Marian Rivera collaborates with lucky winner of her dance contest

Marian Rivera has chosen a winner for her "Sabay Sabay" dance challenge!

According to Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras," Thursday, the lucky TikToker who got to join Marian in a dance collaboration is Ceejay Laqui.

The Kapuso Primetime Queen said she saw some qualities in Ceejay that stood out among the participants.

"Ini-stalk ko 'yung feed niya, nakita ko kung gaano niya ka-love talaga ang pagsasayaw tsaka ano siya, wala akong tulak kabigin eh parang ang bait ng personality niya na parang sabi ko, 'Ah, deserve niya 'to,'" she said.

Marian also said that her glam team and her husband, Dingdong Dantes, helped her select the winner.

"Actually, nung nalaman ko po siya nasa bahay po ako, tapos po nakita ko po 'yung chat ni Ate Marian," Ceejay said.

"Sobrang saya po kasi na-appreciate po ni ate Marian po yung passion ko po sa pagsasayaw," he added.

Before dancing together, Marian gave Ceejay the same hat she was wearing.

Marian just posted their dance collaboration on her official TikTok account.

Marian began her TikTokerist era with her take on the "Price Tag" dance trend, which would reach almost 200 million views, to her surprise.

"Actually, ayaw ko pa nga i-post 'yung 'Price Tag' kasi sabi ko parang naiilang akong i-post kasi parang nahihiya ako na mag-post uli ng ganon," Marian said.

"Sabi ni Mel, 'yung stylist ko, 'Akin na 'yung phone mo ipo-post ko 'yan.' So 'yun na 'yun, after the post na 'yun natulog na ko and then kinabukasan, ang dami kong message tsaka missed call parang sabi ko, 'Anong nangyari?'" 

Marian also had some words of encouragement to content creators.

"Mag-trending man 'yan o hindi mag-trending, ang importante, ikaw masaya ka ba habang ginagawa mo siya? At iyon ang mahalaga," she said.

After the "Price Tag" challenge, Marian followed it up with her take on the "It's Plenty" trend.

She also surprised her fans with her "Sabay Sabay Tayo" dance and flexed Dingdong using the "Salamat Lord" audio.

Marian's television comeback is already in the works. For the upcoming series, she will be portraying two roles, including an alien character.

Marian is also set to return to the big screen with Dingdong for "Rewind," a feel-good family drama with touches of magical realism.
