Marian Rivera shared that she is inspired by the women around her
Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera shared this inspiring message for her fellow women on International Women’s Month.
Marian is one of the most admired female celebrities in the Philippine entertainment industry. The number of her social media followers can attest to this. Her life as an actress, a wife to her husband Primetime King Dingdong Dantes, and as a mother to their children Zia and Sixto, is an inspiration to many of her fans.
In a recent interview, based on the article in GMA Entertainment, Marian was asked who are the inspiring women for her, in line with the world’s celebration of International Women’s Month.
Marian Rivera said that she is surrounded by inspiring women in her life. These women are her role models because she can learn a lot from them.
“Lahat ng nakapalibot sa akin ay mabubuting mga kababaihan ay ‘yung dahilan kung bakit siguro ako naging matatag ngayon. Ang dami, nanay ko, lola ko, Mommy ni Dong, Tita ni Dong, si Zia. Alam mo lahat sila na nasa paligid ko ay nagbibigay ng inspirasyon talaga sa akin,” the Kapuso Primetime Queen said.
When asked to give her message to her fellow women, the actress pointed out the importance of self-love of taking care of one’s self.
“Manatili kayong matatag, manatili kayong maganda, mahalin niyo ‘yung sarili niyo at wag n’yong pababayaan kasi alam mo, at the end of the day, kailangan mahal muna natin nang buo ‘yung sarili natin bago tayo magmahal ng iba,” Marian stressed.
Indeed, Marian continues to receive love from her fans and supporters, especially after receiving recent acting recognition. She was praised by movie critics because of her superb portrayal of a teacher who guarded a ballot box with her life in the movie Balota.
Because of this, she received acting awards from several award-giving bodies and the latest one was a Best Actress trophy from the 10th Southeast Asian Achievement Awards.
Marian Rivera admitted that she was overwhelmed by this recognition because she thought that awards already stopped last year but this 2025, she still received an acting award trophy.
