Iza Calzado and John Prats Set to Transfer to GMA-7
Is John Prats ready to become a Kapuso star? A decision he thought would boost his showbiz career.
On Friday, November 14, John's manager Arnold Vegafria was spotted having a meeting with GMA Network executives prompting rumors that he is planning to switch network. Among Arnold pool of talents include Kapuso stars Iya Villania and Martin del Rosario who both left ABS-CBN in favor of GMA-7, Carla Abellana, Jessa Zaragoza, and John's sister Camille Prats.
John, a homegrown Kapamilya star, started with the network at an early age of 8 and has been in the network since then. He is currently seen in late night gag show "Banana Nite" and Sunday noontime variety show "ASAP 19".
Meanwhile, Iza Calzado, a former Kapuso actress turned Kapamilya is also eying a possibility of moving back to GMA Network after her contract expires in 2015.
Iza's latest TV project is Piolo Pascual starrer "Hawak Kamay" which is set to air its finale episode next Friday. In the series, Iza plays support to child stars Zaijan Jaranilla, Andrea Brillantes, Xyriel Manabat and Yesha Camile - a role that she doesn't think fitting to her stature as an actress not challenging enough to display her acting prowess.

Why EDSA Woolworth Put Social Media on Fire
Ever wonder why "EDSA Woolworth" is creating a lot of buzz among Filipinos everywhere? How come it dominates Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube for days already?
"We're very excited. The general mood and feedback we're getting from people is very positive. Good vibes, as they say! And that's what we want to impart with this film. We want people who watch to leave the theatres feeling good and appreciating their families more. That's our Thanksgiving message. We look forward to seeing moviegoers in theatres starting November15!" said director John-D Lazatin, also ABS-CBN Global's Head of Theatricals.
What is EDSA Woolworth? Who is EDSA Woolworth?
“EDSA Woolworth is a film that looks into a blended Filipino and American family whose members, at first glance, have everything clashing – personalities, lifestyles, life goals, name it. If you were to match a whole family, this one’s a mismatch. But the journey each member takes to look beyond what doesn’t work and focus on what does – within themselves and with others - is a story that will resonate among many families nowadays. In the end, it's all about love and values,” said Lazatin.
Lazatin continues: “EDSA Woolworth as a character is Pokwang. In her name alone, you can see already two cultures, two races, put together. It stands out; so do Pokwang’s character and her family in this film, in more ways and reasons than one.”
Lazatin explains why he teamed up with Pokwang anew for the movie. “Pokwang is very relatable,” he said. “Whether she plays bizarre comedic roles or straight up drama, viewers identify or empathize with her characters. She brings passion and authenticity into her roles which connect easily with viewers.”
With the always brilliant funny girl, Pokwang, in the title role, expect generous moments of laugh-till-it-hurts hilarity in EDSA Woolworth. Expect some daring, too, especially with her character’s relationship with charming Chad Bauer, played by American actor Lee O’Brian. Their easy chemistry ignites onscreen and brings the audience into their private space, whether to swoon, laugh or cry.
The film assembled the dignified Stephen Spohn as Papa Frank Woolworth, the talented Ricci Chan as Boni Woolworth, and Prince Saruhan as the angst-ridden twentysomething Paco Woolworth. Enriching (or complicating) their lives are popular “Adobo Nation” co-host Lee Robin Salazar as Patrick and Princess Ryan as Shayne.
Lazatin tapped writer-director Noel Nuguit for EDSA Woolworth’s story and screenplay, and relied anew on “A Mother’s Story’s” FAMAS-nominated cinematographer Shayne O. Sarte and editor Mitos R. Briones. The film’s photography captured the beauty of the San Francisco Bay Area which many viewers will be able to identify.
The music will linger in the viewers’ minds. Original songs sung by artists are on www.EDSAWoolworth.com home page: “Dressing Room” by Summer Breeze, “Undone” by Manny Garcia, “Dancing All Night Long” by Michelle Martinez are available on iTunes, and “Felt Like Love” by Ricci is a free download from the film website.
“EDSA Woolworth is the perfect Thanksgiving holiday entree for the family,” said ABS-CBN North America Managing Director Olivia De Jesus. “It doesn’t overwhelm with too much, but it bursts with interesting flavors that are tasty and entertaining, sometimes surprising, and guaranteed to leave the family talking about it.”
