU, Philippines - Award-winning actress Iza Calzado will once again star in a heavy drama episode of “Maalaala Mo Kaya” Saturday.

In her second “MMK” since she transferred to ABS-CBN, Iza will portray the character of Rosalyn, a doctor who suffered from major depression due to a series of unfortunate incidents in her life, particularly because of her philandering father, Gilbert (Bembol Roco). At first, she was diagnosed to have paranoia and major depression, but later on Rosalyn was brought to a psychiatrist who declared that she was ill with bipolar disorder.

Aside from Iza and Bembol, the upcoming “MMK” episode will feature Louella De Cordova, Cheska Iñigo, Pia Romero, Phytos Kyriacou, Ismael Clavero, Edward Mendez, Kalila Aguilos, Lowell Conales, Kyline Alcantara, and Sofia Millares. It was researched by Alexandra Mae Martin, written by Maan Dimaculangan-Fampulme, and directed by Mae Czarina Cruz.

Don’t miss Iza’s brave portrayal in “Maalaala Mo Kaya” (MMK) this Saturday, after “Wansapanataym” on ABS-CBN. (FREEMAN)
