Marian Rivera is already taking swimming lessons for the much-anticipated telefantasya Dyesebel.
Get your daily dose of hot gossip in this all-new addition to iGMA! Whether it's capping off yesterday's entertainment headlines or dishing a celebrity's recent issue, iGMA still has it covered! Be on the lookout for multiple updates within the day - you wouldn't want to be the last to know, would ya? So keep checking this space for what's hot and new in the entertainment world. After a successful 52.6% finale episode rating-the highest so far in TV history-MariMar will give way to another drama series: Gilda Olvidado's Babangon Ako't Dudurugin Kita. But just because Marian Rivera will take a break from primetime TV doesn't mean she's not working hard! Today was her first swimming lesson for the much-anticipated Dyesebel. She trained with Alfred Vargas and Paolo Ballesteros who will play mermen in the telefantasya set to air in April this year. If for MariMar Marian learned how to dance like Thalia, here, she has to learn how to move like a fish! "Di siya biro," TV's newest mermaid says in a Chika Minute interview. She will be paired again with her MariMar leading man Dingdong Dantes, who will play Fredo in the series. If it was already difficult to move in the water even without the costume, how much more if her feet were bound and there was weight holding her down? "Sana makayanan," she imparts, adding that cast members who will portray water creatures will practice with their costumes on during their last training day.
