Last Sunday, July 29, Showbiz Central gave the first look at the sizzling hot billboards of GMA-7’s newest offering: the remake of the telenovela sensation Marimar. The program’s lead stars, Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes, themselves led the unveiling of the eye-catching billboards along EDSA. “Ako, sobrang saya! “First time ko kasi magkaroon ng billboard, kaya wala akong masabi. Talagang, wow,” Marian gushed after Showbiz Central host Raymond Gutierrez asked how she felt during the event. The first billboard along EDSA corner East Avenue, Quezon City has Marian rising from the sea and the second, the one posted on the GMA Network building, shows Marian and Dingdong in a steamy pose. “Alam mo, naalala ko pa nga ‘yung sinabi ni Jun De Leon (photographer) that day nung kinukunan niya kami ng photos,” Dingdong shared. “Sabi niya, ‘Bingo! We got the shot.’ So, ayan, nakita ko, ito na mismo ‘yung shot. Wow talaga, wow!” Now that the billboards have been revealed, does that mean Marimar will soon be seen on TV? That’s a yes, replied Dingdong. “Itong billboard, isang patunay na palapit nang palapit na ang Marimar. Kaya abangan nyo sometime in August.” Marian added, “Kung minahal nila dati si Marimar, mas mamahalin pa nila lalo ngayon. Kaya aabangan talaga nila dapat ‘yun!” And Dingdong quickly followed up with, “Dahil siyempre sa kagalingan ni Marian sa pagganap bilang Marimar. Malaking bagay ‘yun. Abangan ‘yan.” Have you seen the billboards? Let your words be read at the iGMA forums!
