MARIAN RIVERA welcomes back Dina Bonnevie in “Super Ma’am”. Dina was present at the start of the show playing the mother of Marian and Kim Domingo, but she was later shown dying in an earthquake that also caused the separation of Kim from Marian.
Now, Dina is back but she is only being cloned by Jackielou Blanco, the queen of the evil Tamawos who want to put down Marian as Super Ma’am. Jackielou is impersonating Dina just to be close to Marian and get her confidence as Minerva. This is so Jackie can find out Marian’s secrets as the superhero who fights the Tamawos.
There will also be new additions to the cast of “Super Ma’am”. First will be Neil Ryan Sese as a Tamawo. Later, Gil Cuerva of “My Love from the Star” will also be joining the cast to play another intriguing and mysterious character.
In public, Marian was last seen attending the wedding at Christ the King Church of her good friend Ai Ai de las Alas to Gerald Sibayan last Tuesday. Earlier, she hosted a spa-themed bridal shower for Ai Ai attended by their mutual friends, Pops Fernandez and “Sunday PinaSaya” co-star Valeen Montenegro. Her weddinig gift to Ai Ai is the fabulous wedding gown designed by Frederic Peralta and with special floral paintings on the train by Louie Ignacio.
“I wish her all the best for this marriage,” says Marian. “She deserves to be happy kasi mabuti siyang tao.”
Marian herself will be celebrating her 3rd wedding anniversary with hubby Dingdong Dantes on December 30. “Ang bilis, 3 years na pala agad ang nagdaan. When you’re happy kasi, hindi mo nararamdaman ang paglipas ng mga araw,” she beams.
