It's a double blessing for TV host-actress Mariel Rodriguez as she gets the opportunity to work on ABS-CBN's newest fantasy series Komiks Presents: Mars Ravelo's Varga. She will not only play the lead role, but she will also have the chance to work with boyfriend Zanjoe Marudo.
"I'm so happy. I love it!" exclaimed Mariel during the press conference of Varga last night, July 28, at the 9501 restaurant of ABS-CBN.
The young TV host-actress said she's grateful to have Varga because she never thought of playing the role of a superhero.
"Actually, we never thought it's possible so it was too high to even dream of. Parang ganun, never kong naisip na magiging superhero ako. So when they told me about it, we're so grateful talaga. When they told me about it, I wanted to do it na kaagad and talagang na-excite ako," said Mariel
For this role, the 24-year-old TV host-actress underwent several trainings to give justice to her character. "We had training for martial arts," said Mariel "'Tapos nag-go through kami ni Angel [Sy, playing the role of young Olga] ng workshop."
She also said, "Sa costume, parang nagpapayat ako ng konti kasi ayaw ko naman na lait-laitin ninyo ako, kung anu-ano ang sabihin ninyo, di ba? Honestly, 'yon ang totoo.
"Noong ginagawa ko na siya, naiisip ko na agad, ‘Ay, It's hard.' It's not easy ha, being a superhero. Really, kasi minsan naiisip mo, ‘Wow, superhero!' Hindi, a, kasi sa costume pa lang naiisip mo, ‘My gosh, bakit hindi na lang ako naging tindera? Kasi kung tindera ako, normal lang naman.' Pero iba, e, worth it siya."
WORKING WITH HER "INSPIRATION." Another reason for Mariel to be happy is her boyfriend Zanjoe Marudo, who is her leading man in Varga. Mariel said that this is a bonus for her.
She said, "I think, masaya na ako originally. I really wanna do the project, 'tapos naging plus na nandiyan pa si Zanjoe. So masaya 'yong kapag nandiyan sa taping, masaya."
The host-actress also admitted that Zanjoe is her inspiration during their tapings.
"It's true pala, parang you can really use it as an inspiration. Kasi siyempre ayaw mong mapahiya sa isang eksena, so gagalingan mo. 'Yong mga lines, ime-memorize mo kasi ayaw mong mapahiya."
During the press conference, a small birthday surprise was given to Zanjoe, who turned 26 last July 23. Mariel told the media that an intimate surprise dinner in Shangri-La was also organized for Zanjoe on his actual birthday.
On that day, Mariel gave her boyfriend a Canon 450D as a birthday present. She got the idea when Zanjoe once told her that he was planning to buy a camera in time for the concert of his group Cover Boys in the U.S.
"Nagulat siya," narrated Mariel. "Sabi niya, ‘Kailangan kong bumili ng camera sa States. Hindi, dapat dito pa lang bumili na ako para mag-picture ako sa airport pa lang.' So, nagkaroon ako ng ideya."
Aside from her gift, The Entertainment Live host also promised Zanjoe: "Siguro dapat tumahimik ako ng konti. Ang daldal ko kasi, e. Kuwento ako nang kuwento, so dapat manahimik ako minsan."
