5 Things I will never forget about Marian Rivera

Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera is now celebrating her 29th birthday (born Marián Gracia Rivera on August 12, 1984 in Madrid, Spain).

This is a birthday post to one of the most beautiful celebrities I have met in person - Marian Rivera. She's really my crush eversince and she's one of the main reason why I love being a Kapuso. Though before, my head was filled with all the gossip rag talks about her, on how she's a snob and not-so-good artist on the staff and even the press, I was taken aback with how nice she was when I first met her. It's not always true what's being written or being said in the news.

I love Marian because she's so good, funny, witty and straightforward. She’s one of the best among her peers in the industry. I really admire her, the way she answers the questions truthfully and all honesty. Walang paligoy ligoy or arte arte especially when she didn’t tackle the past issue but instead comment on the good karma that she got by letting the issue die by itself.

I am one of her first 100 followers when she opened her instagram account and her bright sunshine of positivity, all smiles and perky instagram posts everyday makes me even more better.

Anyways, here are my Top 5 things I will never forget so far about her:

1. Amaya
Marian won several awards and accolades including Favorite TV Actress on 2011 KZONE Awards, Best Actress in a Prime Time Television Series on NSSUA Awards, and for the first time as Best Actress in Golden Screen TV Awards in 2013. On the same year, she also won in her second Best Actress award for the same show at the 2013 Northwest Samar State University Annual Awards. The series is also promoted by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines and Department of Education due to its cultural concept that shows and depicts the Filipino material culture, beliefs, traditions and mores in the Pre-Hispanic era.

2. A volunteer
She is a known volunteer in Philippine Red Cross team. Marian, together with former senator Dick Gordon waded through floodwaters to get to the area in Ta talon where around 500 families have sought refuge from the floods caused by the non-stop rains. She stated that helping out the victims is her 28th birthday gift to herself. She also said that she didn’t mind getting wet and tired during the mission, as she says it was a small sacrifice compared to the hardships that the victims are experiencing.

3. Sexiest Woman in the World!
This makes Marian only the fourth woman to twice become our Nation's Finest. And if you're a trivia-hoarder, then get this: Marian is also only the second FHM Babe to reclaim the coveted title five years after she first won it (the first was Angel Locsin, who bagged it in '05 and '10).

4. Caviteña!
Marian is a true-blue Cavitena. She is accused over a thousand times of being straightforward, tactless and confrontation. Behind her sweet and charming looks is a quick-tongued toughie who will fight until the end. She wasn't Darna for nothing, right?

5. Marimar
The show became the highest-rated primetime show on Philippine television at that time and made Rivera rose to an instant fame. She was honored also by the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Inc. as Phenomenal TV Star in the 38th Box-Office Entertainment Awards in 2008. The year proved to be her year as she won numerous awards for her work in the show, as well as several product endorsements. She was also named as the country’s sexiest woman by FHM magazine, and was also included in the 'hottest' list of other magazines like Maxim and Uno.
