[edit] MariMar
Main article: MariMar (Philippine TV series)
Rivera rose to fame when she won an audition for the title role of MariMar, the remake of the Mexican telenovela which starred Thalía. Before the auditions, Rivera knew little about the character as she was only 11 years old when the original soap opera aired on Philippine TV. Rivera then took the time out to do a research about the role over the internet.[8] Other actresses who took part on the auditions were Nadine Samonte, Katrina Halili, Jennylyn Mercado, Karylle, Jewel Mische, and Bianca King.[9][10]
MariMar premiered on August 13, 2007 with a 36.6% rating.[11] Her participation in the show led her to becoming a household name among the Filipino audiences that some would refer to her as Marimar/Bella even when she's out of her character, and with critics from the Guillermo Mendoza Memorial Scholarship Foundation, Inc. honoring her as Phenomenal TV Star in the 38th Box-Office Entertainment Awards.[12][2]
The final telecast aired March 14, 2008 highlights the wedding of Rivera's character, Marimar to Sergio Santibanez, played by Dingdong Dantes following a live footage of the wedding reception held at the GMA Network Studio 3.[13] Televisa, a large media company from Mexico that holds the rights to the Marimar series, were impressed with Rivera's performance on the show that they offered her a scholarship to one of the most distinguished entertainment educational establishment in Latin America, Centro de Educacion Artistica. Several alumni who graduated from this school are actors Eduardo Verastegui and Camila Sodi, and currently enrolled is Miss Universe 2006 Zuleyka Rivera. The executives from the giant Mexican TV network are eager to provide extensive training for Rivera that they willingly grant her instead with a 3-week crash course to accommodate her hectic schedule.[14]
The two-hour finale of MariMar last Friday, March 14, 2008 generates a whooping 52.6% rating to break its own records of 49.5% last November 7, 2007. Its 52.6% beat the 52.1% rating posted by Angel Locsin's Darna on April 14, 2005. [15]
