starsDagdag pa ni Diva, gusto niya ring matuto talagang mag-Tagalog Si Steven, “Kasi pag gusto mo talaga ‘yong ginagawa mo, hindi ka nahihirapan. Eh ako gusto ko talaga siyang turuan kasi gusto ko siyang matuto, kaya ‘di ako nahihirapan”

Kumusta naman kaya ang kanyang pagtatrabaho kasama ang final four ng Starstruck V? Hindi ba siya nahirapan o nailang man lang sa mga eksenang kailangan ang matinding emosyon?

“Kung hindi kami nagkasama sa Starstruck, for sure mas mahihirapan kami at mas maiilang kami sa isa’t isa Pero hindi, since alam kong ang lalim na kasi ng nabuo naming friendship eh, so hindi na kami naiilang,” sagot pa ni Diva.

Anu-ano naman kaya ang kanyang ginawang personal preparations para sa show na ito, bukod sa pag-attend niya sa mga workshops? “Siguro ‘yong hindi ko pine-pressure ang sarili ko and binabasa ko ‘yong script pag may time ako. Sini-sink in ko siya sa utak ko. And I’m in my character na everytime nagre-rehearse ako,” pagtatapos ni Diva.

Diva Montelaba, traumatized by father who left her.


Manila Bulletin
July 18, 2010
by Walden Sadiri

It is unlikely that the love team of "Starstruck V's" Diva Montelaba and Steven Silva will flourish into a real-life romance, contrary to the wishes of some fans. Diva is just jaded to jump into a relationship or fall "very much in love" with a guy at the moment.

Such is an ironic situation given that the two, who are marketed as a love team by GMA-7, have good chemistry together that fans are most likely to believe that they're already an item. Plus they're appearing in the newest episode of "LOVE BUG" entitled "EXCHANGE OF HEARTS" wherein Diva's character Barbie is crazy in love with Steven's Tim.

The 19-year-old singer-turned -actress revealed that she never experienced love that turned into something obsessive. She had her puppy love when she was in Grade 4 and her last boyfriend when she was 18; but she stressed that she has never gone crazy in love over a boy!

"I was traumatized by what my father did. He left us when I was still in my mother's womb and only saw him when I turned 15. Since then I always thought that a man would always leave a woman like what happened to my mom," she explained.

Her experience also taught her not to give everything when falling in love. Now that she has a showbiz career to attend to, the more that love would take the backseat.

"Why give it all to someone when you can love yourself first? When you're ready then that's when you give it all to somebody. Right now, I'm not that ready," she reiterated.

"My first acting job was in 'Maynila.' But 'Love Bug' is a bigger break especially for us, the top four of 'Starstruck V.' I was very nervous because we were under a good director, Andoy Ranay," said Diva.

Shot in Camiguin island, "Love Bug, Exchange of Hearts" (airing today, July 18 after Party Pilipinas) is about childhood friends Rachel ( played by Sarah Lahbati) and Tim whose parents want them to be married to each other in the future. But as they grow older, Tim would find a girlfriend in Barbie. while Rachel would be engaged to Emil (played by Enzo Pineda).

StarStruck V Final 4, magpapakilig sa Exchange of Hearts


iGMA.tv July 16, 2010

Magsisimula na ang latest offering ng 'LoveBug' ngayong linggo, ang "Exchange of Hearts". Ano kaya ang pakiramdam nina Sarah, Enzo, at Diva ng StarStruck V sa unang project nila na ito? Text by Karen de Castro. Photo by Mitch Mauricio.


This Sunday ay magsisimula na ang ikatlong episode ng LoveBug, ang Exchange of Hearts. This time ay dadalhin naman ng LoveBug ang mga manonood sa isa sa mga pinakamagagandang isla sa ating bansa, na siya ring kauna-unahang local destination that will be featured in the show - Camiguin.

