The past year has been good to Rain Matienzo, with her role as Salome in 'Maria Clara at Ibarra' a particular highlight.

Each year comes with highs and lows for every person, but for Rain Matienzo, 2022 has been a banner year for her entry into the world of acting. She shared as much on a post on her social media acknowledging her success in the past year.

In one of her more recent posts on Instagram, Rain shared photos and clips of her over the past year, which she described as her “first year of acting.” In the caption, she looked back at different roles she's played, such as Marichu in Regal Studios Presents, Tanya in Artikulo 247, and her lauded turn as Salome in Maria Clara at Ibarra. She ended the caption by wishing for “more jokes for tiktok [and] tears for the camera.”

Rain's first year of acting has certainly been fruitful, especially her stint on Maria Clara at Ibarra. Her turn as Salome was well-received by viewers, describing the role as a perfect fit for her.

On her TikTok account, Rain thanked the viewers for liking her in the role, especially as it was her first dramatic role.

"Kinakabahan ako simula nag-taping kami hanggang umere, kasi hindi ko alam if magugustuhan ba ng mga tao, and 'yung nga, first time ko mag-drama," she said.
