Kapuso Stars

Ito ang mapapansin sa lumalabas na video footage ng pagtataray ni Marian Rivera sa Internet.

Tipong ’yung nag-provoke na lalaki sa unahan ni Marian para bastusin at sagutin ng pabalang ang aktres ay may kakutsaba pa sa likuran na kumukuha rin ng video footage.

Sakto! Panalo ’yung nag-provoke kay Marian para magtaray. Ayun na nga, nai-post na nila sa YouTube ang pang-aasar, pambabastos nila sa tinatagurian ngayong phenomenal superstar ng kanyang henerasyon.

Eh, may Santo-Kristo man sa dibdib si Marian, ke may buntot man si Dyesebel, aba, kapag ganu’n ang set-up, ipo-provoke ka, babastusin ka, sasagutin ka ng pabalang-balang, well, talagang mabubuhay nga si Gabriela Silang sa katauhan ni Marian, tsuk!

And the height, nakipagbati pa raw kinabukasan ’yung lalaking nag-provoke, nambastos at sumagot ng pabalang-balang sa aktres, ha! Kapal!

Dapat siguro, Mike Enriquez, imbestigahan mo kung ano ang purpose o motive o kung may bad intention ang lalaking ’yon at kung sino ang kakutsaba nito at kung sino ang nag-utos sa kanila o kung ’yon ba ay isang modus operandi para ibenta sa YouTube at pagka-perahan. ’Yon na!

Kaya sa mga big name star or big name celeb, ingat lang at baka kayo naman ang maging biktima ng frame-up or set-up tulad ng nangyari kay Marian.

Parang hindi nalalayo sa mga eksena ngayon sa telefantasyang Dyesebel, kung saan dahil sa selos, naglagay ng hidden camera si Betty (Bianca King ) sa office ni Fredo (Dingdong Dantes) para malaman kung may babae ito.

Nagkataong lasing si Fredo at papasok naman si Dyesebel (Marian). Magyayakapan at maghahalikan ang dalawa.

Presto, huli ng hidden camera!

There have been many mermaid stories, so how does Mars Ravelo's Dyesebel differ from the old tales which have been an engaging element of our folklore? And how do the people behind the GMA version make theirs stand out as unique? The writers of Mars Ravelo’s Dyesebel give you an in depth account of Dyesebel’s culture. Let us join Dyesebel and learn more about her world, their culture, and traditions.

Under the sea

The Dyesebels of the past have always concentrated on the love story between Fredo and Dyesebel. There have been many remakes of this love story and most scenes have been confined to the beach and in the mortal’s world. But this time around, GMA wants us to have an idea of what Dyesebel’s world is really like.

“Kung ano 'yung hindi pa napapakita ng mermaid stories dito sa Pilipinas, yun yung ipapakita namin, so basically 'yung mundo nila. May culture sila, kung paano sila magtinda, kung paano mag-exchange ng money, 'yung traditions nila," say the writers of Dyesebel, Kit Villanueva-Langit, Arlene Navarro-Punio and Dodie Cruz.

They have also disclosed that they made the characters of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera as different as possible from their previous characters in Marimar.

“Actually challenge talaga siya sa lahat. Hindi lang sa creative, sa production, even sa kanilang dalawa," admits the writers of the show.

Indeed they wanted to give us something new to watch. Aside from the usual mermaid story that we have been introduced to by one of the most successful graphic novelist in the Philippines, Mars Ravelo, we are now given a vision of what Dyesebel’s world is like under the sea.

The story of Dyesebel

Interpreting a classic like Dyesebel is a big challenge to both the actors and creative team of the network. Aside from the fact that this particular mermaid story is close to the hearts of the Filipinos, many remakes of this story have already been presented to the Filipino viewers.

“Maraming nadagdag doon sa dating Dyesebel na mermaid story, pero nandoon pa rin naman 'yung dynamics ni Fredo at Dyesebel," assured one of the writers.

Aside from the two main characters, the introduction of the merworld naturally brings in new characters in the story. Berbola, Bukanding, Erebus, Usaro are few of the underwater creatures added in Dyesebel’s world.

Together they give us a new aspect in Dyesebel’s story and give more color and flavor to the tale that we all have come to love.
