Marian Rivera unleashes her bad side

MANILA, Philippines – Babalik sa primetime TV si Marian Rivera bilang si Proserfina, ang heroine ng "Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang," isang comic-to TV adaptation ni Carlo J. Caparas. This will be a different portrayal for the actress, because it is completely unlike her past characters who were more comedic or childlike. This is the first time Marian will be a very, very bad girl – and she’s ready to give it her all. Nang makasama ang iGMA sa story conference ng Tadyang, naibalita sa amin na galing sa isang sindikato ang pamilya ni Proserfina, kaya naman streetsmart, palamura, athletic at pasaway ang character niya dito. As a result, kinailangan ni Marian na mag-adjust para sa kanyang role. "Sobrang nag-adjust ako kasi sa make-up pa lang – ang alam ko, 'yung may powder lang, blush on, mascara, gloss, [pero] kahapon, pinaiba! Nag-eyeliner ako, [at kailangan] dark makeup! Sabi ko, 'Eh ang pangit ko yata!" bulalas ni Marian. But as Proserfina eventually falls in love with Homer (Dingdong Dantes), Marian’s makeup will become lighter. As for her outfits, Marian says it’s a lot like Angelina Jolie’s outfits in Wanted or in Tomb Raider – rugged yet sexy. You may also want to watch out for one particular outfit Marian had to wear where the neckline was almost until her belly button! Pero medyo nag-aalala si Marian para sa young audience ng show, kaya naman kinausap niya si direk Joyce Bernal na i-guide siya sa dialogues: "'Yung mga character parang medyo alam mong bastos magsalita, [kaya] syempre sabi ko kay direk Joyce alagaan niya din ako kasi may mga bata din na love ako, alam mo ‘yun? May mga eksena doon na [medyo rated talaga]." She cites an example of a line not suitable for kids: "Mayroon doon sa mga lines ko na, ‘Marami nang lalaking nagdaan sa buhay ko at hindi lang halik ang ginawa nila sa akin! Eh ikaw, ano ka sa kama? Hindi ka magaling!’ Paano mo masasabi sa TV ['yun], 'di ba?" Tadyang was made into a movie in 1981, with Vivian Velez as the original Proserfina. In that film, there was a famous scene where Vivian jumped from a 10-storey building. Will Marian do the same thing in the TV adaptation despite her foot fracture? "Hindi ko alam kay direk Joyce pero kahapon 'yung mga akyat-akyat [sa bahay], ayaw nilang pagawa. Sabi ko direk kaya ko na, sige na!" kuwento ng dalaga. She’s not yet sure if she’ll actually do the big jump, but it looks like Marian’s willing to risk anything as long as it would make her portrayal more effective! "Sa character na ito, sobrang naiiba talaga, as in pananalita, makeup, pananamit, saka baliktad dito – ako na ngayon ang hinahabol ng [character ni Dingdong] kasi 'di ba sa MariMar, ako nanghahabol, [tapos sa] Dyesebel ako [din]? Ngayon, siya na ang hahabol sa akin!" - iGMA.tv
