Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes is back to work after tying the knot with Marian Rivera. Dingdong will be reunited with Sunshine Dizon after years of working with different actors, although both are in the same network.
After doing the infidelity-themed teleserye “Ang Dalawang Mrs. Real” last year, Dingdong will wear a clerical collar to depict his character Fr. Kokoy, a modern yet pure parish priest who’s set to change the lives of people around him.
It will be Dingdong’s first time to portray a priest. According to Dingdong, “Si Kokoy ay lumaki sa isang magandang pamilya na pinili ang landas ng pagsisilbi sa simbahan. Na-assign siya sa isang community kung saan masusubukan ang kanyang kakayahan dahil sa mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya. Bilang mga Pilipino, we have our ways of practicing our faith kaya naman malapit talaga sa puso ko ang role ko rito.”

Among the dynamic cast are Gabby Eigenmann, Sunshine Dizon, Chanda Romero, Jeric Gonzales, Carlo Gonzales, JC Tiuseco, Rap Fernandez, Luz Valdez, Dexter Doria, Hiro Peralta, Jojit Lorenzo, Lindt Johnston, Jhiz Deocareza, and Jillian Ward.
“Pari ‘Koy” is under the direction of award-winning director, Maryo J. Delos Reyes. Direk Maryo and Dingdong first collaborated in the primetime series, “Pahiram ng Sandali.” “Pari ‘Koy” airs weeknights beginning March 9 after 24 Oras on GMA Telebabad.
