Iza Calzado explains why she’s open to surrogacy

On Aquino and Abunda Tonight, Iza Calzado opened up about her thoughts on surrogacy. She admitted that she’s contemplating it. The Etiquette for Mistresses star explained, “right now hindi ko pa makita ang sarili ko na nagbubuntis. Masyado kong pinaghirapan ang katawan ko ngayon. It’s a possibility. I can’t see myself getting pregnant in the next three to five years.”

She stresses that vanity is not the reason why she’s open to surrogacy. Iza has, in fact, struggled with obesity in the past. She said even maintaining her body weight and shape is a struggle in itself.

However, Iza might consider getting pregnant before she hits 40. “There’s a part of me that wants to experience the process of giving birth, of bring pregnant. Iba ang attachment mo sa bata kapag ikaw nagdala sa bata ng nine months, inere mo, inilabas mo sa mundong ito. There must be an emotional attachment that is priceless and that cannot be understood…”

Iza is also pro-divorce. She explained that her parents went through annulment and she said that they suffered more than they should have because it was an arduous process getting annulled. She said their suffering would have been lesser if there was divorce in the country.
