Finally ay naipahayag na ng GMA Management and it was now totally confired that the actress Marian Rivera won the title role as Thalia's "Marimar" in Philippine Version. When Angel Locsin not accepted for that role. Eventually ay very warm at humble naman si Marian sa paglabas ng news na ito. At thankful naman daw siya na siya ang napili ng management among other aspiring actresses na nag-audition. Marami kasing GMA talents ang nag-auditon para lamang sa titled role. Sa bagay, Marian was definitely deserving for the role at napakagaling niyang umarte. Ito ang usap-usapan sa mga internet forums ngayon. Marami kasi ang agree dito. After her current two shows niya sa GMA na “Muli” at “Super Twins” eh ito na ang next project ni Marian. And now she will play the lead role. Sabi nga ni Ms. Yda Henares (GMA artist center) at ni Ms. Wilma Galvante (GMA entertainment for TV) na lumabas sa press interview, na halos lahat ng shows na kinabibilangan ni Marian Rivera got a high ratings. “She act so very well” sabi ng management head. She was doin very well even in her past shows appearances in her afternoon soap like TAPE's "Kung Mamahalin Mo Lang Ako", "Agawin Mo Man Ang Lahat Sa Akin" at "Pinakamamahal". And all that got make a better feedback, especially the way she acts. Kaya naging proud si Ms. Malou Choa Fagar sa kanya. And based on tabloids survey na nakalap ng mga entertainment columnists, eh si Marian ang nakakuha ng may pinakamataas na score na umabot sa 87% compare sa original choices to play the role na si Angel Locsin na nakakuha lamang ng 10% at ang naiiwang 3% ay sa mga suggested actresses lang ng ilan. So, dito na kaya nagdecide ang management na finally ay siya na nga. She so pretty & talented. Wala ka nang hahanapin pa sa kanya. At sabi nga ng ilan mas deserving pa nga siya to play the role compare to Angel Locsin na balitang magbabakasyon muna abroad for her Fashion Studies. And Angel said,agree siya na si Marian ang napili at talagang bagay daw kay Marian ang role compare sa kanya. Na hindi naman niya kayang sumayaw. Yan ang naging pahayag ni Angel sa Press interview niya.
So, sa'yo Marian CONGRATULATIONS! and more power!
