Tarot has been graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board

Last week, Marian Rivera received a sweet gift from Dingdong Dantes: his presence at her birthday party even though he was tired from a rehearsal earlier that night. During this event, Dingdong and Marian were photographed as they looked like a couple very much in love. (Click HERE to read related article.)


During the premiere of Tarot last night, August 24, at SM Megamall, PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) was able to ask Marian regarding the said pictures.


"Siguro nasa lugar naman kung bakit nangyari ang mga pangyayaring iyon. Bilang birthday ko yun at wala kaming ginagawang masama," says Marian.


"Hindi kami nagde deny at wala kaming sinasabi. What you see is what you get. Ganun na lang siguro."

Nelson Canlas of GMA News commented that Marian looks very much in love. To this, Marian simply replied, "Thank you!"

The reporter then said that Dingdong looks very much in love with her as well. Marian quipped: "Why not?"

Will they be announcing their relationship any time soon? "Wala na siguro kasi ang importante, kaming dalawa ang nagkakaintidihan sa mga bagay-bagay."

Does she consider Dingdong to be her partner? "Partner sa lahat ng bagay," she said with a sweet smile.

Is Dingdong her boyfriend already? "Wag na ganun. Basta happy kami."

What is keeping her from announcing the true status of their relationship? "Wala namang pumipigil sa amin pero mas pinili namin na maging tahimik na lang sa mga pangyayari. Bilang artista kami, lahat sobrang public na. So itong time na ito, kung anong meron kami, sa amin na lang yun. Basta happy kami."


GRADE A FILM. Marian has another reason to smile about because PEP just found out that the Jun Lana film Tarot has been graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board.

Marian arrived early that night while her onscreen partner Dennis Trillo arrived midway during the movie since he came from a taping of his GMA-7 TV series Adik Sa‘Yo.

Roxanne Guinoo, another major character of the film, was unable to attend that night because she had a taping for Everybody Hapi, her sitcom on TV5. The actress is cast as Faye, a friend of Cara (Marian) who betrayed her trust.

Also present that night were other supporting cast members Alwyn Uytingco and Niña Jose. Are You the Next Big Star runner-up Alex Castro also lent his support for the horror film.

In the film Tarot, Cara (Marian Rivera) has the ability to predict the future using a set of Tarot cards that she got from her grandmother (played by Gloria Romero). Unfortunately, using the deck of cards entails grave consequences that affect her and her loved ones.

When her fiancé Miguel (Dennis Trillo) goes missing, Cara uses her gift but little did she know that it would lead to a series of catastrophes in her family.

Find out how Cara and Miguel will break the curse of the haunted Tarot cards.

Tarot is rated PG-13 by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board. Since it is graded A by the Cinema Evaluation Board, the producers are entitled to a 100-percent rebate on amusement taxes.


This horror film produced by Regal Entertainment will open in cinemas nationwide (including SM cinemas) starting tomorrow, August 26.
