Rain Matienzo as Salome


"Ang perfect din ng chemistry nila ni Rocco!" Napanood n'yo ba ang paglabas ni Rain bilang Salome?

Kapuso host and actress Rain Matienzo was highly praised by the viewers of GMA Telebabad's historical portal fantasy series Maria Clara at Ibarra as her character Salome appeared last night, November 28.

Salome is the love interest of Elias, portrayed by Rocco Nacino, in the missing chapter of Noli Me Tangere. Dr. Jose Rizal removed the chapter from the final manuscript due to lack of funds, but the new edition of the book now contains the chapter titled "Elias at Salome."

On Twitter, the show's viewers and avid fans sang praises for Rain, and her chemistry with Rocco.

One netizen wrote, "MYGADDD I KNEW THAT WAS SALOME PERO DI KO IN-EXPECT NA SI RAINNNN OMAYGAD ANG PERFECTTTT! ANG PERFECT DIN NG CHEMISTRY NILA NI ROCCO!"

The show's official hashtag, #MCIGulongNgKapalaran was the top trending topic on Twitter Philippines. "Salome" and "Elias" also made it to the trending list.

Maria Clara at Ibarra airs Mondays to Fridays, 8:00 p.m. on GMA Telebabad. It is also livestreamed online on GMANetwork.com/KapusoStream.

The show's past episodes are also available on GMANetwork.com/FullEpisodes.
