TEAMUP COMING TO A CLOSE. Marian and Dingdong admitted that their love team is coming to a close, though they hinted that this won't be the last. "Sa ngayon, oo, totoo 'yon," said Dingdong.

"Sobrang malungkot talaga ako," Marian added. "Lagi ko sinasabi na nakasama ko siya [Dingdong] ng two years, e. Nagsimula ako sa Marimar na kasama ko siya, sa Dyesebel, hanggang sa last soap naming dalawa. Parang walang katumbas 'yon, e. Hindi sa hindi sanay, pero parang hindi ko maisip ang sarili ko na may ka-partner na iba... Aaminin ko talaga na malungkot ako."

Now that Marian has a new project (Darna), does Dingdong feel any regret about being separated from Marian?

"I would like to look at it from a brighter side," commented Dingdong. "Ang samahan namin as a tandem, e, maraming great experiences. Maraming highlights ang nangyari sa buhay namin pareho at maraming buhay ang na-touch. Maraming tao din ang nag-get together, maraming nagkakilala dahil sa ginawa namin. For that, ito ang masayang alaala na forever na matatandaan namin. Malungkot man, pero mas maraming positive, e."

So what's in store for Dingdong now? Does he have any plans right now?

Dingdong quipped, "Gagawin na namin yung Batman III... Pero maraming plans."

MESSAGE TO MARIAN. Dingdong expressed his full support for Marian's next project as Darna. He said, "Alam ko na matagal na niya itong gustong gawin. Matagal na niya itong hinihintay. Ako ay very proud na finally dumating sa kanya. Nandito ako parati para suportahan siya."

Then he joked, "Kung kailangan na tagahila ng harness, ako hihila ng harness!"
