Choosing love over career or vice versa, being the center of Mariano’s movie with Donny Pangilinan, “An Inconvenient Love”, Mariano feels that one need not choose one over the other.

“I don’t think you have to choose. I think you can live the best of both worlds kasi if the person truly loves you he’ allow you to grow and reach those dreams with you,” she added.
