Medyo maluwag siguro ang schedule ni Marian Rivera noong gabi ng March 13 kaya nagkaroon sila ng time ni Ervic Vijandre na mamasyal sa Greenbelt, Makati.

And who is Ervic Vijandre?

Sa cover story ng YES! magazine, January 2008 issue, page 82, paragraphs 6 and 7 sa last column, nakalagay ang ganito:

"Marian admits that, before making it in show business, she had already been through three relationships. Her third boyfriend, an athlete who plays baseball for the Philippine national team, was the longest and the most serious relationship she has had so far.

"'Six years kami,'" she smiles, without giving us the guy's name. 'Ever since third year high school pa lang ako, kilala na niya ako. Hanggang nag-college ako, siya ‘yong boyfriend ko.'"

Mga November 2007 nang ma-interview si Marian ng YES!, ayon kay Anna Pingol, ang associate editor ng magazine. At nang mga panahon na yun, famously loveless—to quote YES!—si Marian. At ang dahilan: ang pagiging napaka-busy niya sa trabaho.

"Hindi na nga ako natutulog, paano pa ako magbo-boyfriend?" natatawang banggit noon ni Marian.

Pero sa last part ng 15-page cover story on Marian, ganito ang nakasaad:

Is there a good candidate for Mr. Love-me-for-what-I-am?

"Hmmm, actually, siya," she smiles.

Who?

With a bit of mischief in her eyes, she says: "Si six years."

So, sino pa nga ba si Six Years kundi si Ervic Vijandre, na una naming na-encounter nang pini-pictorial siya ng Mercator Modeling Agency sa Makati almost a year ago. Standing 6'1", model wannabe si Ervic, na tipong pang-jeans and underwear ang concept ng pictorial sa kanya.

Parehong La Sallista sina Ervic at Marian. Graduate sa La Salle Taft si Ervic samantalang sa La Salle Dasmariñas naman nakatapos si Marian.

Naalala nga pala namin ang aming pakikipag-chika kay Marian a month ago noong launching niya as Karimadon endorser. When asked about her lovelife, nag-beg off siya. Gusto raw niyang "may matira pang konting privacy" tungkol sa buhay niya.
