Primetime heavyweights Coco Martin and Dingdong Dantes recently convened to collaborate on a fresh project for the League of Filipino Actors (AKTOR), bridging the gap between competing television networks.
Martin shared insights from their meeting on Sunday, expressing immense admiration for Dantes, who presides as the chairman of the guild.
“Sobra ang respeto ko sa taong ito. Maraming salamat, Kuya [Dingdong], sa walang sawang pagmamahal at dedikasyon mo sa ating industriya,” Martin wrote.
The actor, who leads the hit evening series “Sigabo,” went on to commend Dantes for his enduring commitment to the local entertainment scene.
”Isa kang inspirasyon sa maraming tao dahil sa sipag, at malasakit mo. Hindi lang talento ang ipinapakita mo, kundi tunay na puso para sa industriyang mahal nating lahat.”
Dantes mirrored the sentiment, pointing out that despite anchoring rival primetime programs, their shared vision for uplifting the acting community remains aligned. Martin is the frontman for ABS-CBN’s “Coco Martin’s Sigabo,” whereas Dantes headlines GMA-7’s “The Master Cutter.”
Replying directly to Martin’s post, Dantes extended his gratitude to the actor for his relentless advocacy and shared his anticipation for the upcoming AKTOR program.
”Maraming salamat din, brader, sa walang sawang pagmamahal mo sa ating industriya. Mapalad tayong lahat na may katulad mong laging nag-iisip ng mga bagong paraan para lalo pang mapatatag ang ating hanay. Bilib ako sa dedikasyon mo. Sobrang excited na ako sa programang ilulunsad mo para sa AKTOR. Mabuhay ka, Coco!” Dantes wrote.
Martin formally aligned himself with AKTOR last May, further expanding his contributions to welfare and growth initiatives within the Filipino entertainment industry.
