Carla Abellana vs Marian Rivera

Every time the face of Carla Abellana is seen on TV or any ads she is compared to another pinay celebrity who looks like just her.  One of the most common look alike is none other than our Kapuso star Marian Rivera.   Just a glimpse of Carla Abellana you would already say she looks like Marian Rivera, true they have similarities most especially in beauty  but they are totally different when it comes into character and acting craftsmanship.   According to some tabloids they have labeled Marian Rivera as “beauting Malandi” while Carla Abellana as “Mukhang Sosyal”, would you agree?
