Marian Rivera as Dyesebel

2008 remake of the popular Filipino comicbook character Dyesebel, a mermaid who fell inlove with a human named Fredo. Similar to the Little Mermaid fairytale. Dyesebel was originally portrayed by Vilma Santos in the 1960's movie version, who also once played Darna in the earlier Darna movies. Marian Rivera will also be starring as the new Darna for 2009 this coming August on GMA7 replacing Angel Locsin. Angel Locsin's current boyfriend Luiz Manzano is the eldest son of now Batangas Governor Vilma Santos-Recto on her first marriage to actor/TV host and OMB chairman Edu Manzano.
