Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes in Let’s Celebrate
Marian in bed. Dingdong gyrating his hips. Their playful banter we all love. Explosive dance numbers. A sweet serenade. A celebrity duet. Tear jerking moments. And everything sealed with a kiss. It was a visual treat for fans as Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes gave thanks via a free birthday concert last August 27 at the Araneta Coliseum. It’s a good thing the Big Dome was packed; it would’ve been a shame to have missed such a fantastic extravaganza! Text by Jillian Q. Gatcheco. Photos by Mitch S. Mauricio.
The mood
The stage had two rooms: Dingdong’s and Marian’s. As it turned out, these were actually dressing rooms where cameras inside gave the audience a peek at what was happening in between performance numbers.
The event, albeit free, was heavily sponsored with creative presentations of the duo’s endorsements. A handful of the performances and “commercial breaks,” for instance, incorporated product plugs of My Phone, Sunsilk, Touch Mobile (TM) and Hapee Toothpaste. Each number was unique, although most had a tongue-in-cheek quality to them.
The chairs and bleachers were filled with screaming fans, some holding up glow sticks, balloons, or tarpaulins that promoted their fan group. The show was superb, and part of what made it worthwhile was experiencing the joy of Marian and Dingdong’s supporters as they jumped, clapped, and shouted, “I love you, Mariaaaan! I love you Dingdooong!”

hello, i am not a fan of Ms, Marian Rivera, i am just a ordinary citizen who lives and work here at Shizuoka Japan, i just saw her video on youtube with “nagtaray” title, at first i was shock but until i saw the interview with her on one of the famous live TV shows at GMA 7, i was very shock because it was the first time i heard a famous artist like her who’s been interviewed and answers all the questions in pure Tagalog!! i admire her charisma and fighting spirit, i am not really into tagalog movies nor filipino artist but i really like her, pure in her words and honest with her feelings, just one message to her… KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MARIAN, DONT LET THEM JUDGE YOU!
that’s all, thanks for reading and have a nice day!
