Ryza still a Survivor
After bagging the "StarStruck Batch 2 Ultimate Female Survivor" title, Ryza Cenon has since been busy juggling her showbiz commitments, dealing with intrigues left and right and catching up with her private time when the spotlights are out.This young survivor's hard work certainly paid-off when she was chosen as "Best New Artist of the Year" by Star Awards for her role in Lovestruck. "Natuwa ako kasi hindi ko siya alam. Sa almost one year na paghihirap ko, merong kinalabasan. Masaya ako nun." When asked whether she wants to focus on comedy or drama, she's quick to answer that she plans to become a versatile actress. "Sa bida, madaling mag-paawa. Sa kontrabida, mahirap sumigaw, mahirap tumawa. Kaya gusto ko yung ganung mga roles na challenging. "
Now a year old in the showbiz industry, Ryza is currently a main stay of Ay! Robot in QTV Channel 11. She plays the eldest daughter of Ogie Alcasid (Douglas) and admits that in her role as Aiza, comedy is quite a challenge for this 18 year old. "Mahirap magpatawa ng tao. Di mo alam kung corny. Dinadaan ko sa pagdeliver ng lines, sa facial _expression." To make her acting more effective, she consults co-stars Ogie and Gabe Mercado as they are the known experts in delivering comic relief. Ryza is also thankful that the acting workshop greatly helped her before plunging into this role and that it also paved the way for her to bond with other cast members of the show.
In her line of work, Ryza puts a high regard on professionalism and respect for her co-workers - from crew members all the way to producers, directors and co-actors. Though this time, she is wary of the people she trusts. "Nung nagtiwala ako noon, sila ang bumaligtad sa akin. Mahirap. Mahirap dito sa showbiz."
Ryza is aware of the fact that her work can generously support her chosen lifestyle. "Sa trabaho ko, ganito na kinikita ko bihira lang mangyari ito, na lahat ng gusto ko mabibili ko. Natutulungan ko na yung lola ko, kapatid ko." Aside from the monetary rewards, she herself is also starstruck by fellow actors she meets. "Yung mga nakikilala mo, dati napapanood mo lang. Marami akong nalalaman, marami akong natututunan. "
However, Ryza is aware that upon entering showbizness, she will be forced to sacrifice her much-guarded privacy. "Siyempre mga intriga. Kung paano ko na-survive yun. May mga taong plastic, akala mo kaibigan mo, pulitika din." The most recent of which are the unpleasant labeling tagged under her name. "Natawag na akong ahas, mang-aagaw, third party. Tumahimik lang ako. Deadma na lang, nagdasal na lang ako. May asawa't anak na daw ako, ganun."
She was previously associated in the Mark and Jen love team, but this time however, fingers are pointed at her for being the third wheel in the Cogie Domingo-Lovi Poe tandem. "Di naman kami close ni Cogie. Nagte-text as a friend lang binigyan nila ng malisya. First time ko silang makatrabaho at kaibigan ko naman silang dalawa."
During Startalk's September 9 episode, Ryza conveyed a statement regarding her father's reaction on these nasty rumors - her being the third party. "Hindi ako naiiyak dahil doon sa issue. Deadma dahil kilala ko ang sarili ko pero yung maapektuhan yun pamilya ko. Yung daddy ko, nasasaktan sila, iba náng usapan yun, tama na tigilan na nila ako tungkol dun. Tigilan na nila yung pag-quote sa 'kin na ahas ako, mang-aagaw. Hindi niyo po ako kilala."
Despite all these controversies, Ryza is still grateful that there are those who continue to support her. When she's not busy with her tapings and TV guestings, Ryza is a self-confessed home body who would rather catch up with her sleep, watch DVDs and surf the internet. She also knows the importance of education and when her schedule permits, she plans to continue her course in programming.
Ryza is also starring in Love to Love's Jass Got Lucky. She is also a regular of SOP Gigsters. Ryza is the endorser of Maxi Peel, Sunsilk, No Curfew watches and Bon Jour apparel.
