DINGDONG DANTES ‘DI RAW MATUTUMBASAN ANG SENYALES NA HININGI NIYA PARA UMURONG SA POLITIKA

MASAYANG inihayag ng nananatiling Kapuso Primetime King na si Dingdong Dantes na hindi raw matutumbasan ang kaligayahang kanyang nararamdaman ngayon sa sunod-sunod na biyayang dumarating sa buhay niya, kapalit ng kanyang naging desisyon noon na umurong sa pamumulitika.

Na-ambush kasi namin si Dingdong noon along with 5 other colleagues sa ground floor ng GMA7 kung saan inu­rirat namin siya kung magpa-file na ba siya ng candidacy for a government position, but without batting an eyelash, he immediately said no, and he just simply said, “abangan niyo ang announcement ko later sa aking Instagram account.”

Iyon pala ay ang announcement na buntis si Marian sa kanilang pa­ngalawang anak, which was Dingdong’s sign that he would not run for any political position.

Past forward, Marian recently delivered their second child, a bouncing baby boy na pina­ngalanan nilang Jose Sixto IV, Dingdong being Jose Sixto III. And few days after Marian’s delivery, ay inanunsiyo naman ng GMA7 na si Dingdong ang gaganap ng lead role sa pinakaaabangang Pinoy version ng Koreanovela hit na “Descendants of the Sun,” kasabay ng anunsiyo ng kanyang ika-21 taon sa GMA7.

Sobrang pasasalamat niya sa kanyang 21 years sa Kapuso sa pag-aalaga sa kanya, sa network daw siya halos lumaki, nagka-girlfriend, nagkaa-sawa, at ngayon, naka-dalawang anak, alongside his career growth na hindi siya pinabayaan ng kanyang home network. Naging producer na rin siya.

At bilang ganti, lalo raw niyang pagbubutihin ang kanyang trabaho, at susuklian ng katapatan ang pag-aalaga sa kanya na ayon sa mga Kapuso exec na hindi raw naman talaga sila nagkaproblema kay Dingdong because he has always been a professional actor and too dedicated to his craft.

Sa ngayon, wala na raw mahihiling pa si Dingdong, having a beautiful wife and adorable children, a career still on the upswing, and he only wishes he could be of service to his fellowmen, but maybe not yet this time.

Nasabi namin sa kanya, na bata pa siya, huwag siyang magmadali, enjoy muna niya while he is still young, ang family niya at career na patuloy na gu­maganda.

Kaabang-abang ang paglabas ng “Descendants of the Sun” at mukhang there is another surprise dahil hinahanap pa ng Kapuso kung sino ang ipapareha nila kay Dingdong.

Ang while waiting, he will be busy partnering with his wife Marian in taking care of their newborn son, who, from the photos on his Instagram account, Sixto IV looks like he is a mini Dingdong.

He also narrated that he was on his wife’s side while she was on labor for almost 10 hours and from his account,  witnessing how a mother delivers a child, sinabi niyang mas napamahal sa kanya si Marian sa nakita niyang pag­hihirap na mailabas sa mundo ang kanilang anak. Dapat daw pala, ‘pag nag-celebrate ng birthday ang anak, kasabay ang ina, dahil hindi biro ang magsilang. Sisiguruhin daw niya na ibibigay niya lahat ng kanyang kaya para sa asawa at mga anak.

Ka-touch!
