She hinted that the finale episode of the GMA-7 daytime series will air during the first quarter of 2018.
After her bitchy role in this series, Ryza is expected to regain her dream to do her own film – this is via the movie Mr. & Mrs. cruz opposite JC Santos.
“Sa twelve years ko po ngayon lang ako nakagawa ng pelikula. May pressure for me kasi hindi ko alam kung paano ang mga process. Ngayon naman, natutunan ko na unti-unti.”
How much is the pressure?
“Malaki. Hindi ko alam kung paano siya i-handle. Kasi, yung Manananggal [sa Unit 23-B], indie siya. Ito kasi, mainstream, lahat makakapanood. So medyo kabado po talaga.”
Another pressure is their director who did the recent blockbuster hit “Kita Kita”
“Ganito pala ang feeling kapag gumagawa ka ng pelikula. Kumbaga, parang sa singer, isa siyang album. Isa siyang album para sa akin. Kasi everyday kang puyat. Halos buong araw kang nagta-trabaho. Kasi marami rin script, sunod-sunod. Ang movie, ten days, twelve days, tapos na siya.”
On TV, Ryza remains a kapuso.She also mentioned that “Ika-6 na Utos” will have its finale on March.
“Parang yun na yun. Sa story po kasi, unti-unti na po kasing naano si Georgia.”
For Ryza who portrays the role of Georgia, the soap had to end.
“Sa story po kasi, unti-unti na po kasing naano si Georgia. For me, it’s time. Kasi yung viewers kasi, masyado na akong naaapektuhan sa sinasabi ng viewers. Not naman about Georgia but about the show. Kasi, parang pagod na rin silang panoorin. Parang ang pangit naman na i-end namin yung show na ganun ang mga reviews. Habang naka-peak pa rin siya hanggang ngayon.”
Ryza admits she hasn’t signed her new contract for GMA.
However, she said she is now under Viva Artist Agency.
“Wala pa naman po silang sinasabi sa akin but I hope, I hope… pinagpi-pray ko po na sana, meron na pong next.”
Has she been offered by ABS-CBN?
“Meron po. Pero siyempre, sinasabi ko nga po, priority ko ang GMA. Kung may ibibigay po ang GMA for me, sila po yung priority ko.”
Talking about her movie “Mr. & Mrs Cruz… “Lahat tayo makaka-relate, hindi lang ako. Hindi lang naman ito para sa may lovelife. Puwede siya sa single, sa merong relasyon, married o mga kumplikadong relasyon. Lahat makaka-relate.”
What has she learned from this movie?
“Closure sa mga questions mo sa sarili mo. Na kaya ka nagsu-soul-searching, nahanap mo.”
Ryza will be doing some daring scenes with JC.

STILL UNDER the wraps, Liza Soberano’s latest “Darna” movie gets a lot of feedback from netizens.
In fact, in the latest film clip of the said film fans got more excited.
Visual effects company Mothership, Inc. recently uploaded a video compilation of its previous projects, including a breakdown of visual effects in movies such as Kung Fu Divas (2013) and Kubot: The Aswang Chronicles 2 (2014). A breakdown of Darna’s teaser shown during the 2015 Metro Manila Film Festival was also included.
It showed Darna running to save lives after a volcanic eruption.
The teaser did not show the face of Darna and instead, focused on the details of her costume.
So far, no updates about Darna have been made public, including the design of the costume.
It may be recalled that at the time of the teaser’s release, the actress who would portray Darna was not yet picked.
Back then, fans were still hoping that Angel Locsin—who portrayed Darna in GMA-7’s TV adaptation in 2005—will reprise the role.
However, she had to drop out of the cast due to health reasons.
In May 2017, it was announced that Liza Soberano was chosen to portray the Pinay superheroine in Star Cinema and Reality Entertainment’s adaptation.
With regards to the costume, Darna director Erik Matti said in a previous interview that the creation of the new costume is “more than the aesthetic, more than the cosmetic, more than just trying to be sexy.”
