Iza Calzado: I salute housewives

MANILA, Philippines – Iza Calzado has expressed her admiration to housewives.

In her recent movie “Etiquette for Mistresses,” she portrayed the role of a career-driven woman.

“Women who chose to become housewives, they are not less of a woman who decide to be career-driven,” she said in an interview on Tuesday.

“I admire women who choose to become housewives and who are selfless enough to give up their careers to start a family or put their careers on hold if not give it up,” she added.

The Kapamilya actress admits that as of the moment, she cannot see herself giving up her career.

“I’m not selfless enough yet,” she explained. “I’m too selfish and career-driven. But one day I would love to be a wife, a housewife.”

After the success of her movie with Kris Aquino, Claudine Barretto, Kim Chiu and Cheena Crab, Iza will be seen on two more movies this year.

“I’ll do an indie film with Paolo Herras as director for ‘Buhay Habangbuhay,’” she said. “I just finished doing a cameo for ‘Hunted Mansion’ which is part of the film festival, and I might be doing something with Quark Henares.”

As for TV series, she’s still to meet with ABS-CBN executives to discuss an upcoming project on the first quarter of 2016.
