Rain Matienzo in Maria Clara at Ibarra


"Minsan gusto ko nalang maging buwaya para mayakap ni Elias..." writes Rain before appearing as Salome in 'Maria Clara at Ibarra.'

Before her debut as Salome in GMA Telebabad's historical portal fantasy series Maria Clara at Ibarra, Kapuso actress and host Rain Matienzo had been subtly dropping hints on her social media accounts.

On November 14, Rain reposted a teaser of Maria Clara at Ibarra that introduced Rocco Nacino's character Elias.

She wrote, "Ito na nga ang exciting part. Papasok na ang Noli Me Tangere crush ko charot."

Two days later, on November 16, Rain tweeted, "Minsan gusto ko nalang maging buwaya para mayakap ni Elias."

Little did everyone know that Rain would not only be part of Maria Clara at Ibarra but she would be portraying the love interest of Elias.

"salamat sa mainit na pag yakap kay Salome! kasing init ng yakap sa kanya ni Elias," she wrote on Twitter after the episode aired.

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.
