Actor Dingdong Dantes reaffirmed his unwavering loyalty to GMA Network during his contract signing on May 9, stating that he never entertained the thought of leaving the network, which he considers his home.
Dantes emphasized that issues regarding his continued partnership with GMA Network never arose.
“Hindi na umabot doon sa mga ganoong issues. Ni hindi na dumating na kailangang pag-isipan ang mga ganoong bagay,” he said.
While Dantes acknowledged the technical aspects of signing a network contract, he made it clear that his decision to remain a Kapuso was driven by the principles instilled by his parents.
“Siguro mga technical things like kontrata, mga kailangan mong gawin. Pero ako, in principle, malinaw sa akin na ito ang tahanan. At kung may lugar pa ako sa inyo, eh I’m still happy to still perform and kumbaga share my talent sa platform,” Dantes explained.
He continued, “Noon pa. ‘Yun ang isa sa mga mahahalagang values and principles na itinuro sa akin ng aking mga magulang noon pa lang. ‘Yung values, principle of integrity, resilience, ng disiplina, at nandoon ang loyalty. Hinding-hindi mawawala ‘yung loyalty at alam ko ‘yun dahil nakikita ko sa mga magulang ko ‘yon. Kung ano ‘yung mga ginagawa nila siyempre nai-inspire kami.”
The actor also praised GMA Network for their treatment of talents and staff, reflecting the loyalty and dedication he witnessed in his own family.
“Ganoon din ang ginagawa namin sa aming tahanan, and ganoon din kasi ang ipinakita sa akin dito sa GMA simula nang mag-umpisa ako. That’s how they treat their partners, their talents. So para sa akin, ‘yun din ang ibibigay ko sa kanya.”
As he embarks on another chapter with GMA Network, Dantes is looking forward to exciting projects ahead, including his upcoming hosting role in ‘The Voice Kids Philippines.’
