  1. I still think you and Dingdong could’ve been a good couple. If only walang umalis ng Pinas but of course everything happens for a reason.

    1. Let it rest pls, the guy is married and has a family. Respect pls. They were young and had no clue about the world then. If you are not the one, then it won't happen kahit anong pilit.

    4. And yung anak isyu nila ni Dingdong. Na hanggang ngayon tinatanong pa rin siya ng press about that. Made me think if true yun kasi abrupt yung pag alis niya sa Pinas kahit kasagsagan ng career niya dito.

    5. Ngek. Huy, move on na. Dong's happiness now as a family man wouldn't have been realized if sila nagkatuloyan ni antionnette. There are things that are meant to stay in the past and your wishful thinking is one of them.

    6. If only she did not leave dingdong to bff karylle's hands.... Kaso dingdong is meant for Marian talaga e...

    7. 11:06 umalis sya sa pinas coz she chose to be with her mom who was then battling with cancer. but she kept it a secret for the privacy of their family. kahit ako unahin ko muna ang nanay ko kesa ang lovelife.

  2. Did Antoinette give up Philippine showbiz to try Hollywood or gusto lang niya mag abroad?

    Sila pa ba ni Dingdong noong time na umalis siya?

    1. Gave up DD & her career in the Philippines to try Hollywood

    2. Yes, she tried.
      Yes, sila pa ni DD nun.

    3. Her mom was being treated for cancer in the states that time so she had to leave the Philippines. But also stayed kasi she wanted to pursue hollywood

    4. Yes sila pa… tapos nalaman nya na lang na mag jowa na c Karylle at Dong.

    5. Pinipilit tlaga ni 1235 ang narrative na yan. Jusko tih, just be thankful na hindi ngayon nangyari yung ginawa ni Marian at Dingdong kundi hindi kayo magkandaugaga kakatanggol sa mga yan if ever. 😂

      Delete
    6. Puede ba, yung breakup ni DD at AT isisi niyo kay DD at kay Karylle na bestfriend ni AT. Ano ang kinalaman ni MR diyan. At ang babata pa nila nun, mga totoy at neneng pa. Tsaka diosmio dekada na si DD at si MR. At talagang gumanda ang career ni DD noong napartner siya kay MR. MR is DD's lucky charm. Together they are ohenomenal, bith became the dependable pairing of GMA during the network wars. Tsaka may anak na yung dalawa, pamilyado. Respeto sa pamilya nila pls, lalo na sa mga anak nila

    7. True naman yung sinabi ni 12:35.

    8. Looks like ikaw 3:02 ang nagpipilit ng narrative mo. G na G kay Marian ah. Haha…

      If you are to be unbiased and will just base on statements from the circle of those involved talaga, break na si K and D long before naging sila ni M. Meron pa ngang girl after K before M. I think namention to sa interview with Kris.

      And about K’s naman, there was subtle bitterness from A during that time. When A was asked sino ang isasave nya between K and M from a sinking boat, she chose M. Says a lot.

      Delete
    9. 3:02 di ung pinipilit na narrative dahil kay antoinette mismo nanggaling na nagulat sya magjowa na si k at d that time

      Delete
    10. Sumingit si Karylle ganon? Bkit kapag feeling nya siya nasingitan hindi pwede galit na galit dati. Lumipat pa ng station.

      Delete
    11. 3:02 nung nangyari yan dati marami na nang bash kay Marian noh, till now ganon parin pero unfair lang dahil di man lang naisip ng mga tao ung Dingdong-Karylle, mas nakakhiya un dahil kaibigan paman din ni K si Antoinette. At kitang-kita namang sobrang inlababo si K kay D, abangers aya kay D noon pa man.

    12. 2:19 pnagpipilitan nyo lang fans ni marian yan to justify. Fyi even let’s say for the sake of argument eh inagaw nga ni karylle, it still doesn’t make what marian did right. Kun ganun eh d pareho sila. Kun matatandaan nyo nun lumabas na hiwalay na si karylle and dingdong umiyak si marian sa presscon. Nabaliktad na ang mundo. Yun cause ng breakup na ang mukang kinawawa lol. Also, hiwalay na si dingdong and antoinette when he left. Walang kahit isang resibo yan narrative nyo na nagulat na lang si antonette na si dingdong and karylle na. Matagal na umalis si antoinette at matagal na sila hiwalay bago pa man nagkaron ng encantadia kun saan naging si dd and karylle. Not a fan of any of them, dun lang tayo sa totoo. D na kailangan bagubaguhin pa yan. At the end of the day si dingdong and marian ay married naman na. Irrelevant na lahat yan dahil wala naman magbabago kahit bagubaguhin pa ang facts.

    13. Walang agawan po. As if naman seducer c karylle. Tumigil na nga kayo.

    14. 6:54,9:02..Mas Lalo nmang walang Agawam kina Marian at dd. S interview nga s dyesebel hindi prin sila closed. Beside Kung si karylle naging asawa ni dd baka matagal ng naghiwalay.

