Marian Rivera is simply grateful and excited as her newest business venture, Wonder Society, officially opens its doors to the public.
The Kapuso Primetime Queen, together with co-founder Myka Sy, soft-launched the exclusive, invite-only children’s playhouse and learning hub in November 2025.
Located on the 6th floor of Greenhills Mall, Wonder Society marked its grand opening on April 21, 2026.
Sharing her excitement, Marian said,: "Sabi nga namin, e, very excited kami na i-share 'tong space na 'to na punung-puno ng, alam mo yun, ng saya... yung mga bata magiging creative.
"Tapos ito yung mga bonding moments nila na magkakaroon ng maraming kaibigan. So, talagang dito gagawin ang mga memories nila na talagang ie-enjoy nila."
Since its soft launch, Marian said they have been overwhelmed by positive feedback from parents and children alike.
"Nakakatuwa kasi ang daming mga magagandang feedback kung paano yung ginagawa nung mga anak niya, ano yung feeling ng mga anak niya."
MARIAN RIVERA: INNOVATIONS AT WONDER SOCIETY
Following months of operations, the team introduced several improvements and new offerings to elevate the experience.
Apart from expanding their interactive play areas with additional play pens, Wonder Society now features more structured learning activities—from baking and arts to basic household tasks.
A key addition is the presence of professionals guiding the children throughout the sessions.
Marian shared, "Ngayon, nagdagdag tayo na talagang meron tayong mga totoong chef. May mga chef...
"May mga teachers na talaga tayo dito. So, talagang hindi lang siya maglalaro."

The learning hub also integrates technology to ensure both engagement and safety.
Marian revealed that parents are given access to an exclusive app, which includes a “passport” that tracks each child’s activities and allows them to monitor their kids remotely in real time.
"Sa bawat bata, bibigyan namin ng passport. Tapos malalaman mo kung anong mga activity na ginawa nung bata... naka-record ito.
"At the same time, example yung anak mo may plus one, bibigyan ka namin ng access sa CCTV para ma-monitor mo yung anak mo kahit wala ka."
For Marian, innovation was one of the main reasons she decided to be part of the project when it was first pitched to her by Myka.
"Nag-start to kasi si Myka, yung friend ko, sabi niya, 'Mayroon akong naiisip... Ang gusto kong involve dito yung mga parents na talagang super hands-on at saka makaka-relate sa akin.'
"Sabi ko, 'Sige, bigyan kita ng time.'
"And then, nag-usap kami. Sinabi niya sa akin yung concept at ang sabi ko, 'Ang ganda.'
"Parang ito yata yung kailangan natin ngayon. Yung space na yung mga bata ay hindi lang makakapaglaro pero matututo rin, at the same time may lounge kasi kami for the parents.
"So habang naglalaro yung mga kids, puwede ding mag-relax or magtrabaho yung nanay doon sa aming lounge.
"So, nung ginawa yun, sabi ko, 'Ah, okay, heto na talaga yun.'"
She added, "Nakakatuwa kasi yung mga bagay, mga activities na hinahanap natin para sa mga anak natin ay meron sa Wonder Society.
"At siyempre, yung mga innovations na nai-offer namin."
While she considers Wonder Society as her “baby,” Marian said that she still has a personal favorite spot inside the playhouse.
"Sabihin na lang natin na yung area siguro doon sa craft at saka doon sa baking. Kasi yung mga anak ko, yun yung isa sa pinaka-favorite na nagbe-bake sila."