Dito sa
Exchange of Hearts ay makikita ng mga manonood kung ano ang gagawin ng dalawang couples when they find themselves exchanging partners dahil sa mga kaganapan sa kanilang buhay. Ang apat na gaganap sa kanilang kauna-unahang starring roles ay ang StarStruck V winners na sina Sarah Lahbati at Steven Silva at ang mga finalists na sina Enzo Pineda at Diva Montelaba. Ito ang kauna-unahang proyekto ng apat na StarStruck alumni. Ano kaya ang kanilang nararamdaman sa kanilang pinakahihintay na kauna-unahang project dito sa GMA?

"Siyempre pressured po kami, but at the same time, we took it as a challenge, and very happy kami sa outcome ng mga shoot namin sa Camiguin," shared Enzo sa ginanap na press conference for
Exchange of Hearts last Monday, July 12.

Dagdag naman ni Sarah, pinaghandaan naman nilang maigi ang kanilang mga roles dito sa kanilang first project. "Nung wala pa kaming ginagawa, may materials naman kami. We also had workshops - acting workshop, singing workshop, marami pong workshop para mapaghandaan po yung first project, and ito na po yun. And dito namin magagamit yung mga napag-aralan namin," pagkukuwento niya.

Pressure din ang nararamdaman ni Diva sa kanilang first project, and she explained kung bakit hindi maiiwasan ang ganitong pakiramdam. "Kasi, the fact na first project namin ito, we're working with a very well-known director, si Direk Andoy [Ranay], and kapag nasa set na kami, hindi namin iniisip yung pressure kasi hindi talaga siya makakatulong," she admitted.

Nakatulong naman daw na silang apat ang magkakasama para malampasan ang pressure na ito. "Somehow, nagiging kampante na kami sa isa't-isa kasi nga matagal na kaming magkakasama, so nakakabawas siya ng pressure," said Diva.

Abangan sina Sarah, Steven, Enzo at Diva na magpapakilig sa inyo sa
LoveBug presents Exchange of Hearts, na magsisimula na ngayong Linggo after Party Pilipinasonly on GMA.

Diva's Moment



By Bot Glorioso (The Philippine Star) Updated July 16, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - StarStruck V First Princess Diva Montelaba doesn’t find anything wrong when she acted as “coach” of Steven Silva during their tapings in Camiguin for GMA 7’s Lovebug Presents: Exchange of Hearts. It’s the first lead role project of StarStruck V ultimate survivors that include Enzo Pineda and Sarah Lahbati but minus Rocco Nacino (he will be seen with Lovi Poe in another Lovebug episode).

Meanwhile, Barbie and Emil stalk their respective flames all over Camiguin. As they spy on Rachel and Tim, they grow closer and hit it off right away.

Director Andor Ranay is at the helm of this charming romantic comedy. Joining the cast is Angelu de Leon.

Sarah Lahbati and Diva Montelaba earned the ire of Direk Andoy Ranay while taping Lovebug episode

Sarah Lahbati and Diva Montelaba—the two female finalists of StarStruck V—will be seen in their first full-length television acting stint via GMA-7's Sunday afternoon program, Lovebug.

The two will star opposite their male counterparts Steven Silva and Enzo Pineda in the Camiguin-shot episode titled "Exchange of Hearts."

At last night's press conference held at Congo Grill on Tomas Morato, Quezon City, both Sarah and Diva said they felt proud with the outcome of the series and the fact that they were finally given a show by their home network after months of doing guest appearances.

StarStruck V capped its season last February 21 at the Araneta Coliseum, with Sarah and Steven emerging as winners; Diva, Enzo, and Rocco Nacino were proclaimed runners-up.

GINA ALAJAR AS MENTOR. In the months after the reality-based artista ended, the finalists attended workshops to sharpen their acting chops.

One of those tapped by the network to train its new breed of talents was no less than award-winning actress and director Gina Alajar.

Gina has appeared in nearly 80 films, some of which include: Wanted: Perfect Mother (1970); Diborsyada (1979); Brutal (1980); Salome (1981); Moral (1981); Pieta, Ikalawang Aklat (1984); Kaya Kong Abutin Ang Langit (1984); Sister Stella L (1984); Bulaklak Ng City Jail (1984); Bayan Ko: Kapit Sa Patalim (1985); Orapronobis (1989); and Jose Rizal (1998).

