Maricel Soriano exuded positivity last night, March 11, as she discussed her new show with TV5. The Diamond Star is the first artist to be featured in TV5's anthology show titled 5-Star Specials. This primetime show will be aired every Monday starting March 22.
"Ang feeling ko, artista ako!" she told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) and selected members of the press gathered at Mario's restaurant on Tomas Morato, Quezon City last night, March 11. "I feel like a star who is very important. It's so nice...ang sarap ng pakiramdam. Maraming salamat sa TV5 sa pagkupkop n'yo sa akin. Siyempre, blessing ito. Nagpapasalamat ako at sobrang excited ako.
She added, "Dito sa special ng TV5, iba't iba ang gagawin ko. May comedy, may drama, may suspense-horror, love story. Parang Maricel Drama Special [ABS-CBN drama anthology] na ginawa ko nung araw...na tumagal ng 10 years."
What made her decide to do a project outside of ABS-CBN?
"Sabi nga nila, habang tumatagal ang panahon, it's nice na tanggapin natin ang change nang bukas sa kalooban natin. Mahirap i-apply 'yan...parang foundation, pag puyat ka, mahirap kumapit. Pero pag bukas ang isip mo at bukas ang puso mo, especially pag mahal mo ang trabaho mo, meron tayong respeto, dedikasyon at pagmamahal, hindi magiging mahirap yun."
Maricel said that she did not burn bridges when she signed up with TV5.
"Kapamilya ako, di ba, for the longest time? May mga pinagsamahan tayong lahat...maliit lang ang mundong ginagalawan natin. In good faith naman lahat," she said.
How did she say goodbye to the executives of the Kapamilya Network?
"I did not say goodbye," she clarified. "Wala naman itong goodbye. In the meantime, ito muna ang gagawin ko. Puwede naman tayo gumawa ulit. Umiikot lang naman ang mundo."
When asked if ABS-CBN presented a counter-offer to her, Maricel simply said, "Hindi naging complicated sa akin ang situation. Naging smooth sailing lahat."
Did she have any hesitation in accepting the offer of TV5?
"I consider everything as a blessing. Smooth sailing lahat. Pag nagdadasal ka at bukas ang puso mo sa lahat, naging maganda at maayos, walang kagalit. Ang suwerte-suwerte ko kaya lagi akong nagpapasalamat."
ON HER TALENT FEE. Members of the press curiously asked Maricel regarding her talent fee in the Manny Pangilinan-owned TV station.
"Magiging ganito ba ang face ko kung hindi ako well-compensated? It's written all over my face!" exclaimed Maricel. "Wala nang figures! Ang importante masaya tayo, di ba? I'm very happy."
Is there a chance for Maricel and Dolphy to star in one project? The Comedy King has also signed a non-exclusive contract with TV5.
God Bless TV5..
at maging masaya tayo dahil may bagong kompanya na makakapagbigay ng maraming trabaho sa mga Pinoy.

tama ka jan..dati walang payabangan ang mga networks..pero umusad lang ang ABS sobra ng mgmayabang. ngclaimed na sila na daw ang no.1 network as if forever na un..dati naman both networks pinapanood namin not until sumobra ang kayabangan ng ABS-CBN minsan di na accurate ang data na binibigay sa viewers. come to think of it, may point si annabel rama na ubod ng yabang ni kris aquino.. what do u expect? tga- abs cbn sya hehehehe
Maricel Soriano is indeed an example of how a TRUE ARTIST continues to evolve more perfectly through the years -- both inside and out.
HAIL TO THE QUEEN!
Pagtuunan lang ng TV-5 ang kanilang nasasakop na lugar at palinawina ng kanilang signal, tapos gawa sila ng mga movies for international competition, at palawakin ang promotion at siguradong mababawasan ng kayabangan ang ABS-CBN.

On the contrary, sila Dolphy and Maricel Soriano ang nagpasikat sa ABS-CBN. Hindi pa umaariba ang ABS-CBN noon at ng dahil sa Home Along Da Riles and Maricel Drama Special ay nakupo ng ABS-CBN ang primetime viewership.
Maraming pinataob na shows sina Dolphy and Maricel. Hindi naman naginvest ang ABS kina Dolphy and Maricel dahil bigating artista na ang dalawa ng kunin ng ABS-CBN ang serbisyo nila. Pati si Mother Lily ay sinuportahan ang ABS-CBN through Regal Films vs. Viva na kaalyado naman ng GMA-7.
EH unti unti ng nawawala ang matatanda sa ABS kase gusto nila puro bata na.
Sana wala na kasing exclusive mas maganda pa yun like sa case ni Ryan meron syang sa 2,5 and 7
she is a very good actress. as in very good and wla tlga akong maisip n pwedeng sumunod s knya. sna bgyan p rin sya ng ABS ng movie and tv projects...
God bless the Queen...

ako hindi happy person? Have you seen me na ba? hahahaha
You gotta ba kidding. Kung makita mo ang comments ko may pattern. I am just simply contradicting comments na di naman dapat.
Like yung isa jan nagpost galing daw sa PDI.
You are barking at the wrong tree.
I wouldn't give countercomments kung walang nagreact.
But to say na hindi ako happy person is totally absord because after i leave in any website, i focus on what i do.
Anyway, Maricel... good luck.
May contract walang project... pero pag expired na ang contract that's the time na aalis na sila.
Mostly ano ba ginawa ng iba like Heart, Marvin, Bayani, hinayaan nila muna ng ilang months from the time na nag expired ang contract bago lumipat sila.
Malamang kay Maricel tapos na contract nya saka siya lumipat.
