By MARY LOUISE LIGUNAS



Although Raymond Bagatsing already got to work with Marian Rivera in Temptation of Wife, reuniting in Carmela brought them a lot closer.

Because of the show, the actor really got to see how energetic and optimistic the Primetime Queen is.

“One thing that always strikes me with Marian is that she’s very positive,” he said.

Because of the good vibes that she emanates, being around her becomes fun and working with her is a breeze. Despite heavy dramatic scenes, Marian is able to easily switch back into the cheerful person that she is.

“Napaka-bubbly niya sa work. Kahit madrama na 'yung mga [scenes at sobrang serious], kapag nasa set siya, she makes sure na binabati niya lahat. Masaya siya, tawa siya ng tawa, makulit siya,” he described.

Although Carmela has ended, the two remain good friends. Raymond Bagatsing, who played Dante in the GMA Telebabad show, considers himself blessed to have such relationship with the actress.

“Happy, happy birthday, my dear Carmela. May you have a really awesome at masayang birthday,” he wished.

The Kapuso veteran actor further described his good friend.

“Leo ka, alam ko. At ang Leo, very makulit and very generous. Thank you for being generous. I wish you all the best for your birthday,” he added.