  4. Ewan ko ba Dito sa Pinas parang mali mali maging single - isang malaki kasalan. Pag mag isa ka daw kawawa ka wala mag aalaga sayo.

    1. Mas kawawa ka kapag dalawa nga kayo ikaw naman magaalaga sa kapartner mo. Bakit ba kailangan makialam sa iba.

    3. Nakakatawa kc hindi lang yan sa pinas. Even in the US Ganyan din. I encountered a granny before and she told me that I would REGRET not having a child. Pero sa isip ko cya nga may anak pero nasa alone cya sa bahay at minsanan lang mapuntahan ng mga anak niya.

    4. Magtatrabaho rin ang mga anak mo, kaya paano ka maaalagaan?

    5. Anon 12:39 bakit naman kawawa kung mag alaga ka sa partner mo or asawa mo? D ba un naman dapat?

    6. 4:09 Yes dear ganyan dapat talaga ang mag-asawa, in sickness & in health ika nga ng marriage vows.

    7. Ang importante pag tumanda ka dapat marami kang ipon at investments para hindi mo na kailangan ng "mag-aalaga sa iyo". Yung tipong sobrang yaman mo na afford mo kumuha ng abogado mo para sa mga magmamana ng assets mo, bayad na ang memorial plan mo, at may pambayad ka sa nursing home dito sa Pinas.

    8. Meron akong kakilala 11 anak nya, nagkasakit sya wala manlang willing mag alaga especially wala cyang pera. Kung may pera ka kahit wala kang anak, maraming willing mag alaga sayo. Sad reality.

    9. 156 kaylangan mo lang besh maski isang kamaganak na matulungin. Ganyan ang Mama ko, lahat ng kapamilya nya maski pamangkin or kapatid inaasikaso nya basta magkasakit or malapit na matigok. Wala syang paki kung may pera or wala kasi usually wala tlagang pera.

    10. Eto na naman ang walang kamatayang debate between single and married (or having a partner) life.🙄 Sa mga single, hindi nyo alam ang fulfilment of having a family. Iba yan sa being part of a family as a daughter/son. Yes, there are sacrifices, as with being single, but it does not take away the joy of a family life. Hindi batayan ang failed marriages ng iba to negate that. Sa mga married/may partner/anak, there are people who chose to be single or even marry and not have a child. Respect their choices. Wag magpagalingan na parang yung mga experiences nyong mga married or single lang ang benchmark for making the right choice and be happy.

  5. eto na naman si taus walang pa interview tapos puro dingdong. Noon kasi super arte mo, sa interview puro friend lang sila ni dd at ang dami niyang drama sa sop, 3x yata siyang ngpa-despedida na pupunta daw ng US, parang nagpapahabol kay dd tapos nung maging si karyle at dd na, may video sila ni dd. Pabalik balik siya rito sa pinas puro pa interview sa abs at ang topic kay dd at may pa advice pa siya kay marian while iyong marian never nagsalita about her

    2. Kulong kulo dugo mo ah. LT sila sa network. Ang network hanggat maaari ayaw ipaamin ang couple na sila na para lalong bitin sa fans ng LT.
      May nanay na may sakit. Nasalisihan pa ng akala niyang "kaibigan" na si K.
      Di lang talaga sila destined ni D. May kanya kanya na silang masayang married life. Si AT naman may ibang commitment at mission sa buhay.

    3. 12:38 echosera ka hahaha sisikat si Marian kahit hindi sya umalis sa tingin mo bagay kay AT ang Marimar sa dami ng nag audition like Karylle mismo, angel and jennylyn etc? Knorr

    4. @12:38 kahit di naman umis yan, nakatadhana talaga ang pagsikat ni Marian

    5. 12:38 please dont drag marian into this. Huwag mo na lang patulan yang si 12:17 sa kanegahan niya. Mukhang naghahanap ng ibabash. Pero konting correction... Umalagwa ang career ni dingdong nung mapartner siya kay M. Realness lang. Before Marimar, waley endorsement si Dingdong at network produced ang mga projects. Nung naging sila ni Marian, pumatok talaga siya. Sumikat si M sa merito rin naman niya hindi lang dahil kay Dingdong. Pero them together? Phenomenal!

      Delete
    6. 12:38 whthwr or not AT atayed or left has no bearing to Marian's rise. Would she have been Marimar? First off, consider that Angel Locsin was rising when AT left, may Angel Locsin pa na magrereyna sa GMA, who then left for ABS, before Marian rose to her place as Marimar. Marian and DD paired up in Marimar because Marian auditioned for it. AT's contemporaries - Sunshine Dizon, Iza Calzado, they remained kapuso pero bakit kay Marian pa rin ang Marimar? Ang layo nman. AT was a teen actress, she was also conyo. She was a singer too. But she was not a great actress or a singer, her package was a pop idol. She was never packaged for massnpopularity otherwise, naging superstar nanyan bago pa umalis. She was not destined for GMA's throne. You look at AT as if she was a Queen that vacated her throne. Puede ba, she was a teen star in a loveteam. They had teeny bopper movies and shows. That's it. Whatever she had with DD has long been over. Pamilyado na ang tao, dekada na ang lumipas. Respeto naman kahit di na kay DD at MR, sa mga anak na lang nila. Pag narinig nila yan, na dapat ang tatay nila sana sa iba, anong feeling nun kung nakakaintindi sila?

