Marian Rivera inspires people off the dance floor



Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera is busy preparing for Marian, her upcoming dance show in GMA, but she still managed to fulfill her duties as an Ambassador for Women and Children with Disabilities.
 
Through the help of GMA Regional TV, the actress went to General Santos City on June 1, to be with her fans via a Kapuso Outreach Activity and a Kapuso Fans’ Day.
 
Marian paid a visit to the City Social Welfare and Development Office in GenSan, inspiring a total of 48 physically-challenged women and children from different barangays namely: Lagao, Dadiangas North, Dadiangas East, Dadiangas West, Bula, Baluan, San Isidro, and Mabuhay.
 
Aside from giving out relief goods, school supplies, and some GMA memorabilia, Marian also treated them to exciting games with prizes. Adding fun to the event was Kapuso comedian Boobay, who, most of the time, clowned around with the actress, lighting up the atmosphere all the more.
 
Also present during the outreach activity were AVP and Head of the Integrated Marketing Services Division of GMA Regional TV Oliver Amoroso, GMA TV Southern Mindanao Station Manager Mariles Puentevella and Department Head of City Social Welfare and Development Rebecca Magante.
 
As an ambassador, Marian said she does not want to make promises. Instead, she is focused on helping and reaching out in any way she can. “Malaking bagay para sa akin ang maging inspirasyon sa mga may kapansanan kaya naman hangga’t may pagkakataon, gagawa at gagawa ako ng paraan para makatulong. Thankful din ako sa GMA Network na nagsisilbing tulay upang maipaabot ko ang pagmamahal para sa ating mga kababayan,” shared Marian.
 
Meanwhile, Marian, together with Boobay, also went to SM City General Santos and mingled with her supporters in a Fans’ Day event that was met with so much excitement. About 5,000 eagerly partying fans packed the venue that Sunday afternoon. Supporters were left in awe of Marian’s cheerful performances as she gave the crowd a sample of what they’re going to expect in Marian.
