Glaiza de Castro Galura (born January 21, 1988 in Valenzuela City, Philippines), better known as Glaiza de Castro, is a Filipina actress and singer known primarily for her work on television. She began her career in GMA Network in 2001 before transferring to its rival network, ABS-CBN just a few months later. While with ABS-CBN, She played mostly minor and supporting roles before returning to GMA in 2006.

During the first two years of her second stint with GMA, she continued to play supporting roles in landmark series such as Boys Nxt Door and Asian Treasures before finally landing a lead role in the television remake of Kaputol ng Isang Awit, a role she has since considered her breakout role. Recently, she has become known for her villainous roles in both the remakes of Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin and Stairway To Heaven. In addition to her television appearances, she has also acted in a number of mainstream and independent films, including Sukob, Batanes: Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan, and Still Life.

As a singer, de Castro has so far released two albums: Magbalik Ka, released in 2001, and the self-titled Glaiza, released in 2006.

[edit] Early life

Glaiza de Castro was born on January 21, 1988, in Valenzuela City, a city in the northern part of the Philippines' National Capital Region, to a family of born-again Baptists[1]. Her parents are both musicians who have performed in countries all across Asia. Two of her relatives are also in show business: she is the niece of popular action star Dan Alvaro and the sister of actor Alcris Galura. As a child, de Castro sang at her local ministry as a member of a children's choir; later on, in high school, she formed a band with her friends, where she acted as both songwriter and vocalist. [2]

[edit] Career in television (2001-present)

[edit] Early work

de Castro began her career in show business between the ages of 12 to 13 by appearing as an extra in her older sister's place in what she recalled to be a film starring Eddie Garcia. Her initial attempt to break into the industry was difficult, as she recalled having to "meet with a lot of talent scouts whom turned out to have been only after [her] money." It was only after several appearances on the late-night talk show, Walang Tulugan with the Master Showman, a role in the 2001 movie Cool Dudes, and acting training under acclaimed actress Gina Alajar[2], that her career began in earnest. [3]

[edit] First run with GMA and run with ABS-CBN (2002-2006)

de Castro began her career with GMA-7 playing a minor role in the soap opera Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin. However, after only a few months with the company, she transferred to rival network ABS-CBN and became a contracted artist of Star Magic, the company's training ground for young talent.

During her time in ABS-CBN, she continued to play both supporting and minor roles, two of the most prominent being the role of Halley in the teen-oriented show, Berks and the role of Pinky in the teen-horror series, Spirits. Her most significant role during her run with the network was on an episode on the long-running show Maalaala Mo Kaya titled "Bahay-Bahayan", for which she was nominated for a Golden Screen Award in the Best Supporting Actress category.[2]

[edit] Departure from ABS-CBN, second run with GMA, and breakout (2006-present)

After four years with ABS-CBN, de Castro returned to its rival GMA Network in 2006. One of her first roles back was as Honey on the fantasy-adventure series, Fantastikids, where she starred alongside late StarStruck alumni Marky Cielo, Jackie Rice and Ryza Cenon, as well as former child star Paolo Contis and former beauty queen Melanie Marquez. The reception to the show was mostly warm; journalist Paul Daza of The Philippine Daily Inquirer compared it favorably to its counterpart on ABS-CBN (fantasy-drama anthology Komiks), praising the former show's originality and visual effects. Daza also noted how Fantastikids featured mostly neophyte actors in the principal cast in contrast to Komiks' more seasoned cast (which included, among others, award-winners Judy Ann Santos and Alma Moreno) and commented that, based on ratings, "it would seem like the new [GMA-7] stars are outshining the more established [ABS-CBN] performers."[4] At this time, she also performed regularly on GMA's regular Sunday variety show, SOP Rules.

