Winners of "PEP-a-Wish Promo," Sheila Dela Paz (left) and Irene Lu (right).

Sheila, whose PEPster ID is timito, said she joined the contest because of her kid, "Actually, para sa anak ko iyon...sa bunso ko, kay Timmy. Kasi favorite niya si Marimar. Sabi niya, gusto niya makita si Marimar," she said.

But Sheila was unable to bring her young son because of a fever that occurred a few days before the set visit. Instead, she brought along her husband Edgar.

Irene, a manager for an insurance company, initially planned bringing her husband.

"Nag-chicken out bigla. Dapat siya yung kasama ko dahil siya yung fanatic. Eh, kaso, yung magaling kong asawa, nahihiyang humarap kay Marian, kasi he had an operation two years ago. Nagkaroon siya ng facial weakness. So, sabi niya, ang panget daw niya at haharap daw siya kay Marian. So, nahiya siya," Irene narrated.

Irene, whose PEPster ID is autumn2000, brought her equally excited mother Lucia.

The experience also gave them the chance to anchor the promo's webisode. For first-timers, they didn't look amateurish at all. In fact, the director said, "Magaling sila."

Aside form anchoring a webisode, they were also asked to interview their idols. Here, they were thinking up three questions.

Sheila wrote down hers, while Irene switched on her pensive mood.

Now here's Katrina Halili sans her kontrabida character, Angelika.

She was memorizing her lines while a hairstylist was getting her hair done.

Contrary to her role in Marimar, Katrina Halili was very accommodating. She even spent time chatting with Irene and Sheila.

"Actually, hindi na nga ako nakatulog niyan. Obvious ba sa mata ko?" Sheila told PEP before meeting Marian Rivera.

"Hindi talaga ako makatulog. Excited, at the same time, kinakahabahan ako. Nanginginig ako, kasi first time ko na makikita si Marian. 'Di ba sa TV lang at sa magazines? Ngayon, personal ko siyang makikita at makaka-usap ko pa."

When she finally saw Marian, Sheila was so overwhelmed that she cried right there and then.
