“Kakaibang Marian Rivera ang mapapanood sa 2024 Cinemalaya entry na #Balota. Sobrang malapit daw sa puso ng Kapuso Primetime Queen ang proyektong ito kaya naman talagang all-out siya sa mga eksena sa naturang pelikula!” it added. 

In the photo, Marian can be seen wearing a teacher’s uniform, appearing grimy with blood stains on her face, giving a glimpse of what the movie is about. Netizens noted that even though she looks disheveled, her beauty still stands out. Even actress and politician Aiko Melendez commented on the photo.

“Ang ganda pa dn niya,” she said. 

Here are the netizens’ comments:

“Kahit gusgusin lutang parin Ang Ganda ni Queen Marian Rivera.”

“No make up Pero maganda padin Sana all”

“Maganda pa rin siya, nasan ang hustisya.”

“Sana all na lang talaga. Kahit ganyan hitsura niya maganda pa din. Ako naligo na, nagmake up na’t lahat mukha pa din gusgusin.”

“The picture says all.. Inambush mga tagabantay balota mukhang maganda nga..”

“Ang ganda pa din ni Marian kahit madungis pag ako yan napagkamalan na akong taong grasa.”

“Walang nagbago idol marian. Nadumihan lang. Yung ganda di na mabawasan.”

“Nasaan ang hustisya bakit ang ganda pa rin niya!”

After a showbiz hiatus due to giving birth to their youngest, Sixto, Marian has been incredibly busy. Besides the blockbuster success of her comeback movie “Rewind,” she also starred in the comeback fantasy series “My Guardian Alien,” where she was paired with veteran actor Gabby Concepcion.

Why is Marian Rivera still gorgeous despite being a mother of two and a wife?

Marian’s continued beauty despite being a mother and wife can be attributed to several factors:

  1. Genetics and Natural Beauty: Marian Rivera possesses natural beauty and good genes, which play a significant role in her appearance. She was born in Madrid, Spain to Francisco Javier Gracia Alonso, a Spaniard, and Amalia Rivera, a Filipino from Cavite, so technically, she’s a half-Spanish half-Filipina. 
  1. Healthy Lifestyle: Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep contributes to her youthful look and overall well-being.
  1. Skincare Routine: A consistent and effective skincare routine helps in maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Many celebrities invest time and resources in professional skincare treatments.
  1. Positive Mindset: A positive attitude and mental well-being significantly affect one’s appearance. Stress management and a happy personal life can contribute to looking youthful and vibrant. 
  1. Professional Support: Access to professional stylists, makeup artists, and personal trainers helps in enhancing and maintaining her beauty. 
  1. Self-care and Personal Time: Prioritizing self-care and making time for oneself, despite the responsibilities of motherhood and marriage, is crucial for personal upkeep. 
  1. Supportive Environment: Having a supportive family and spouse can positively impact mental and emotional health, reflecting on one’s appearance.
