It was a sad moment for Kapamilya viewers when singer-Host & actress Iya Villania bid farewell early last 2014 from ABSCBN and returned to her home network GMA 7. She transferred to ABSCBN 11 years ago and joined the roster of multi talented Video jocks in MYX Channel. She was also one of the mainstays in ASAP, the longest musical variety show in Asia. Undeniably, Iya Villania’s career has never been this rewarding. I am a fan. Up until now.
I started my admiration to her when I first noticed her bubbly side in Us Girls, a weekly lifestyle magazine show with Cheska Garcia and Angel Aquino. From now on I followed her stint and see her matured as a host. I was sad when she transferred again to another network but I know her talent was recognized worldwide and that there are so many shows waiting for her.
Last week, I was glad to see Iya Villania again. She was chosen to be anchor for 24 Oras’ showbiz Report. A segment called Chika Minute is where 24 Oras revealed latest news in showbiz. Watch this report from 24 ORAS.
24 Oras is GMA Network’s flagship newscast, anchored by Mike Enriquez, Mel Tiangco and Vicky Morales. Iya Villania can also be seen GMA 7 shows like Taste Buddies, Mundo ni Juan, Sunday All Stars and Ang Pinaka.
