She has projects left and right. Her married status and motherhood were initially perceived to be roadblocks to her successful career. But these have not hindered her showbiz journey at all. Her newfound status as a family woman has opened more doors for the superstar from the Kapuso Network. Marian Rivera Gracia Dantes, who has turned 33 last August 12, was recently hailed by De La Salle Araneta University as among the year’s Most Outstanding Media Communicators in the Philippines. She is honored to have received the Zeal for La Sallian Excellence in Media Award because she is a La Salle alumna herself. She is a BA Psychology graduate from De La Salle University Dasmariñas in Cavite. She capped her Instagram appreciation post for Gawad Lasallianeta 2017 with a #ProudToBeLaSallian hashtag.

She expressed gratitude for the International Education Circle - International Center for Communication Studies (ICCS) for naming her as one of the country’s top endorsers. She stands out as the only married celebrity and mother among the Most Influential Female Endorsers of the Year list which includes Kathryn Bernardo, Maine Mendoza, Liza Soberano, Pia Wurtzbach, and Nadine Lustre. Indeed, Marian is still a trusted and in-demand ambassadress for various beauty products, cooking ingredients, food, drinks, and clothes, among others. Her endorsement deals continue to flourish. She shares these projects with husband Dingdong Dantes whom she married in 2014. She has an additional endorsement partner in her mini-me, daughter Maria Letizia.

She takes on a lighter role the day after as host, performer, and even comedian in the variety program Sunday PinaSaya. Just as of late, she has returned to the GMA Telebabad timeslot.

This time, she is history teacher Binibining Minerva Henerala and Super Ma’am, the alter ego with super powers. “Na-miss ko din maging superhero,” Marian shares in a GMANetwork.com interview. “Na-miss ko ‘yung mga fight scenes na ginagawa din namin. Sabi ko nga, parang ang daming flashback sa akin kapag nakikipag-fight scene ako.” INSIDE SHOWBIZ WEEKLY OCTOBER 2017 Super Ma’am has already made waves online after landing in the Social Wit List Top 10 for September 2017.

Kailangan lamang ng tamang impormasyon, puso at pagpapahalaga sa kapwa,” she wrote on Instagram as she posted photos of YPF Go Bags that are aimed to be sent to kids in disaster-prone areas.