In 2007, de Castro land arguably her two most significant supporting roles during this point in her career. The first role was in the afternoon show Boys Nxt Door, then GMA's latest attempt at the teen drama. Here she worked once again with Marky Cielo, as well as StarStruck alumni Stef Prescott, Aljur Abrenica, Kris Bernal, Rich Asuncion and veteran actors Janice de Belen and Benjie Paras. The series, about a boy who is forced to co-exist with the illegitimate children of his stepfather, saw de Castro playing Sari, best friend to Cielo's character.[5] The series has since found international success; it has been dubbed in Malay on the Malaysian channel 8TV and became the first Filipino drama to air in South Korea, via KBS2.[6] The second role was in the 2007 action-adventure series, Asian Treasures, GMA-7's most expensive show to date. [7] Working alongside veteran actor Robin Padilla (who played Elias) and top then-GMA talent Angel Locsin (who played Gabriela), de Castro played Clara, Elias' intelligent younger sister who possessed an extensive background in both history and geography; as Clara, she would use her knowledge of both fields to help the main characters find the titular treasures. [8]

In 2008, she achieved further recognition when she appeared in the television adaptation of the 1991 film, Kaputol ng Isang Awit; she was given the role after veteran actress Jolina Magdangal turned down the role in favor of a hosting job on Pinoy Idol . [8] In the series, de Castro played Sarah Monteza (played by actress Sharon Cuneta in the film), a poor girl with a good voice but low self-esteem.[9]. The role marked a significant turning point in de Castro's career, as it helped her make the transition from teeny-bopper actress to mature actress; in late 2007, she expressed her interest in landing more challenging roles. [10] Furthermore, she would go on to say that her role was her "biggest break" thus far.[11][12] Her performance on the show impressed prominent film producer Lily Monteverde, who then signed de Castro to an eight-picture contract with media juggernaut Regal Entertainment.[13]

After another supporting role in the television adaptation of comic-book writer Carlo J. Caparas' graphic novel Gagambino, de Castro once again landed a main role on another television adaptation of a Filipino film, Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin opposite Patrick Garcia, Maxene Magalona, Jackie Rice and JC Tiuseco. In the series she played the primary antagonist, Gladys Andrada (a role originated by co-star Jackie Lou Blanco), the only child of Don Gilbert and Dona Clara Andrada who is jealous of her adoptive sisters and exhibits this jealousy through both physical and mental abuse. Like her role in Kaputol ng Isang Awit, her portrayal of Gladys Andrada was also well-received; columnist Jason John Lim commented that while she knew she was breaking out of her comfort zone, "What she didn't know that she would also begin breaking the expectations of everybody." [14]

Right after Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin, she landed another role as the primary antagonist in the Philippine remake of the widely-popular Korean television drama, Stairway to Heaven, alongside top actor Dingdong Dantes and rising stars Rhian Ramos and TJ Trinidad. She portrays Eunice Manansala (serving as the counterpart for Han Yoori, played by actress Kim Tae-hee), the envious stepsister of Jodi Reyes (played by Ramos). To prepare for the role, de Castro watched the original series in order to attempt to get an idea of who her character was as a person.[14] de Castro also commented on the relative complexity of her character in this series compared to her character in Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin: "Unlike my previous role, you don’t know what is going on inside the mind of Eunice. What’s going inside her head is really devious. She is subtle in her approach and very scheming... Despite being evil, she still has a heart and there’s a reason she became a bad person. If she is stepping down on people, she is also being stepped on by other people. She also has to fulfill her needs and wants and she will do everything for the person she loves."[15] So far, her portrayal has also been well-received by critics; Jerry Donato of The Philippine Star, in particular, has gone so far to say that "So far, Glaiza has given her Korean counterpart a run for her money." [16]

[edit] Career in film (2001-present)

de Castro began her career in film in 2001 with a role in the teen-oriented movie Cool Dudes. For the next four years, she would only appear in films sporadically, with a part in the horror Singsing ni Lola in 2002, and another role in the film Miss Pinoy in 2005. By 2006, she began to appear in films more frequently, with parts in the horror films Sukob (top-billed by ABS-CBN mainstays Kris Aquino and Claudine Barretto) and "White Lady" (starring, among others, Angelica Panganiban and Pauleen Luna), as well as the Manny Pacquiao biopic, Pacquiao: The Movie (starring Jericho Rosales and Bea Alonzo). Her most prominent film role in 2006 was as a minor antagonist in the film adaptation of Carlo Vergara's cult graphic novel, Zsazsa Zaturnnah; the film was an entry to that year's Metro Manila Film Festival.[8]

