After Katrina Halili, Ehra Madrigal, Bangs Garcia and Nina Jose, the next Calendar Girl of Tanduay Rhum is none other than Iya Villania.

Kapamilya veejay, host and recording artist Iya Villania has never posed sexy on the cover of any men’s magazine before that’s why it came as a surprise when she accepted the offer of Tanduay Rhum to be their calendar girl for 2011.

Previous Tanduay calendar girls are men’s magazine covers regulars and for Iya, she decided to drop her sweet and wholesome image first for the said calendar and perhaps men’s magazine covers will follow.

The 24-year-old Fil-Australian explains that reinventing herself is her way to bring more excitement to her career.

“Para hindi na nila sabihing masyado akong dry, para may kaunting excitement,” Iya said.

“The timing was also good. The offer came at a good time when I really feel comfortable with my body and more mature also,” she added.
