Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera with kids Zia and Sixto<\/p>\n
In time for his 40th birthday, Dingdong Dantes wrote a touching tribute to two important women in his life his mom Angeline and wife Marian Rivera.<\/p>\n
Dingdong celebrated his birthday last Sunday, Aug. 2.<\/p>\n
It isnt a day I imagined 5 months ago definitely far from the supposed Oktoberfest-themed, 90s rock, all-out party. That was the plan, he wrote.<\/p>\n
Despite the shift in plans caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the actor said his birthday remains a blessing.<\/p>\n
He also took on the opportunity to recognize the important people in his life.<\/p>\n
Today, I honor my mother who brought me into this world. I had to have my own children to make me realize the sacrifices that our mothers do for us. She literally put her life on the line for me. So whenever I get a birthday greeting, I also celebrate her strength, love, and commitment in raising a kulit boy like me, he said.<\/p>\n
Today, I also honor my wife who has been my rock and core. Building a family of my own and reaching milestones have been a blissful and contented journey because I have her as my partner in and for life. So whenever you greet me, I too laud her dedication, care, and love for me and our children who have brought so much meaning to our marriage and our lives.<\/p>\n
It didnt end there. Above all, Dingdong honored our Creator.<\/p>\n
And of course, today, I honor our Creator, who have made all things possible and surmountable for me all throughout these years. So, I welcome and embrace your well-wishes so that I can continue glorifying Him.<\/p>\n
Muli, maraming salamat sa mga pagbati. (Again, thank you for all the birthday greetings.) Open a bottle of beer for me and distantly, Id like to thank you for being part of my ongoing lifes journey, he added.<\/p>\n
Dingdong and Marian have been married since 2014. Their kids are Zia and Sixto.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