"Sobrang galing niya pong coach," Sarah said about Gina in an interview with PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal). "Kasi po lahat ng hindi namin nagagawa before, natutunan namin sa workshop and lahat po 'yon binuhos namin dito sa Lovebug."

Diva dubbed Gina's teachings and lessons as their "foundation" in going into the shoot.

"Kung ano 'yong maibibigay namin ngayon, dahil 'yon sa kanya dahil siya talaga 'yong nag-mold sa amin kung paano maging magaling na aktres. And siya 'yong nagturo sa amin ng mga techniques kung paano i-handle 'yong mga different situations," explained the 17-year-old Cebuana.

WORKING WITH DIREK ANDOY. Directing "Exchange of Hearts" is Andoy Ranay, who recently got embroiled in a controversy after allegedly losing his temper while on the set of the now defunct coming-of-age series First Time.

Hiring the services of Direk Andoy to oversee the StarStruck V graduates says a lot about his ability to motivate and mold raw talents.

The working relationship between Direk Andoy and the four neophytes, however, was far from perfect especially at the start of production.

"Nasigawan kami!" recalled Diva. "Expected naman po namin kasi siguro nag-a-adjust pa lang po kasi kami. And thankful kami kasi sa second and third day, ang dami na naming compliments na na-receive kay Direk and natutuwa na siya sa ginagawa namin."

Direk Andoy's sudden outburst was totally within reason according to Sarah: "Ako naman po, kailangan nating intindihin dahil lahat pagod na, like 'yong staff, cameraman, and especially 'yong direktor. Kasi grabe po 'yong pagod na binubuhos niya sa trabaho. So, kung sumigaw siya, kailangan na lang po naming intindihin."

Sarah continued, "Hindi po siya strict. Mabait po siyang director. Pero pag ganun nga po, umaga na and pagod na tapos pangatlong araw na nung taping, sunod-sunod 'yong ginagawa, siyempre hindi maiiwasang sumigaw."

BENCH UNDERWEAR DEBUT. Both Sarah and Diva were part of the recently-concluded Bench Denim and Underwear Fashion Show held last July 2 at the Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City.

"Sobrang na-starstruck ako kasi ang daming artista, tapos mga idols ko nakita ko!" gushed Diva.

Sarah shared Diva's excitement in recalling their experience.

"Nung rehearsal pa lang, ang dami-daming artista, taga-iba-ibang channel and na-starstruck ako. Siyempre kasi dati sa Switzerland, sa computer lang ako nanonood ng mga series kung nasaan 'yong mga idols ko. At the same time, na-enjoy ko 'yong experience na 'yon kasi first time ko," Sarah narrated.

Journal Online

Ginanap kagabi ang presscon ng cast ng Lovebug presents…Exchange of Hearts sa direction ni Andoy Ranay at kinunan sa Camiguin.

Excited sina Sarah Lahbati, Diva Montelaba, Enzo Pineda at Steven Silva na sama-sama silang aarte sa isang episode ng Lovebug.

Pinakakabado si Steven dahil first acting project niya ito, kaya inaral nang husto ang script at pati ang karakter niyang si Tim.

“I wanna do good” ang sabi nito at kasama yata sa nagpapakaba sa kanya’y ang kissing scene nila ni Sarah.

Third kissing scene na ni Sarah ang halikan nila Steven kaya ’di na masyadong kabado, pero inaral din ang buong script at ang karakter niyang si Rachel.

Parehong jologs ang role nina Enzo at Diva as Emil and Barbie, respectively, at na-challenge ang una dahil ibang-iba sa karakter niya. Okey kay Diva na makatrabaho si Steven na muntik niyang maging BF during the StarStruck V days.

Oi Darlings Reunion ( Clip from Diva Montelaba Homecoming Special )


Diva with Oi Darlings

This unedited video was shot during the taping of Diva's Homecoming Special in Cebu. Diva was asked to perform a dance number with her "Oi Darlings" friends as part of the tv special aired in GMA 7 Cebu last July 4, 2010. Given only a few time to practice the dance, Diva still shows that she can do it with ease. That's what you call natural talent!
