Marian Rivera Reunited With Bf Dingdong Dantes In My Beloved

MARIAN RIVERA felt so elated when told that she’ll be the leading lady of Dingdong Dantes in GMA-7’s new show, “My Beloved”, to replace her own “Amaya” in late January. “Unang-una natuwa ang fans ng love team namin kasi noon pa nila nire-request na pagsamahin kami uli ni Dong sa isang show,” she says. “Kasi ang tagal na rin since we last worked together in ‘Endless Love’. This will be our fifth show together after ‘Marimar’, ‘Dyesebel’ and ‘Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang’. Pero ibang klaseng romantic soap itong ‘My Beloved’ kasi naiiba ang role ni Dong as a messenger of death na siyang sumusundo sa mga taong malapit ng sumakabilang-buhay. Magkakaroon ng conflict ng ma-in love siya sa akin.”

After she gave Dingdong Dantes an expensive Ducati bike, she also just got her Christmas present from him, an equally expensive set of Fendi jewelry consisting of a ring, bracelet and a pair of earrings. She was wearing them at the last presscon of “Ang Panday 2”. “O, ang ganda, di ba?” she says proudly. “Sinuot ko para makita nyo. When I opened the gift and saw them, wala akong nasabi. Nagtitili lang ako sa sobrang katuwaan. I really love it at happy ako sa naging regalo niya sa akin. This is my merriest Christmas ever not only because I love his gift kundi meron pa kong maganda entry sa filmfest, ‘Panday 2’, na maipagmamalaki ko talaga, tapos patuloy na winner sa ratings ang ‘Amaya’ and now, magsasama pa uli kami ni Dong sa ‘My Beloved’. Ang feeling ko, sobrang blessed ko na talaga kaya thank you, Lord.”

What can she say about the writers who felt bitter that they weren’t invited to the Christmas party she hosted with her manager Popoy Caritativo’s other talents? Lolit Solis butts in at this point. “Naku, ha, ang kapal ng mukha nila mag-emote, ha. Walang kasalanan si Marian kasi di niya alam kung sino mga inimbitahan ko. Siempre, yun lang mga nakakatulong sa kanya ang invited ko, no? Akong harapin nila. Prerogative ng nagi-invite kung sino ang gusto niyang imbitahin at hindi, kaya sa’kin sila mag-emote.”
