Kapuso primetime king Dingdong Dantes celebrates his birthday as he turn 40-years-old!!

Dingdong plans of celebrating his big 4-0 in a ’90s rock, Oktoberfest-themed all-out party on August 2, was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic, however there are still a lot of things to be happy about.

“I’m still grateful because this day is a reminder of His blessings and my life’s greatest gifts,” Dingdong said in a recent Instagram post.

Among those “greatest gifts” are two of the most important women in his life: his mother, Angeline Dantes, “who brought me into this world,” and his wife, Marian Rivera, “my rock and core. As a father and husband, Dingdong’s ppreciation for his mother grew deeper as he related himself to her when he also became a parent to his children, Zia 4-year-old and Ziggy their 1-year-old son.

“ had to have my own children to make me realize the sacrifices that our mothers do for us. She literally put her life on the line for me,” he wrote.

“Whenever I get a birthday greeting, I also celebrate her strength, love and commitment in raising a ‘kulit’ boy like me,” he added.

The actor also paid tribute to wife Marian, to whom he owes the wonderful family life he now enjoys, “Building a family of my own and reaching milestones have been a blissful and contented journey because I have her as my partner in and for life.”

“Whenever you greet me, I, too, laud her dedication, care and love for me and our children, who have brought so much meaning to our marriage and our lives,” the actor added.

“I honor our Creator, who has made all things possible and surmountable for me all throughout these years. So, I welcome and embrace your well-wishes so that I can continue glorifying Him,” Dingdong said as he thanks God for his life.

“Open a bottle of beer for me and, distantly, I would like to thank you for being part of my ongoing life’s journey,” he said as he ends his post.
