WALANG alinlangan na ang Kapuso Primetime King, actor, host, celebrity endorser at entrepreneur na si Dingdong Dantes ang pinakaabala among his peers sa bakuran ng GMA.

Since last year ay siya na ang host ng Philippine adaptation ng American television game show na “Family Feud” hosted by actor Richard Dawson na nagsimulanung 1976 until 1985. He is soon to host “The Voice Generations,” isang singing reality show na hango naman sa Australian singing competition TV series of same title.

Bilang actor, huli siyang napanood in 2021 sa local adaptation ng Korean move na “A Hard Day” na pinagsamahan nila ni John Arcilla under Viva Films. His last TV series ay nung 2020sa local adaptation ng popular K-drama series na “Descendants of the Sun”. He is back doing another drama series sa pamamagitan ng “Royal Blood,” a murder mystery series kung saan niya kasamasa cast sina Rhian Ramos, Megan Young, Mikael Daez, Dion Ignacio, Rabiya Mateo, Tirso Cruz III, Arthur Solinap, Benjie Paras at iba pa mula sa direksyonni Dominic Zapata.

Despite his busy schedule, Dingdong spends quality time with his family – his wife nasi Marian Rivera at dalawang anak na sina Zia (7) at Ziggy (4).

Dingdong proposed to his lovely wife twice – una sa Macau nung August 2012 at pangalawa sa dance show ni Marian sa GMA, ang “Marian” nung August 9, 2014. The couple got married on December 30, 2014 sa Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Cubao, Quezon City. They were blessed with two lovely kids, sina Zia and Ziggy na humahataw na rin as celebrity kid endorsers.

Being a career and family man, Dingdong does the balancing act by managing his time properly sa tulong na rin ni Marian.

Ang mag-asawang Dingdong at Marian ay nagkalapit sanisa’t isa nang sila’y magtambal sa Philippine adaptation ng Mexican telenovela in 1994 na “Marimar” in 2007. Magmula noon ay naging inseparable na ang dalawa until their union seven years later.

Gab bumalik na sa Amerika for good

IT seems na hindi pa rin masaya sa kanyang buhay sa Pilipinas ang second son ng mag-asawang Gary Valenciano at Angeli Pangilinan-Valenciano na si Gab (Jose Angelo Gabriel Pangilinan Valenciano) dahil muli itong nag-desisyon na bumalik ng Amerika kamakailan lamang at for good na umano ito.

Come June 11 ay 35 years old na ang singer-dancer, actor, musician, host, director, drummer, percussionist at choreographer pero hindi pa ring masasabing stable na ang takbo ng kanyang career kumpara sa kanyang elder brother na si Paolo na may sarili nang pamilya at dalawang anak maging ang kanyang younger sister na si Kiana.

Hindi ikinakaila ni Gab na dumaan siya sa depression but thankful na very strong ang kanyang support system mula sa kanilang pamilya at malalapit na kaibigan.

Gab was formerly married to model, host and blogger Tricia Centenera whom he married twice in Tagaytay and Boracay in 2015 but got divorced the following year.

Tricia is now happily married to a lawyer and businessman Duane Santos at meron na silang two beautiful daughters.
