Descendants of the Sun star Dongdong Dantes expressed his hopes and fears for his son Jose Sixto Dantes IV who just celebrated his first birthday.
Ziggy was born on April 16, 2019, as the second child of Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera.
Because of the enhanced community quarantine, Dingdong said that he feels regretful that they cannot celebrate his son’s birthday with the rest of the family.
“It is day 33 for us here on lockdown and day 365 for you on Earth. Normally, we would gather all our relatives and friends to celebrate this special day with you, just like how your mother and I had done it when we reached the same milestone. Though as toddlers, we never really remembered anything– thanks to the pictures that reminded us how we are loved by the people around us.
“But today, it’s just going to be us, Buddy– You, me, your Mother, your Ate Z, Ate Cecile, Ate Glenda and Kuya Emerson. But please know that there are many people like your cousins, grandparents, godparents and relatives who wish to see you and be with you today, probably to give a gift, a cake, or a simple tight warm hug. But not now…maybe when this is all over. When? I really don’t know, son,” he wrote on his Instagram account.
He also admits his fear of how COVID-19 will affect Ziggy’s experience growing in this world.
“To be honest with you, I fear the day that you would be marching towards this new world, this new normal, that we had created for your generation. What’s happening now is a clear manifestation of our actions and inactions– and we are reaping its effects which could benefit a few, but for most…just hard learnings about humanity, the planet and spirituality,” he continues.
“But I guess as parents, that’s what we are here for. We are here to prepare you for that jungle out there. Though there is fear, it is also you (and your sister) who give me courage to carry on and strive to make this world a sustainable place to live in. You give me the drive to make me want to be a better version of myself,” he wrote.
