Aiza Marquez Makes Her Showbiz Comeback in the Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera Movie ‘Remember’
Former ’90s young star Aiza Marquez is back in front of the camera. The actress is part of the cast of “Remember,” the new family drama film topbilled by Kapuso couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.
Aiza talked about her return during her guesting on “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda” on Monday, November 9, as reported by GMA News Online. She shared that she was living in New York when the offer came, and her first questions were about the schedule and the shooting location.
Once she learned that she would be working with Dingdong and Marian, she said yes without much hesitation. “Because I used to work with Dingdong and I haven’t been doing this in a while. I’ve been missing it, I won’t lie,” she said, according to GMA News’ translation of her answer, which was in a mix of Filipino and English.
The movie also marked Aiza’s first time to work with Marian. She explained that she had already left the Philippines when Marian’s career started to rise, and she had hoped to work with her someday. Aiza described the actress as warm, welcoming, kind and genuine, and also called her “very cool,” saying that Marian is “one of the boys.”
Directed by Mae Cruz-Alviar, who also helmed the couple’s 2023 hit “Rewind,” “Remember” follows an estranged couple who pretend to be together again for the sake of their daughter, whose memory is fading. Child actress Zia Grace plays their daughter Ella. Based on the film’s page on ABS-CBN Entertainment, the cast also includes Joross Gamboa, Kyle Echarri, Ana Abad Santos, Carla Humphries and Jobert Austria.
The movie is a co-production of Star Cinema, APT Entertainment, AgostoDos Pictures and Regal Entertainment. It opens in Philippine cinemas on November 11, 2026, while screenings in the United States, Canada and Guam start on November 13.
Many viewers remember Aiza as Billie in the youth-oriented series “TGIS,” where she worked with Dingdong and Anne Curtis. She was also seen in the shows “Anna Karenina” and “Etheria.”
After years away from local showbiz, Aiza’s return shows that the right project, and the right people, can still bring an actress back home.
