Marian Rivera to Reclaim ‘Primetime Queen’ Title in Darna?

cd — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 02:19:26 +0000

Darna’s pilot episode is on Monday, August 10. Will it be Marian Rivera’s 3rd no. 1 series nationwide after MariMar and Dyesebel?

Marian Rivera was tagged “The Primetime Queen” when her first tv series MariMar and her second tv series Dyesebel conquered TV ratings not only in Mega Manila but nationwide!

However, her third series, “Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang” was not meant to top the primetime race as the suspense-dramaserye has a more mature theme and a more mature audience at the same time. It broke the “winning streak” of Marian, so to speak.

This time, Marian Rivera is back with a tried-and-tested project, Darna. With the right show in the right timeslot, can Darna top nationwide tv ratings and beat the current leader “Santino”? Will Marian Rivera be able to seal her title as the Primetime Queen? We will see.

Narda by Kamikazee is the theme song of the highly-anticipated GMA primetime series “Mars Ravelo’s Darna (Narda).”

Narda Lyrics
(Kamikazee)

Tila ibon kung lumipad
Sumabay sa hangin
Akoy napatingin
Sa dalagang nababalot ng hiwaga…

Mapapansin kaya
Sa dami ng ‘yong ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko ang lahat
May pag asa bang makilala ka…

Awit na nananawagan
Baka sakaling napakikinggan
Pag ibig na palaisipan
Sa kanta na lang idaraan…

Nag-aabang sa langit..
Sa mga ulap sumisilip..
Sa likod ng mga tala..
Kahit sulyap lang darna….

Ang swerte nga naman ni Ding
Lagi ka nyang kapiling
Kung ako sa kanya
Niligawan na kita…

Mapapansin kaya
Sa dami ng ‘yong ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko ang lahat
May pag asa bang makilala ka…

Awit na nananawagan
Baka sakaling napakikinggan
Pag ibig na palaisipan
Sa kanta na lang idaraan

Nag-aabang sa langit..
Sa mga ulap sumisilip..
Sa likod ng mga tala..
Kahit sulyap lang darna….

Tumalon kaya ako sa bangin
Para lang iyong sagipin..
Ito ang tanging paraan
Para mayakap ka..

Darating kaya
Sa dami ng ‘yong ginagawa
Kung kaagaw ko sila
Paano na kaya?..

Awit na nananawagan
Baka sakaling napakikinggan
Pag ibig na palaisipan
Sa kanta na lang idaraan…

Nag-aabang sa langit..
Sa mga ulap sumisilip..
Sa likod ng mga tala..
Kahit sulyap lang darna….

Darna (Narda) – Teaser Trailer

Is she the savior of GMA’s falling primetime?

Coming this August on GMA Telebabad.

It’s Marian Rivera Versus KC Concepcion this August

cd — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 17:12:29 +0000

According to reports, KC Concepcion’s Lovers in Paris will be pitted with Marian Rivera’s Narda this coming August.

ABS-CBN spent millions in the Philippine version of the hit koreanovela “Lovers in Paris.” The same can be said with GMA’s remake of Mars Ravelo’s most popular work which the kapuso network entitled “Narda.”

Lovers in Paris is topbilled by KC Concepcion. People believe she has an edge because her leading man is the ultimate heartthrob Piolo Pascual. Not to mention that the Korean tv franchise was a big hit not only in the Philippines but across Asia as well.

In the case of Marian Rivera, this is going to be her first primetime series without Dingdong Dantes, her leading man in MariMar, Dyesebel and Ang Babaeng Hinugot sa Aking Tadyang. But her edge would be the tried and tested, failure-proof Darna franchise. All movies and a tv remake of the said graphic novel were all successful.

The million pesos question: whose primetime series will rule? We’ll find out this August.

The two upcoming programs from rival networks ABS-CBN and GMA are both highly-budgeted
