“It will be a truly merry Christmas for our family,” says Dong who just finished hosting “Starstruck 6” that ended with its grand finals last Saturday night. “Totoo pala yung sinasabing kahit pagod na pagod ka sa trabaho, mawawala ang pagod mo pag-uwi mo ng bahay at nakita mo ang anak mo.”
Most people say that based on the baby’s photos, she looks more like her dad. “Mas gusto ko kung magiging kamukha siya ng mommy niya and I believe na kapag tumagal na, talagang she’ll look more like her mom.”
What can he say now that their fans have put up different social media accounts for their daughter? “Well, hindi naman namin yung ipinagbabawal and we’re happy that their support for us remains intact. Okay lang naman if they just want do updates on our baby at magamit lang nang tama. But later on, it’s up to our daughter pag may sarili na siyang pagpapasiya kung gusto niya ba talaga ng ganung account.”
When will their baby be baptized? “We’re still talking about it, pati yung lineup ng godparents, binubuo pa namin. I’m so happy na si Marian, dedicated at focused lang sa baby namin, in taking care of her and breastfeeding her. Yun lang ang priority niya.”
So what’s his next project after “Starstruck VI”? “I will be doing a new drama by next year. Fans are asking kung puede kami uli ni Marian but we’re not sure yet. Gusto ko ring bawasan muna ang trabaho para I can give more attention to our daughter.”
