Marian Rivera was the personal and first choice by the family of the late Mars Ravelo. According to the siblings Ruby and Zaldy Ravelo, Marian was the only actress that they knew who could give justice and would definitely suit the character of DARNA. “Marian has a different kind of charisma. Children and even guys really liked her a lot; she has an extreme audience and viewers appeal no wonder she is now a big star.”
