BOTH actresses suffered in their own way. Marian Rivera as a teacher trying to protect a ballot box in BALOTA. Gabby Padilla, ‘a young woman navigating the cultural complexities of a foreign funeral. While coming to terms with personal loss and family grief’ in KONO BASHO. They now have the distinction of a tie for BEST ACTRESS in the full length category of Cinemalaya XX Awards, held at Cinema 2 of Ayala Malls Manila Bay, August 11, 2024.

Marian’s Cuts & Bruises

Marian Rivera assured audiences in her acceptance speech that Director Kip Oebanda, crew and production made sure she was safe.  In spite of this, the role had its physical challenges.

For most of the film she was handcuffed to a heavy, metal, ballot box. And involved scenes where she had to carry it under a tree and muddy areas. Like an embankment, beneath tree roots where she had to hide from would be captors.

“Sa lahat ng staff and crew, sa loob ng anim na shooting days, ramdam ko yung pag-aalala. Yes, sorry to say that six shooting days. (crowd laughs). Ramdam ko yung pagmamahal, pag-aalala, pag-gabay nila sakin. Na safe ako, na kahit anung bigat na raramdaman ko, sa lahat ng eksena, never nila kong pinabayaan. Mine-make sure nila maayos akong uuwi kahit sugat sugat ako… Sa mga anak kong very excited kung ano nangyayari sa BALOTA shooting days ko.  At yung bunso ko binibilang po yung sugat ko araw araw, tuwing uuwi ako.”

Cinemalaya XX competition will be screened in Ayala Malls Manila Bay, Trinoma, Market Market!, U.P. Town Center and Greenbelt from August 2-11, 2024.

She thanked Director Kip Oebanda for his faith in her, “Sa lahat po nagbubuo ng Cinemalaya, marami pong salamat. To my GMA family thank you. Direk Kip umpisa pa lang ng shooting natin, ramdam ko and 100% na pagtitiwala mo sakin sa kakayahan ko, kung paano ko aarte si Teacher Emmie. So thank you Direk Kip.”

Great Birthday

She credited husband Ding Dong Dantes for encouraging her to take the role. Which led to a memorable birthday, “Thank you sa lahat ng cast na kasama ko dito, napaka husay ninyo. Di matatapos ang pa sasalamat nato kung di sa asawa ko. Thank you Dad. Kwento ko lang ng short. Sabi ko sa kanya, mahal may offer sakin sa Cinemalaya. Tatanggapin ko ba? Kakayanin ko ba? Sabi ng asawa ko, ‘Kelangan mong gawin yan. Kelangan mong pakita kung sino ka’. Salamat sa pagtitiwala. So salamat Birthday ko po bukas. Salamat po sa napaka gandang regalo. Taos puso akong nagpapasalamat.”

Thank you so much.”
