Marian Rivera renews GMA 7 contract

Marian Rivera renews GMA 7 contract

Marian Rivera ended months of speculation as to whether she will remain a Kapuso or move to another network by renewing her contract with GMA 7 on Saturday, Aug. 10, at the Manila Golf and Country Club in Forbes Park, Makati.

She renewed her contract for another three years in the presence of GMA-7 Chair and CEO Felipe Gozon and GMA-7 Pres. and COO Gilbert Duavit Jr.

Rams David, president of Triple A, which manages her career, told Yahoo! Philippines OMG! in a phone conversation that  Marian is slated to do a soap, a sitcom and talk show with GMA 7, and that she’s wrapping up a hosting workshop the company is giving her.

Since Marian’s birthday is only two days away, the network executives gave her a birthday cake and Gozon, tongue-in-cheek said he wishes her “success and a good married life” as she turns a year older.

Marian and boyfriend Dingdong Dantes said in previous interviews however, that although they have talked about marriage, tying the knot is not in their immediate plans for now.

"Masaya ako na pumirma ulit ako sa GMA 7 dahil kung wala sila, walang Marian Rivera," the Kapuso actress said.

Marian is a homegrown GMA artist. She got her first break in the network’s remake of the Mexican series “Marimar,” where she played the title role. The show was a big hit and made Marian a household name.

Yahoo OMG’s Celebrity of the Year went on to do “Dyesebel” and “Amaya,” a historical fiction which is said to be the  most expensive Philippine series so far, for GMA.

She also made a couple of projects for GMA Films, like “You To Me Are Everything” and “My Lady Boss.”