2007 saw her featured prominently in the independent film Still Life, a film about an artist stricken with a terminal illness who has traveled to an isolated island to paint his last work. In the film, de Castro plays Emma, a woman who relates her past to the main character. Her portrayal of Emma was noted by Katrina Katski Flores of Business Mirror as "one reason the short life on that island becomes very real." Flores went on to note that de Castro's character was "vulnerable but not whiny. Even in tears she conjures an image of a woman whose only way out of life is finding life in anything."[17]The film was a finalist at that year's Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival, and de Castro received her second Golden Screen Awards nomination, this time in the Best Actress category.[2][18] She also played a supporting role that year in Batanes: Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan, alongside top GMA actress Iza Calzado, Taiwanese singer-actor Ken Chu, and Marky Cielo. The following year, 2008, she started shooting another independent film, Rakenrol. The film is based on director Quark Henares' views on growing up in the local rock scene, as well as his own personal experiences in starting a band. de Castro described the film, which was still in production as of March 2009,[1]as "a lighter version of Almost Famous and "a fun, feel-good movie". [16]

In 2009, de Castro appeared in five films. She replaced former Starstruck contestant and fellow GMA star Jewel Mische in the independent political thriller Bente when the latter refused to film a sex scene she considered "beyond [her] moral standards".[8] The film, directed by Mel Chionglo and starring actor-senator Jinggoy Estrada, veteran actor Richard Gomez, former Pinoy Big Brother contestant Aldred Gatchalian and Iza Calzado, sees de Castro playing girlfriend to Gatchalian's character.[19] The film was released in June of 2009, where it faced stiff competition from Hollywood film Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which was scheduled to premiere in the same week.[20] The film received mixed reviews, with Rito Asilo of the Philippine Daily Inquirer citing its thematic substance and Gomez's and Calzado's "insightful performances", while also going on to blast the film's "disparate stories", "incohesive feel and style", and sudden ending "in a convenient anticlimax".[21]

The second film was the horror movie Tarot, released on August 26. The film, about a girl who is able to predict the future through the use of tarot cards, was directed by Jun Lana and was top-billed by Marian Rivera and Dennis Trillo.[22]

A third film, Ang Manghuhula, was released commercially in September (it had been shown at the Cinemanila International Film Festival the previous year).[23] The film was directed by Paolo Herras and saw de Castro playing the daughter of Messina (played by Eula Valdez), a seer. The production was received warmly, with Noelani Torre of the Philippine Daily Inquirer noting its "fascinating subject matter", "colorful cast" and "visual richness and clarity".[24] Crispina Martinez-Belen of the Manila Bulletin also commented that the film "blends artistic integrity and mass commercial appeal."[25]

The fourth film de Castro starred in that year was the independent film Astig alongside Dennis Trillo, Sid Lucero, Edgar Allan Guzman, and Arnold Reyes. The film, released in July of that year and also directed by Trillo, about four young men struggling to survive the harshness and squalor of Manila, saw de Castro playing a teenager afflicted with a sexually transmitted disease. [13] The film was a critical and financial success, topping the box office in that year's Cinemalaya Film Festival, with a profit of P137,890.00.[26] Darwin Chiong of GMANews.tv called the film's cinematography "remarkable" and praised the cast as a whole, saying, "The movie gathers an ensemble of actors that deliver in the acting department, even those in supporting roles like Glaiza de Castro and Malou Crisologo."[27]

She is set to star in the sixth film under the Mano Po banner, subtitled A Mother's Love. The film, which was shot partially in Beijing, is directed by Joel Lamangan and stars, among others, Sharon Cuneta, Dennis Trillo, Zsa Zsa Padilla, Heart Evangelista, Boots Anson Roa, JC de Vera, Zoren Legaspi and Kris Aquino. It is scheduled to premiere on the 25th of December and is an entry to the annual Metro Manila Film Festival.[28]

[edit] Career in music

de Castro has so far released two albums. The first one, titled Magbalik Ka, was released under XAX Music Entertainment, in 2001, when she was thirteen. Five years later, she released a second album, the self-entitled Glaiza, this time released under Dyna Records. The latter album, described by de Castro herself as "more defined" compared to her first album, comprises pop and R&B songs, and contains mostly original content except for two songs: a Tagalog version of Joey Albert's song "How Can I Make You See" (titled "Paano" in the album), and an English version of Dingdong Avanzado's "Basta't Kasama Kita". When asked why it took her half a decade to release a second album, de Castro explained that after the first album was completed, she did not renew her contract with the record company and instead focused on her television career.[29]

