Dingdong Dantes Defends Gf Marian Rivera From Those Who Say She Doesn'T Deserve To Win Best Actress

WHAT CAN DINGDONG Dantes say to the detractors of his inamorata, Marian Rivera, who claim she doesn’t deserve to win the Golden Screen best drama actress award for “Amaya”? “Ewan ko sa kanila, but ako, I think very desering siya sa dami ng hirap na pinagdaanan niya and her character na nagampanan naman niya convincingly from being a slave hanggang maging warrior and princess siya,” he says. “I told her wag na lang pansinin at baka mga naiinggit lang sa kanya.”

Dingdong’s own show, “Pahiram ng Sandali”, is ending next week but they don’t know yet how it’ll end. “We haven’t taped the final episodes yet, but dapat, magkaroon ng forgiveness among the characters, lalo na sa part ni Max Cinco as Cindy para mapatawad niya kami ng mother niyang si Lorna Tolentino as Janice for having a one-night stand.”

So what’s next for him? “Di ko pa alam. But the movie I did with the Cebu inmates, ‘Dance of the Steel Bars’, is showing in May. I play a dance instructor who kills someone accidentally kaya nabilanggo ako. Sana, magkaroon ako uli ng Metro filmfest this December kasi suwerte yung two past entries kong ‘Segunda Mano’ and ‘One More Try’. I’m doing the sequel to ‘Tiktik, Aswang Chronicles’ but later this year pa. Tatapusin muna ng Reality Entertainment ang ‘Kung Fu Divas’ ni Marian with Ai Ai de las Alas.”

Was he instrumental in Marian’s decision to go into co-production with Ai Ai and Reality for this movie? “I was told about the project and I told her about it. Sabi ko, maganda, wag na niyang pakawalan, do it, so tinanggap niya.”
