Malayo man sa kaniyang pamilya, hindi naman naging hadlang ito upang mabati ng happy 6th birthday ni Daddy Dingdong Dantes ang panganay na anak na si Zia, noong Nobyembre 23.
Malungkot si Daddy Dingdong dahil hindi siya kasama ng kaniyang pamilya sa selebrasyon, dahil nasa lock-in taping siya sa pagbabalik-teleserye niya: ang 'AlterNate' na mapapanood sa Primetime ng GMA Network. Mukhang matatagalan bago siya makauwi sa kaniyang pamilya.
"Dear Z, For the last six years, this is the first time that I haven’t had you under my armpits for this long. I can just imagine how your Lolo Jigg felt when he worked in a cruise ship for one year in HKG when I was around 8 years old. It's kinda hard for me, but the thought of you being safe and happy there at home with your mom and brother makes me at peace," ani Daddy Dingdong sa kaniyang Instagram post para kay Zia.
Hello, Love, Again, kumita ng ₱85M sa unang araw!
Ibinahagi niya ang video nila ng kaniyang anak habang sila ay nagja-jamming.
"This last video that we did together definitely makes me miss you more-- you were amazing!"
"Don’t worry, when I get back home, we’ll definitely make more memories with these after-dinner songs, which will come after your regular animated storytelling of how your day had transpired."
"It has been 20 days since i left and despite the gloominess of this rest day, there is this indescribable feeling of joy knowing that on this day, God has gifted the world with someone like you."
"Happy 6th, Ate Z. When you're a bit older, I hope you’ll understand why Dada isn’t with you on this special day."
"For now, I'll just have to play this over and over till I have you back under my armpits again."
"Forgive me for posting this, for I can't help falling in love with you. Love, DaD," saad pa ni Dingdong para sa panganay nilang junakis ni Marian Rivera.
