MARIAN Rivera says her suitors more than doubled after she decided to go sexy in  Marimar.  *I will not deny it, enjoy ako with all the attention I am now getting not only from the guys na gusto kong makilala but even from the fans of the show na natutuwa sa akin,* she says.

*But I have no time for boys right now. Araw-araw, trabaho lang ang kaharap ko. I tape three days a week for Marimar and the rest of the week, I shoot for either Bahay Kubo or Desperadas of Regal, both directed by Joel Lamangan.*

“I’m really thankful to Mother Lily (Monteverde) for giving me the chance to work with my idol, Maricel Soriano, in ‘Bahay Kubo’, and with Ruffa Gutierrez, Iza Calzado and Rufa Mae Quinto in ‘Desperadas’ where we play sisters na may kanya-kanyang kuwento. My first movie, ‘Pamahiin’, was really with Regal. Nakakatuwa nga si Ate Maricel dahil nang makita niya ako, sabi niya sa’kin: ‘O, Marimar!’ Ako ‘yung panganay sa mga inampon niyang anak in the movie and my name is Lily dahil Mother Lily herself is the source of the story used in this movie.”

What can she say that some people think her rise to stardom is so fast? “That’s not really true kasi more than a year na ako in showbiz. I started sa soaps ng TAPE then GMA7 got me to do supporting roles sa ‘Muli’ and ‘Super Twins’. So naghirap din naman po ako before ’Marimar’ came to me.”

What can she say about the belief of some people that she’s GMA’s “the next big thing”?

“It’s scary kasi mataas ang expectations nila. I guess I’ll just have to do my best not to let them down. Pero marami pang ibang magagaling sa GMA at sila man, qualified din sa title na ‘the next big thing’.”

Because of Marian’s good performance in “Marimar,” we won’t be surprised if she’d also be assigned to do “Rosalinda,” the other Thalia-starrer that GMA-7 has already bought from Televisa Mexico.
