Iza Calzado Can Relate to Her Bipolar Role in MMK

Highly acclaimed actress Iza Calzado recently confessed that her second “Maalaala Mo Kaya” episode, which is about a doctor who was diagnosed with major depression, is something she can personally relate to.

Aside from the fact that the story will tackle a father-daughter relationship, Iza immediately accepted the challenging role of a severely depressed woman because her mother went through it. “This ‘MMK’ is significant to me because it’s a very personal story,” she shared. “My mom had depression. Actually, she was bipolar. That’s why I empathized with the story.”

When asked if she ever felt depressed in her life, the Kapamilya primetime star quickly answered, “Trials are part of life. I’ve been so sad, yes. But I’ve never experienced major depression and I don’t want to reach that point.”

Iza added that she liked the life story of her character Rosalyn because she was able to overcome the severity of her disease. “I’m glad that this ‘MMK’ is a tale of triumph. She chose to fight and conquer something that would usually bring a person down. The ending is really beautiful,” she said.
