He gave many compliments and expressed his admiration for Marian. The newly elected President who was then the mayor of the city – Mr. Rodrigo Duterte praised her as “the brightest star of the country’s showbiz”.

Marian Rivera grew up in a family withbroken parents. With her beautiful appearance and 𝓈ℯ𝓍y body, she soon entered showbiz as a model on television. Since 2005, she began appearing in low-budget television projects such as Agawin Mo Man Ang Lahat, Kung Mamahalin Mo Lang Ako .
However, the roles in the first 2 years did not help her shine. Luck came to Marian Rivera when she surpassed many candidates to become the female lead in the movie Wild Dance – a remake of the Mexican movie MariMar .MariMar is a love story and revenge between the characters. Actor Dingdong Dantes plays Sergio Santibanez – the son of a wealthy family. He was betrayed by his first love. Not only that, this girl later married his father to improve her status. During the period of broken love, he met a beautiful, somewhat wild girl living on the island named Marimar.
At first, Sergio saw her as a tool for revenge before realizing true love. Between the two, incidents constantly occurred due to the intervention of a third party. Later, Marimar returned with a different identity, rich and powerful. She wanted to take back everything that belonged to her.
At the age of 23, Marian received many prestigious awards in the television industry, and was named in the Top 𝓈ℯ𝓍iest female stars in the Philippines. Since then, the press has called her “the most beautiful woman in the country”. MariMar is the work of a lifetime for Marian because it not only helped her to flourish in her career but also helped her find her life partner – Dingdong Dantes.After the initial success, Marian continued to affirm her position as the queen of television dramas with the role of a mermaid in Dyesebel co-starring with Dingdong Dantes. This is also a remake project, the role of a mermaid that was successfully portrayed by many senior actors in the 1970s.From 2010 to 2014, the actress 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 in 1984 continuously scored points thanks to remakes – Endless Love (Philippine version of Autumn in My Heart ), The Revenge of the Wife (based on the Korean script of the same name), Temptation Island (filmed in 1980). Some critics say that Rivera is the star of remake projects. But she still succeeds in bringing a difference in acting compared to the previous version.With The Legend of Amaya , Marian Rivera escapes the image of a sentimental woman when she becomes a warrior with a mission to save the tribes. This is also one of her television works before marriage.
During her career, Marian Rivera received 6 individual awards honoring outstanding Philippine actors.
Star overcomes scandal
Despite her successful career, Marian Rivera has also encountered many scandals during her years in the entertainment industry. Many sources said that the actress was capricious, arrogant, often used foul language and cursed at staff behind the scenes. Not only that, she was also accused of having a dissolute lifestyle when photos of her having 𝓈ℯ𝓍 chats were leaked.
“Does Marian deserve our praise like that?”, one comment called for a boycott of the actress in 2012 – when she was very famous.
The actress remained calm in every suspicion. She did not explain herself, and thus the rumors grew even more. The clean evidence was all found and published by netizens. For example, the 𝓈ℯ𝓍 chat photos were actually just photoshopped images to smear the issue.
“I don’t think there’s any need to pay too much attention to rumors. There was a time when I thought I had to do something, but after working in this industry for so long, I felt it was redundant. I can’t spend all day dealing with rumors and neglecting my work just because of gossip. I’m not an angel or a goddess, but I believe I’m doing the right thing, so I can comfortably ignore the rumors,” she shared.
The actress revealed that after giving 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 to her first daughter, she felt more mature. “I just want to spend time with my husband, 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren and work. That’s more than enough.”
