Marian Rivera will return to primetime TV on Super Ma’am, a fantasy-action series on GMA-7 telebabad.
She said, “Nandun yung fight scene na hinahanap ko, yun talaga ang gusto ko, e.”
As a matter of fact, Marian does the fight scenes herself.
She reasoned, “Ang pangit kapag may double, halata, e.”
Ai-Ai delas Alas also had a fight scene over the roof taken at a Tutuban building with her “kambal” Marian Rivera as a special participation on Super Ma’am.
Marian says, “Kaya nga si Kambal [referring to Ai-Ai] nagagalit sa akin, pero in a joke lang.
“Sabi nga, ‘Kambal, ang tanda ko na, pinapaganito mo pa ko?’
“Tumatakbo-takbo kami, puma-fight kami sa tren.”
There were many new materials presented to Marian but Super Ma’am is what he likes most.
Marian said, “GMA has a lot of pricenens on me, but it really is what I’m doing.
“Maraming prinisent sa akin ang GMA, pero ito talaga ang napusuan ko.
“Especially, wholesome kasi siya ’tapos teacher pa, pangarap kong maging teacher.
“Maganda kasi ito para maging aral, magmulat sa mga estudyante.
“Kasi nowadays, parang iba na ang kultura ng mga kabataan ngayon.
“At least kahit papaano ito, may moral values talaga siya sa mga makakapanood.”
Super Ma’am premiered last Monday, September 18.
Kim Domingo was personally handpicked by Marian to be part of the series.
According to her, Talagang sinabi ko na isa si Kim sa gusto ko. My God, si Kim!
“Pantasya siya at perfect siya sa character, maganda siya, sexy siya.
“Magaling namang umarte, at saka ang bait-bait niya, e.”
Marian also claimed that Jerald Napoles was his choice as a leading man.
“Ah, leading man, si Je ang gusto ko, well, siguro GMA na rin.
“Pero isa siya sa personal choice ko talaga.”
Marian and Jerald are both the talent of Triple A who manages Marian’s career.
His other leading man is half-American, half-Filipino Matthias Rhoads.
How was it working with Matthias?
“Mahal niya ang trabaho niya,” Marian said.
“Sabi ko nga, siya yung tipo na mahal niya ang trabaho niya kahit nagsisimula pa lang siya.
“Willing siya at nakikita kong nakikinig siya kay Direk.
“Kapag may instruction si Direk, talagang naka-focused talaga siya.”
Marian is referring to Direk L.A. Madridejos who she’s working with for the first time.
She said, ““Magaan ang mga katrabaho ko rito at special mention ko talaga si Direk L.A.
“Napakagaan katrabaho, nag-a-adjust talaga siya ayon sa kakayahan ko so hindi ako nahirapan talaga.
“First time ko siyang makatrabaho, love na love ko siya.
“Sabi ko nga, sorry, I have new favorite,” she said laughing.
Direk L.A also likes favorites of the main cast of the recently concluded series, Meant to Be.
Marian was almost over two years without a primetime series, except for some episodes she had been in Encantadia as Ynang Reyna.
Even though she knew that the battle is now rife with two primetime networks, she does not think about pressure.
“Lahat naman ng trabaho ay may pressure, pero wala na ko run, e,” she shared.
“Ang gusto ko lang, gawin ko nang maayos ang trabaho ko at masaya akong nagta-trabaho.
“Especially, meron akong mga bagong kaibigan, itong cast na ito na sinasabi ko ngang kapamilya ko na.
“Sobra ang saya na looking forward ako na magpunta sa taping, ang sasaya nilang katrabaho.”
Will a crossover be witnessed between Marian’s Super Ma’am and husband Dingdong Dantes’ Alyas: Robin Hood?
“Kaso ang problema walang schedule na maibigay, pero malay mo naman, mag-overlap,” she said with a smile.
