Today, Wagas celebrates the love story of Dick Israel with Baron Geisler portraying the veteran character actor.
More commonly known by his screen name Dick Israel, Richardo Michaca claims it was love at first sight when he met his would-be wife Marilyn on that fateful day Marilyn’s aunt decided to have her fortune read by his mother.
Falling in love at a young age, the couple decided to elope and live together in Baguio, and start a family. Dick was fortunate enough to land a role in a movie after auditioning, and soon his acting career took off. He became one of the most sought-after character actors playing either the antagonist or the sidekick of famous action stars.
Blinded by the glitz and glamor of show business, Dick went astray. He eventually left Marilyn and their children. Still, Marilyn continued to love him and endured everything.
Fate was not kind to Dick. He suffered a stroke, his health started to deteriorate, and eventually lost his job.
One day, Marilyn found Dick on her doorstep. He was coming home to his family. Without second thoughts, Marilyn accepted Dick back to her life, giving him another chance. Now, the loving wife stays beside her husband as he fights for his health.
Watch this story that shows how forgiving and selfless true love is, featuring Ina Feleo, Mara Lopez, and Baron Geisler as Dick Israel.
Wagas airs every Saturday, 7 p.m. on GMA News TV.
