Wherever she is, the 1982 Binibining Pilipinas-Universe, actress and native of Cagayan de Oro City in Misamis Oriental, is well sought.
Her origins make her a true blue Visayan.
Maria Isabel Lopez is indeed classic.
The beauty-queen thespian has just come from the US to attend the momentous wedding of her unica hija, Mara Isabella Lopez Yokohama and look what she got.
Immediately after Mara tied the knot with young American businessman Chandler Booth in the exquisite Pangulasian Island, El Nido, Palawan, Maria Isabel got a call from GMA Network to do a special participation in the top-rating daily TV drama "Widows War" with no less than Bea Alonzo and Carla Abellana.
It was a blessing-in-disguise because Maribel just wanted to spend some time the holiday season with her family and friends when she got a call slip to tape for the Gothic drama.
"I was surprised when they called me because I had a lot of things to do at home," exclaimed the brown actress.
Bea welcomed the veteran actress with gusto.
During a meal break, Lopez and Alonzo were photographed exclusively as major actors of the show.
Maribel was excited and cooperative during the shoots as she practiced the professionalism expected from an award-winning actress like her.
All the stars involved in the TV series were taking their hats off to the still sexy actress after all these years.
Maribel has other screen appearances scheduled this year but she has yet to return to the US where her husband, lawyer Jonathan Melrid resides.
Lopez is back where the action is.
