Marian Rivera Becomes an English Translator at Superbods 2024
MARIAN RIVERA – The Kapuso Primetime Queen drew laughs and cheers after being an English translator during the Q&A portion at the Century Tuna Superbods 2024 finals, held at Marriott Manila Hotel.
Serving as one of the celebrity judges, Marian initially posed a question in Filipino to contestant Jether Palomo: “Dumami ang followers mo sa social media nu’ng naging finalist ka. Papaano mo gagamitin ang opportunity na ito kahit natapos na ang competition na ito?” Palomo, not understanding the question, asked for it to be translated into English.
Marian paused briefly before responding, “I will try my best,” eliciting enthusiastic cheers from the audience. She then translated the question, smiling as she said, “Listen very carefully! Here’s my question. Your social media following grew when you became a finalist. How will you use this opportunity even after your Superbod journey?” The crowd responded with more applause and cheers.
Palomo answered thoughtfully, acknowledging the importance of authenticity and personal growth. He stated, “I agree (to using) this platform (in) showing that you can be authentically you and showing who you are as a person. I’ve been one to ruin my self-image and ultimately I fell apart, but those loose pieces of me didn’t fall apart. They all fell into place.” He continued, “And now, I want to use that social platform to continue to inspire others on their fitness journey to becoming the best you ever. Thank you.”
Palomo, a model often compared to Korean actor Park Seo-joon, along with model-beauty queen Justine Felizarta, emerged as the grand winners of Century Tuna Superbods 2024.
