Here’s the part 1 of the much-awaited Pep Talk with Marian Rivera. One of the topics they tackled is if she’ll leave showbiz when she gets married. In Pinoy showbiz, getting married seems to be the gateway for some celebs to completely disappear. Thankfully, not all go by that ideal, including Marian Rivera. She loves her job. Acting and Dancing will never leave her blood. When Pep asked if that’s OK with Dingdong, Marian firmly said he’ll have no choice but to follow her decision coz it’s what she wants to do. That is such a strong statement that tickles my closet-feminist’s fancy, and something else too. Think hard what that something else is 
.
FYI: A military wedding doesn’t mean the bride will wear the camouflage uniform. The groom, who is/was in the military will wear the formal uniform. Camouflage uniform is for day to day work but there’s a uniform for formal events. And then there will be like an entorage of fellow soldiers with their sword when the bride and groom walk down the aisle after the ceremony. In short, when they get married and they’ll have a military-themed wedding, Marian would most probably wear her white wedding gown. Unless she decides to wear a camouflage printed dress, Haha!
Anyhooooo, part 2 of this Pep Talk will be posted on June 14. For the text version, check out Pep.

hi miss feisty,
i’m from canada and although I always visit your site, this is my very first time to comment on any of your article. simply because i was amazed by this inteview of marian. she answers all the questions straight to the point with no arte arte whatsoever.
natuwa lang ako dun sa question na kahit kasal na sila ni dingdong ay ok ba ke dingdong kung mag-showbiz pa rin siya and she said, no choice siya, ito ang gusto ko gawin. hehehehehe… she answered that question truthfully which in my opinion is good for her. at least she’s the kind of person who really knows what she wants in life and will do what will make her happy. i’m sure naman napapag-usapan na rin nila ni dingdong yang mga bagay na yan and i think that both of them are open minded and love each other so much that they are ready to compromise for the sake of each other’s happiness…
and i know that in god’s time, as what dingdong is always saying, they will be in front of the altar saying i do’s to each other and live happily ever after. hehehehe…
thanks for the space and i really enjoy reading your articles and feature articles… god bless always..
Hi Beng, thanks for finally commenting. You should do it more often.
I really am glad that Marian said she won’t leave showbiz after getting married. She’s a woman who can balance life and career. A lot of people do it and more and more women in showbiz are doing it so I’m very confident that Marian would as well.
i really think so too ‘coz she’s one of the best actress we have in the philippine industry and given the right projects, one of this days, i know she will be given the best actress award in one of those prestigious award giving bodies.
and i hope she get’s one for my beloved ‘coz she’s really superb in this series..
i will try to comment a post more often.. thanks again..
now we know why pep chose marian as their first ever featured artist. this is because she has substance. direct to the point when she answers the questions. not the typical actress na maarte and pakyeme. she was never been a boring interviewee. she has this sense of humor that makes the situation light and relaxed.. i believe that anybody can converse with her anything under the sun. she is so down to earth with no “hangin” at all.
i just want to share my very first meeting of marian in person. this happens during our company xmas party. she was once our product endorser. (sorry cant mention the name of our company). we have a lot of celebrity endorsers present during that time. we paid a little attention to them. got star struck for a while and back to our toes after. then marian arrived in the middle of our party celebration. our president acknowledged her arrival. marian went straight in front and greeted everybody and said her thank you’s. then came her finale statement before taking her seat. this is exactly what she said.. “kung kailangan nyo ako, dito lang ako sa gilid,” then took her seat. guess, what was the scenario after..
R-I-O-T!! as in RIOT talaga.. why? because everyone wants to take picture with her.. we were like kids seeing our favorite stuff for the first time.. hahaha.. and i was amazed with her.. i never saw her disgusted or dismayed to think that she haven’t seated there even just for 10 minutes long. she was so accommodating that we forgot that she haven’t taken her dinner yet. so sorry for her.. i know, the other celebrities present during that time got envious with marian because of the attention given to her by almost all of the people in attendance.
that was my most unforgettable xmas party celebration. although a lot of celebrities graced our xmas party every year, i have never experienced again the RIOT that marian’s attendance has caused.. siya lang talaga.. nag-iisa..
That’s the Marian we know and love her presence even in d mist of many is always felt. I tink that why DD fell in love with her on d first day he set his eyes on her. Her beauty and talents are so overwhelming that one can’t help but just like her. Dingdong loves her a lot so he won’t stop her from doing what makes her happy.
It was an amazing interview. Well, all of Marian’s interviews have been great. She answers questions in rapid successions honestly, without pretense and full of substance. From her interviews that I’ve seen, I learn something new about her each time and coming out admiring her even more. An amazing strong modern day woman that people should emulate and respect. I salute thee Miss Marian Rivera . . . . God Bless!
