Marian Revira As The New Darna!

Over the years Mar Ravelo's Darna komiks series has been a big hit action heroin among Filipinos. And it has been played by different artist in several generations; Rosa del Rosario, Liza Moreno, Eva Montes, Gina PareƱo, Vilma Santos, Rio Locsin, Anjanette Abayari, Nanette Medved, and Angel Locsin. And Regine Velasquez in the movie Captain Barbell of Bong Revilla , Sharon Cuneta in the Herbert Bautista starrer Captain Barbell, and even Dolphy in the gay-spoof version.
