Dingdong Dantes says Coco Martin to announce new AKTOR project soon

MANILA, Philippines — Actor and TV host Dingdong Dantes said that an upcoming project with fellow actor Coco Martin aims to benefit the Philippine entertainment industry.

Dingdong and Coco recently caught the attention of fans after they were seen together during a meeting of the League of Filipino Actors (AKTOR). Their meeting sparked speculations online about a possible collaboration.

During his endorsement event for Marstek Power Station on Wednesday, July 29, Dingdong confirmed that discussions are ongoing but said he would let Coco announce the project himself.

"Gusto ko man mag-share ng details pero ayaw ko muna i-spoil ang details dahil magkakaroon siya ng separate announcement," Dingdong said.

"Excited na ako maibahagi 'yon very soon, pero for now, pinag-uusapan na namin ang detalye at nasa planning stage, at gusto ko siya ang mag-announce."

When asked if he would also be part of the project, Dingdong gave no definite answer but praised Coco for coming up with the idea.

"Baka... siguro. Pero inaayos namin. Ang idea na 'to ay nanggaling sa kanya, at bilib na bilib talaga ako sa kanyang dedication at sa kanyang utak sa mga ganitong bagay na para talaga sa industriya. Ramdam na ramdam mo talaga ang kanyang pagmamahal at dedikasyon," he said.

Dingdong was also asked if there was a chance for his GMA series "The Master Cutter" to have a crossover with Coco's ABS-CBN series "Sigabo."

The actor said he likes the idea, "Why not? Hindi ko masasagot pa 'yon sa ngayon, pero napakagandang idea niyan." 

For now, Dingdong said the project is still in the planning stage, with Coco expected to make the official announcement at a later date.
