Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen personally requested to meet Kapuso actress Marian Rivera at a welcome dinner in Clark, Pampanga, Saturday, November 11, and even posted photos of their meeting on his official Facebook account.
The dinner is hosted by former president and Pampanga Representative Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Hun Sen just arrived in the country through Clark on Saturday, for the 31st Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit and Related Meetings in Manila.
The Kapuso Primetime queen was accompanied by her husband Dingdong Dantes during the welcoming dinner for ASEAN delegates.
The Kapuso Primetime King, in a classic suit-and-tie, arrived with his queen in an elegant Filipiniana ensemble.
Rivera has developed a strong fan base in Cambodia when Marimar and Dyesebel both became huge hits, and now the 2014 series Carmela is also airing in Cambodia.
“Ang sabi sa amin, gusto daw ako makita ng [prime minister] ng Cambodia kaya pupunta kami dun, dahil ‘pinapalabas ‘yung soap dun,” Rivera said on Thursday.
