Miss World 2013 Megan Young reprises role of MariMar

Dubbed as one of the most successful telenovela series in the Philippines, the 2007 remake of MariMar paved the way for Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes to stardom. The couple have since become a real-life couple and are now happily married and expecting their first child.

This year, GMA Network has decided to relive the hit TV series—all with a brand new cast and major twists to adjust to the current generation.

To start, the official cast of MariMar was announced, headed by no less than 2013 Miss World Megan Young in the lead role, and actor Tom Rodriguez as Sergio Santibanez, MariMar’s love interest.

Joining the two are Ricardo Cepeda, Cris Villanueva, Carmi Martin, Jacklyn Jose, Candy Pangilinan, Jaya, Lauren Young, Maricris Garcia, Dion Ignacio and Frank Magalona under the direction of Dominic Zapata.

Despite rumors going around that Angelica Panganiban and boyfriend John Lloyd Cruz are headed for splitsville, the actress proved that they are still very much together when she posted her birthday greeting for the actor.

Angelica posted on her Instagram account on June 24 a photo of her and John Lloyd riding a golf cart.  On the caption she wrote:  “I’ll never get tired [of] making you laugh.  Happiest birthday my Love.”

Another photo was also posted by John Lloyd’s manager Ogie Diaz showing the couple during a private birthday party for the actor, with the hashtag “#SplitDawEhAnoYan?”

Last June 16, Angelica denied that she and John Lloyd have broken up.  This was after a report came out that their relationship was on the rocks.
