MANILA, Philippines --- “My Beloved,” top-rating primetime show of real-life couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera on GMA 7 goes on its final week.

“Kaya abangan ninyo ang ending nito with all the conflicts, the twists and surprises. Maraming magaganap, mga unpredictable na mangyayari,” said Dingdong in an interview last week before they shot their wedding scene at the historic Sta. Ana church in Manila.

Is he satisfied with the ending of the story? “Oo naman, sa lahat ng pinagdaanan ng mga characters, dapat lang na maging ganun ang ending.”

From Marian, “Okay lang ang ending. Yong wedding namin, given na yon. Sa lahat naman na ginawa namin na show laging may wedding, kaya masaya. Pero hindi lahat masaya sa ending, may mga mamamatay din. But all in all, contented naman kami sa magiging katapusan ng seryeng ito. But of course, it would be sometime before Dong and I can be together again in another TV show.”

After the wedding scene shoot, Dingdong left for New York to grace the Philippine Independence Day celebration there. After which he will proceeds to Canada for some shows with Marian and some other Kapuso stars.

“Inggit na ako kay Dong kasi wala akong New York,” Marian said. She has to tape some scenes yet for “My Beloved” and her other show “Tweets for My Sweet,” and will also give an exclusive magazine interview. “The day after the interview, saka lang ako makakaalis.”

“Excited ako sa trip namin na ito. Two weeks siguro kami mawawala so kahit papaano, makakapahinga naman kami. Ang tagal na na gusto ko magbakasyon, pero maraming dumating na projects so tanggap lang ng tanggap,” she laughed. “These are blessings that I am most grateful for.”

When he comes back, Dingdong will start working on a movie. He will also be one of the hosts of the forthcoming next episode of “Protégé.”