In June of 2008, Glaiza was officially launched, two years after the album was released.[30]

[edit] Personal life

According to her profile on the official GMA network website, de Castro enjoys swimming, reading, watching films, singing, songwriting and net surfing. She lists Dennis Trillo, Christopher De Leon, Ronnie Lazaro, Pen Medina, Gina Alajar, Gina Pareno, Sharon Cuneta, and Iza Calzado as her favorite Filipino actors. Among her favorite Hollywood actors are Johnny Depp, Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst, Julie Delpy and Gael Garcia Bernal. Her favorite films include 24 Hour Party People, City of God, Trainspotting, Bad Education, Madrasta and Taxi Driver. [31] Her vital statistics have also been reported to be 34-24-36, and she attributes her slender figure to playing badminton.[32]

de Castro is close friends with her Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin co-stars Maxene Magalona, JC Tiuseco, Patrick Garcia and Rich Asuncion.[33] She also maintained a close friendship with consistent on-screen partner Marky Cielo for a significant part of the latter's career until his death in 2008. In the wake of her friend's death, de Castro recounted an exchange she had the day before Cielo's death; she told Cielo about a dream she had about herself teasing him and fellow actress Rich Asuncion while the latter two were together in a car. She recounted, in Taglish, "Then Marky texted back that he had heard about so many people dreaming about him. He said, 'How come so many people are dreaming about me? Am I about to die?' I only remember what he said right now; that's why I'm so freaked out!"[34]

In 2009, rumors surfaced of a relationship between de Castro and former co-star Patrick Garcia. de Castro denied the rumors, declaring, "... We don't have any label on our friendship. All I know is that [Garcia] is more open to me now. But he is not courting me." [15] Earlier in April of that year, Garcia denied being in a relationship with de Castro or anyone else. Although he did express interest in de Castro, and did in fact give her a white rose on Valentine's Day, he declared, in Filipino, that he thought "there were parts of [his] life that [he] had to fix before [he] fell in love with someone else." [35] She has never had a boyfriend before, and as of November 2009 remains single,[1] opting instead to focus on her career. On this she commented, in Taglish, "I've got a lot to prioritize. Not because of anything else, but many people know that [my] family isn't rich, and I want to help them."[36]

Because of her striking resemblance to Asian Treasures co-star Angel Locsin, de Castro had, in the early part of her career, had fans approach her mistaking her for Locsin on many occasions. When asked in an interview how she would deal with the mistake, she replied, in Taglish, "I wouldn't really get intimidated. In the past, almost everyone I'd come across would say, 'Angel, hi!' I wouldn't know whether to ignore it or pretend to be Angel because sometimes they'd say, 'Hi, Angel.'" de Castro then expressed hope that her role in Asian Treasures would help people make the distinction, adding, again in Taglish, "Asian Treasures is really a big chance for people to realize that I am not Angel. That I have a different personality, that I am Glaiza." [8]

Despite gaining wider recognition for her roles as a villain in Kung Aagawin Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin and Stairway to Heaven, de Castro has reportedly had qualms about portraying a villain again in future projects. Of this, she commented, "I don't want to be typecast" as an antagonist forever because it's difficult to get rid of that sort of image." However, she has expressed preference for antagonist roles over "sexy" roles.[37]Although she had, in the past, considered posing for magazines such as FHM "for instant fame and fortune", she eventually decided against it and opted to hone her craft as a serious actress, saying, “I just want to start on the right foot by focusing more on acting than diverting my attention to other interests. I want to become an actress and to show what I can do.” She has also expressed interest in playing "out-of-the-box and extreme roles", in the vein of Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta and Charlize Theron in Monster. [16] In 2008, she spoke of her preference for independent film, commenting in Taglish, "As for me, I feel fulfilled in indie films. I'm given roles in indie projects that are heavier compared to the mainstream. And I'm rarely offered roles in mainstream [films] anyway."[38]
