Kapuso actor Dingdong Dantes fully supported wife Marian Rivera’s decision to back out from her TV comeback project First Yaya.
In an interview with Dondon Sermino during the media conference for the return of his GMA series Descendants of the Sun (The Philppine Adaptation), Dingdong shared that he supports and respects his wife’s decision to back out from her project.
According to Dingdong, he fully understands where Marian is coming from and he knows what she sacrificed in opting-out from the project.
“Alam ko ‘yung pinanggagalingan n’ya, alam ko ‘yung sakripisyo n’ya for not saying yes to it because alam ko kung ga’no s’ya ka-exicted sa project na ito.
“Bihira lang s’yang gumawa ng TV show sa isang taon pero ramdam ko kapag, ito na, gigil na gigil na siya and all out s’ya.
“Apparently, she had to make a very, very difficult decision and hanga ako sa kanya dahil pinili n’ya ‘to at kung ano naman ang pipiliin n’ya, ando’n ako to support her one hundred percent,” said Dingdong.
Marian was supposed to star in the upcoming GMA drama series First Yaya alongside Gabby Concepcion. But with the pandemic and the lock-in tapings as the current shooting protocol for all networks, the Kapuso Queen decided not to push through with her supposed TV comeback.
Marian was replaced by Kapuso star Sanya Lopez.
Meanwhile, Dingdong also shared that he might also consider not accepting many projects to support and help Marian in taking care of their family.
“By supporting, ‘di lang siguro ako dapat tumanggap din ng [maraming proyekto] dahil, siyempre, kung andito s’ya sa bahay, kailangan samahan ko.
“It’s either that or may times na siguro magdo-double time ako. Siyempre kailangan ko ring kumayod para sa pamilya. Either way, I’m okay to do it.”
Dingdong also added that he will always support Marian in whatever decision she will make that will make her life easy and comfortable especially in raising their two kids, while for his part he will do the rest.
“Again, suportado ko s’ya mga desisyon n’ya kung ano man ang magpapadali ng buhay n’ya dahil, siyempre, ngayon pinapalaki niya ‘yung dalawang anak namin so ako na ang bahala sa iba.”