    7. I watched that interview. Antoinette never gave M an advice. She was told that she resembled M, to which A responded with "I am flattered, she's really pretty & I'm really flatterred." Wag kang fake news.

    8. Nag-audition si Antoinette sa MariMar 12:38, at si Marian Rivera ang napili.

      Delete
    9. 1:24 Kay Angel Locsin inoffer una ang Marimar. Inayawan ni Angel dahil ayaw nga sumayaw. Kahit sa isang reality show noon, nag walk out sya sa sex bomb dancers something kasi pinapa sayaw sya. Eh ayaw nya nga dahil action drama fantasy gusto nya.

      Delete
    10. 8:07 destiny talaga ni Marian ang Marimar. Nag audition si Antonette, si Karylle, pero kay Marian napunta. Ang nagsasabi na kung di umalis si AA siya ang queen ng GMA, itigil ang delusion. Nagtry si AA sa Marimar, she was not chosen. Marimar was phenomenal because it was Marian and her chemistry with DD was on point.

  6. Pag naungkat sa interview ang about kay DD, di pwedeng d mahalungkat ung kay K na friend/bff/close friend. 😁 Siguro naging part din ng delression nya un kasi ung ex nya ay jinowa ng friend nya.

    1. May ebidensiya ba na pinagsabay sila ni DD? Kung nakipagbreak si DD kay A bago naging jowa si K wala naman problema doon.

  7. Pwede ihulma yung qualities ni Antoinette and Karylle sa isang mold so ang odd na ang pinili ni DD na life partner is malayo sa kanila. MR keeps DD on his toes so i guess that works for him

    1. Agree. Nakuha sa ganda ni Marian.

    2. 10:28 anong pinagsasabi mong nakuha sa ganda ni Marian? Marian is so much more than her physical apperance. Ulirang asawa siya at nanay. I doubt kung iba naging asawa ni Dingdong, he will be as blessed, happy and fulfilled as he is right now. Grabe kayo magmaliit kay Marian.

  9. Mapaglaro talaga ang tadhana. Just because of her decision to pursue a bigger dream (na wala namang masama), her destiny of becoming a long time Philippine superstar and Mrs Dantes went to Marian.

    4. Kahit nagstay yan dito, di ka rin sure na magtatagal sila ni SD. Baka maging kathniel lag din sila. Famous on and off couple na nasanay lang sa isat isa kaya nagkahiwalay rin. Wag ilusyon masyado.

    1. In what world? Grabe naman kung magmaliit. Blind lang sa reality? Have the decency to respect the achievement of M na talagang may napatunayan naman. Sa tingin mo dinadala lang si Marian ng costars niya? Bakit ba siya ang ginagawang top star ng GMA lalo na noong kasagsagan ng network wars? Her name is the headline - Marimar, Darna, Amaya, Dyesebel, etc. hindi lang sa Pinas pati na rin sa ibang bansa na bumili ng teleserye ng GMA. Marian is happily married, with a committed husband and children. She has a good relationship with her in laws. She just became a costar to a billion peso history making movie and yet incomparable siya kay AT na matagal ng wala sa showbiz at everytime nagpi PR DD parati ang topic at nagagamit pa si Marian? Ay naku, makakarma na naman ng negative ang nagpush niyan.

  16. 4:06, and what does Antoinette have under her belt? No box office hit, no album, no top-rating show. Marian has all of them plus a happy and contented family. Volunteer work? Marian has a foundation who operates on kids with cleft palate for FREE. so, you're right. They are leagues apart. Marian is way way up there.

  18. Volunteering is a great and beautiful thing, but I dont get why we must always find purpose from other things or people, instead of loving ourselves directly and making our own selves and lives our purpose? Para hindi flimsy ang happiness.

    1. I also volunteered a lot. I even travelled to Israel. Its a good thing but also, its a way to validate the self and one's own goodness. Marami akong nameet sa Ulpan na young Americans and Canadians who volunteer to prove they are 'good' at nakalista ang volunteering nila sa CV nila. One told me that it increases their social responsibility factor. I get it, they did it for kudos points. when they were with us sa Kibbutz, they were beyond bored and couldn't wait to go home.

      Delete
    2. If you do it for validation, doesn't it defeat the purpose? Also, isn't being good not a one-time validation but lifetime? It's a way of life, it applies to choices we make everyday. Please don't get me wrong, I have nothing against volunteering, and in fact, I wish more people volunteered because it means people or creatures that need help get them, but I just wish that instead of finding reasons and purposes through the others, whether it's people or things, we should do it for ourselves. This is how we become real with ourselves and not see us through others, and become unbreakable if we work on ourselves instead of others.

      Delete
    3. 9:59 Ako si 5:00 pm. Yes, if you do it for validation, nawawala ang point ng volunteering. Also, if done for a sense of status amd to pad the CV, parang giangamit lang ang concept ng volunteering for self interest.
