Couple of days ago, Maricel Soriano's hiatus momentarily ended.
She was seen walk the aisle of Roxanne Guinoo's wedding along with other celebrities like Charlene Gonzales and Mariel Rodriguez.
Maricel played Roxanne's sister in one of abs-cbn's primetime soap few years back and they have been close eversince.
Together with Rahyan Carlos, their director on the soap, Maricel was principal sponsor to the wedding, alongside Vicky Belo and Boy Abunda.
Prior to her appearance on the wedding, Maricel was never to be found, or atleast had been very elusive to the showbiz camera.
Her absence has spawned several speculations including depression over Mommy Linda's demise, being hooked on alcohols and partying and worse even drugs.
But Maricel kept her private matters private. In the wedding, she has talked to only Boy and Charlene. You couldn't even say there was interviewing that happened. Probably a chit chat for a few minutes just like what Charlene mentioned during an episode of The Buzz, wherein she quotes Maricel as saying that she wants to work with Aga Muhlach again, and that she is ready to go back to work again.
Not many would realize that Maricel might have shyed away from the limelight for the untimely demise of her wonder woman. Before that, she changed manager from Wyngard Tracy (who passed away last year as well) to Malou Choa Fagar of the Eat Bulaga fame. Changing a manager, losing a manager, then losing a friend. I'm pretty sure it's reasonable to be out of biz even if you only experienced one of the three.
But alas, showbiz would not let Maricel keep her peace, especially the blind items just because some people in the biz thinks Martin is not doing any good to Mary.
Still and all, Maricel is beyond 40, and with that, she has battled so many personal tribulations in the past and we have to give her credit for that. Give her the space she needs. Give her the time she needs. And when she has finished contemplating on this space and time, then allow her to comeback. She has done several comebacks and because she is such a talent that is so rare nowadays, she is always welcomed back.
Yeah, some people would say that she is no longer the hottest property. Her opportunities in showbiz aren't that many unlike in the 80s. Her fans may not be as many. I say, if you can find someone like her - talent, charisma and personality in one star of today, then I'll be the first one to tell Maricel to retire. You can't just easily put her down. In fact, so many have tried in the past, but no one succeeded. She just kept silent and kept doing her work and then became the true Diamond Star that she is.
Jobert Sucaldito may have turned her into a hobby, or some other tabloid reporters may write about her every day in blind items, still when Maricel walked down that aisle, everyone was stunned by her presence and everyone kept saying she is as beautiful and as sexy as ever. That presence alone would put all the blind items just blind items coz there's no way someone hooked in drugs and in rehab on the basement of Makati Med will ever look that good.
So i guess, we just have to call on Malou Fagar's attention - What have you been doing when all of these blind items about Maricel is spreading? Just sitting? Just waiting in vain? Maybe playing deaf?
