Dizon portrays Paula, one of the three mother figures of Camille (Janine Gutierrez), alongside Elvie (Cherry Pie Picache) and Marvi (Vina Morales), in the primetime family drama.

Paula, unlike her best friends, is raising her own biological daughter Koleene (Analain Salvador) as a single mother, after her husband Aljo (Joko Diaz) left her for another woman.

In a scene in the September 15 episode of “Marry Me, Marry You,” Koleene sought permission from Paula to spend time with her father and his current girlfriend.

The resulting exchange from the mother and daughter saw a range of emotions from Paula, from anger, to frustration, feeling betrayed, and sarcasm.

The scene proved memorable for viewers of “Marry Me, Marry You,” drawing praise during its primetime broadcast on Wednesday, and then on Thursday, as the clip circulated on Twitter.

Viewer @nikowl, who uploaded the clip, shared his amusement with Dizon’s effective portrayal.
