Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera is thrilled with the overwhelming support for her film ‘Balota,’ where she stars as Teacher Emmy.
The actress shared that the film’s impact, especially on young viewers and students, has given her a unique sense of fulfillment.
In a recent media interview, Marian expressed her gratitude for the positive feedback, particularly from younger audiences who found inspiration and realizations in the film. “Ang dami, parang sinasabi nila ang dami nilang realization doon sa pelikula at nakakatuwa dahil itong mga ito ay mga bata talaga, mga estudyante,” Marian said.
She also thanked educators for encouraging students to watch ‘Balota,’ acknowledging the vital role they play in spreading the film’s message.
For Marian, ‘Balota’ provided a distinct and deeply rewarding experience, standing out among her past projects. “Malaki. Sabi ko nga, ang hirap ikumpara ‘yung mga nagawa kong pelikula pero isa siguro si Balota na masasabi ko na, noong ginawa ko siya, ‘yung fulfillment na naramdaman ko noong ginagawa ko siya, at noong natapos ko siya, at noong pinanood ko na siya sa sinehan, iba pa rin ‘yung fulfillment na nakuha ko doon, na parang sinabi ko, ‘Ay, pwede pa lang ganito.’,” she explained.
Reflecting on her career, Marian shared that ‘Balota’ has inspired her to seek out roles that offer meaningful contributions to viewers’ lives. “Masarap gumawa ng isang proyekto na kapag gumagawa ka, buong buo ‘yung loob mo at alam mong may mako-contribute ka din sa mga manonood. Parang ngayon na-realize ko na sa bawat gagawin ko siguro, gusto ko talaga na kapag nanonood ‘yung mga tao sa akin, may nako-contribute ako sa buhay nila habang pinapanood nila,” she added.
