In the 38th Box Office Entertainment Awards ceremony hosted by the Guillermo Mendoza Scholarship Foundation, Inc., the Primetime Queen Marian Rivera grabbed the Most Promising Female Star Award, the Face of the Night Award and the Phenomenal TV Star Award making her the most-awarded star of the night.

When PEP asked how she feels after receiving 3 trophies, she said “Ay, utang na loob ko itong lahat sa mga fans ko na nagsusuporta at tumutulong sa akin. Basta ako, iniaalay ko ang award ko sa lahat ng taong naniniwala at nagmamahal sa akin.”

And when asked about the possibility of winning the “Box-Office Queen” title next year, she said, “Ang hirap kasing magsabi na next year, ganito na ‘ko. Siguro kung ano lang ang ibinibigay sa akin. Sa ngayon, sobra-sobra ang ibinibigay sa akin ni Lord. At masaya ‘ko na maraming tao ang nagmamahal sa akin. Yun lang, masayang-masaya na ‘ko.”

Technically, Marian’s movie with Richard Gutierrez last February “My Bestfriend’s Girlfriend” remains the top-grossing movie so far and the only movie to surpass the PhP 100 million barrier from January 2008 to date (with the exception of MMFF movies which were all released in 2007).

If ever her next movie “Amnesia” with Dingdong Dantes and Iza Calzado duplicates BFGF’s feat and also surpass the P100 million mark, then i guess it’s safe to assume that Marian Rivera is a shoo-in for the Box-office queen award.

And when asked about the intriguing question that she’s taking away Angel Locsin’s endorsements, she said “Hayan na naman. Bilang isang artista, bilang isang kinukuhang talent para sa isang commercial, ang manager ko ang nakikipag-usap. Wala akong alam sa ganoong bagay. Basta ang importante sa akin, ino-offer sa akin. Ginagawa namin at masaya ako na nagtitiwala sila sa akin.”
