Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes talk about the challenges in Dyesebel



The likes of Edna Luna, Vilma Santos, Alma Moreno, Alice Dixson, and Charlene Gonzalez have one thing in common: famous fins. They all have graced the big screen wearing nothing but a tail and a couple of seashells, carrying the famous name of Dyesebel.

GMA-7 brings back Dyesebel—but on primetime TV, picking none other than Marian Rivera to give new life to the fish-tailed princess. Once again, she is paired with MariMar co-star Dingdong Dantes. This comes as a as challenge for them to bring new life their successful love team and offer something new to the viewers.


Fresh from their set in Coron, Palawan, Marian and Dingdong graced Showbiz Central yesterday, April 20, as they talked about the physical and emotional challenges of making the show and waited with the fans for the unveiling of the new Dyesebel billboard in front of GMA Network Center.

UNDER THE SEA. Showbiz Central host Pia Guanio commented on Marian's sacrifices for Dyesebel.

"Marian, pinapanood ko pa lang ang footage ng shooting mo sa Palawan, eh, parang hirap na hirap ako. But first, getting into the costume. Mahirap ba na isuot ang buntot mo, yung headdress mo? How did you manage to stay so beautiful kahit underwater at napaka-hirap ng mga eksena?"

"Siguro sa tulong na din ng makeup artist ko," Marian replied. "Tapos yung buntot, nilalagay na lang siya ‘pag nasa tubig na ako. Kasi mas mahirap ‘pag wala ako sa tubig. So, sa tubig ko siya nilalagay."

Pia followed, "Of course, Dingdong has had some experience shooting underwater scenes in the past. One of your problems is not being able to sink. Kasi naman, sa kaseksihan ni Marian, eh, paano ba naman ‘yan lulubog sa tubig? Dingdong, anong mga tips ang binigay mo kay Marian to help her out?"

"Mahirap talaga yung ginagawa niya," Dingdong admitted. "As in kailangan pang maglagay ng pabigat, ‘tapos at the same time, malamig pa sa ilalim ng tubig. Kaya sinasabi ko parati sa kanya na to relax lang talaga."

"Marian, we know for a fact na one of the scenes, talagang iniyakan mo sa hirap," Pia said as Marian laughed. "And of course, hindi ka naman namin masisisi. Talagang mahirap talaga mga eksena mo. This was your last scene na kinuha sa Palawan wherein si Dyesebel, kinailangan iaangat sa tubig si Fredo [Dingdong's character]. Alam na namin yung kwento mo tungkol diyan. Pero ikaw Dingdong, nahirapan ka din ba sa eksenang yun?"

"Actually, ako kasi, parang walang malay ako doon, unconscious ako. So hinihintay ko lang siya [Marian] na dumating at sagipin ako. Nagawa naman namin, eh, yung first part."

"But you could feel her frustration?" Pia followed.

"Very much," Dingdong answered. "Kasi four, five days kami sa Palawan. Noong umpisa pa lang, mula araw hanggang mawalan ng araw, eh, talagang nasa ilalim ng tubig. Hindi siya umaahon unless ‘pag kumakain lang...or nagsi-CR."



ROLE PLAYING. Dingdong's joke brought about screams as Pia could hardly hear her next question to Dingdong and Marian. Luckily, she was able to bring her question across when she asked a second time.

"Of course, unprecedented talaga ‘yung love team ninyong dalawa. Everybody is wondering kung papaano ninyo iibahin yung atake ninyo sa love team ninyo sa Dyesebel at what you did as Sergio and Marimar."

Marian offered to answer first by saying, "Madaming kaibahan din and siyempre, ibang-iba si Marimar kay Dyesebel. Kasi si Dyesebel kasi, sobrang pilya. Light din ang buhay para sa kanya."

“Si Fredo [naman] mas seryoso sa buhay,” Dingdong said as an introduction to his character, describing him as bugnutin and masungit. “Tapos ‘pag makikilala niya si Dyesebel, mag-iiba ‘yung buhay niya dahil kay Dyesebel.”

Pia then asked when the two will be returning to Palawan.

"Ngayon, ine-explore pa namin yung iba't-ibang lugar," Dingdong replied. "Bataan, at meron din kami sa Bulacan. Hangga't hindi tag-ulan."

"Pero it's not all fun and games. Alam kong si Marian madalas masugatan sa corals," Pia suddenly asked. "Nasugatan while shooting the underwater scenes. Is that true Marian?"

Marian replied, "Opo, kasi sa tubig ang hirap talagang dumilat at malabo pa yung mata ko. So, nagma-mask muna ako pero hindi ko rin maiwasan na minsan nasasadsad din ako sa mga corals na."
