Actress Glaiza de Castro is one talented cookie; no wonder Pony Shoes loves her!
Manila,
Philippines) “I think because it's relevant to who I really am:
playful, flamboyant, optimistic, passionate, zealous,” confesses
Glaiza de Castro, one of the country's most versatile actresses, as
to why she thinks Pony Shoes handpicked her to be one of their brand
ambassadors.
Best
known for being an athletic brand worldwide, PONY expands its
reach and now, more than ever, becomes identified for its flare and
some truly eye-catching streetwise footwear. With the brand’s
thrust in giving merit to uniqueness and individualism, it has
supported local musicians like Bamboo, Kitchie Nadal
and Barbie Almalbis, to name a few—a line-up to which Glaiza
is obviously a fitting addition.
It was
by chance that Glaiza entered into the world of showbiz. She was
discovered by a talent agent while watching a shooting for a film.
She has done a number of teleseryes and movies, one of which
was Rakenrol, a movie directed by Quark Henares and co-written
with Diego Castillo about the misadventures of two friends who live
and breathe the underground music scene. “I didn't feel like I was
working because we had so much fun. It's always been my dream to work
with Quark and Diego because I'm a fan of their work,” admits
Glaiza when asked about her experience while working on the movie.
The independent film is close to her heart since music is one of her
passions. “I am more into singing than acting. If I wasn't in
showbiz I'd probably be doing music production,” says Glaiza.
Speaking
of singing, she is currently fronting two bands, Galura and
Kagawasan. She looks up to local bands like Up Dharma Down,
Drip, Radioactive Sago Project, and would love to collaborate with
musicians like Ely Buendia, Rico Blanco, and Dong Abay. She dabbles
in both worlds—showbiz and music—like it's just a walk in the
park given that they both feed her soul. Glaiza is currently busy
with her drama series in GMA called “Temptation Of Wife” as well
her regular stint on Party Pilipinas every Sunday.
“The
first time that you'd get to talk to Glaiza, you can already feel
that there's something unique about her, and that she's oozing with
passion and drive,” says Pony’s Marketing Manager Donna Santos.
“There's depth, substance and what we like most about her is the
spunk that she has that's perfect for Pony,” admits Donna.
Pony
is also celebrating its 40th anniversary and, with that,
Santos mentions exciting collaborations from New York based
accessories designers Dee & Ricky, and photographer Ricky Powell.
“We will also be re-issuing the iconic styles of Pony starting from
1972 to 1980s, where Pony was at its height,” she reveals.
