MOVIE WITH DINGDONG. Aside from Dyesebel, Marian will be paired with Dingdong in the movie titled One True Love, which was originally called Amnesia. It was first reported that the movie will be directed by Maryo J. de los Reyes, but he has been replaced by Mac Alejandre.

This would also be different from the TV projects they did together, Marimar and Dyesebel. Marian explained, "Actually, heavy drama talaga, sobrang heavy drama. Actually, nag-usap kami ni Direk Mac noong isang araw, sabi niya, ‘Yan-yan [her nickname for people close to her], iba-ibang klaseng iyak ang gagawin mo dito—may teary-eyed, mayroon talagang nagwawala, mayrooong tahimik lang, mayroong sakit lang.'"

The movie will be a love triangle between Marian, Dingdong, and Iza Calzado. Iza is one of the reasons Marian is excited to do this movie. She said, "Excited din akong makatrabaho si Iza kasi magaling din, e. Alam mo 'yon, magaling umiyak, matsa-challenge ka rin talaga."

She added, "At saka first time din namin ni Dong. Puro kami soap opera magkasama, first time lang na movie. So, excited din talaga."

During the interview, Marian also enumerated some of the projects that she is scheduled do in the coming months—most of which are product endorsements. However, she refused to reveal these yet because she has no idea about the plans for them.

ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM. With all these blessings that she is receiving, what else does Marian wish for her birthday?

She answered, "Gusto ko na palagi akong masaya kasi importante sa akin ang pagiging masaya. At saka sana mas mahalin ako ng mga tao sa pagiging ako. Kasi gusto ko 'yong sarili ko sa pagiging ako, e.

"Kahit pa sabihin nila na, ‘'Yan si Marian, naku, palaban iyan, bungangera 'yan...' I don't care, basta ako, totoo ako sa sarili ko, na ito ako. Naipapakita ko sa inyo kung sino ako kesa naman sa wala ngang nasasabi sa 'yo, pero hindi naman totoo 'yon.

"Gusto ko na 'yong, sige, pintasan n'yo na ako, pulaan n'yo na ako, okay na 'yon. Basta ang importante sa akin, ako, hindi ako naninira ng kapwa ko, masaya na ako doon."
