MGA BAGAY NA KAILANGAN MO MALAMAN TUNGKOL KAY ISABEL GRANADA NA HINDI ALAM NG KARAMIHAN!

Child star and actress Isabel Granada succumbed to death after being in a coma for two weeks since her sudden collapse. At 41 years old, Isabel died on the evening of November 4 at Hamad General Hospital in Doha, Qatar.



It has been a long journey for the ageless artista who was considered as one of the most beautiful in Philippine showbiz industry. To further remember and honor her, showbiz website PEP made a list of 10 things that told of Isabel’s undeniable zest for life, undying love for her family, and passion for her onscreen career. She was often recalled as saying, “I do everything 100 percent.”



Isabel learned to speak Spanish first.
Since she was born to a Filipino father (Humberto Granada) and a Spanish mother (Isabelle Villarama), she was raised in Spain until her family moved to the Philippines when she was six years old.Isabel eventually learned English as her secondary language.



At six years old, Isabel appeared in her first commercial.
Isabel was offered to do a commercial at a young age, so her mom brought her back to the Philippines. Three years after, she had her first role on the silver screen, a Seiko Films flick entitled Magchumikap Ka.



She was part of the “That’s Entertainment” cast in 1986.
As member of the iconic teen-oriented show that launched the careers of most artistas, Isabel was in the Tuesday Group, but also became part of the Monday Group. She was in the show for 10 years. According to the now-defunct show’s host, late German Moreno, Isabel was ‘very talented’ in being an all-around performer – singing, acting, and dancing.

Her first love team partner was Chuckie Dreyfus. They were co-stars in the 1988 flick “Kambal Tuko” that starred twins Richard and Raymond Gutierrez. Isabel and Chuckie were eventually paired as a tandem and went on to make several box-office hits from 1989 to 1990. They partnered in GMA’s “Survivor Philippines Celebrity Doubles Showdown” in 2011.



Despite her showbiz career, Isabel was interested in flying a plane so she became a licensed pilot.
In fact, she finished a degree in Aeronautical Engineering at the famed flying school, Philippine Air Transport and Training Services (PATTS). She reportedly took lessons from a certain ‘colonel’ from the Philippine Air Force as well.



Her passion extended to sports.
She played volleyball at PATTS, and joined other competitions after her graduation. When she became a mom, Isabel played badminton to lose weight.



Isabel’s right ovary was removed in 2006.
A cyst grew as big as her ovary, prompting doctors to remove her right ovary. Two years after, cysts found in her left ovary, aside from myoma in her uterus, were also surgically taken away.

Fake news of her death made the rounds twice.
The first incident of the death hoax happened in 2007 when her then husband, Jericho Aguas, lost in his political bid as vice mayor. In 2011, another malicious text message made the rounds among entertainment editors, but Isabel quashed the rumors and confirmed she was in the pink of health.



She was first married in 2002, but eventually separated. Jericho was Isabel’s long-time boyfriend, tying the knot on December 10, 2002. She gave birth to their son and only child in 2003. It wasn’t clear when the pair separated since they could still be spotted together in 2013 during social gatherings.



Isabel’s last partner was Arnel Principe-Cowley, reportedly marrying him in 2015.

Calling him mi amor, Spanish for my love, Arnel and Isabel got hitched recently. In fact, they celebrated their supposed anniversary last October 18, a few days before Isabel was hospitalized in Qatar.
