In her comeback on GMA Telebabad, Marian Rivera-Dantes plays Minerva Henerala, the odd but soft-hearted high school teacher who loves her students despite their naughtiness inside the classroom.

In real life when she was younger, the actress dreamed of being a teacher.

“Super Ma’am,” directed by LA Madridejos, also marks the return of experienced actress, Ms. Helen Gamboa, to GMA. She breathes life into the character of Lolita Honorio, Minerva’s grandmother. She will also be Super Ma’am’s guide in her journey.

Playing opposite Marian is heartthrob Matthias Rhoads as Trevor Jones, an American archaeologist and writer who falls in love with Super Ma’am.

Also in the cast are Joyce Ching, Kristoffer Martin, Kevin Santos, Isabelle de Leon, Andrew Gan, Jackie Lou Blanco, Jillian Ward, Meg Imperial, Shyr Valdez and Carmina Villarroel. In special roles are Dina Bonnevie and Ai Ai delas Alas.

Medical mission for the media

Members of media has teleradyo host Ahwel Paz to thank for the recent medical mission that benefited them. It was held at the De Los Santos Medical Center last Sept. 10. The medical mission was courtesy of Ahwel’s  I Love My Family Foundation in collaboration with De Los Santos Medical Center.

 Now on its fifth year, Ahwel said he was inspired to embark on his advocacy when he noted that some members of the press and media can hardly provide for their medical needs.

“It breaks my heart every time I hear about some colleagues struggling to pay their hospital bills or soliciting help for their medical needs. This inspired me to extend help by conducting a medical mission in the industry where I belong. It’s my way of giving back for the blessings I receive. I do the medical mission on my birthday to make it more meaningful,” he said.

 For the first two years, Ahwel held his medical mission in a function room of hotels and at his own restaurant. But considering the logistics involved, he approached De Los Santos Medical Center and thankfully the president, Raul Pagdanganan, readily agreed to partner with him.
