It’s all over the news! Top Filipino celebrity Dingdong Dantes is reportedly set to resign as commissioner from the National Youth Commission (NYC). This follows Monday’s resignation of NYC chairman Gio Tingson “to campaign for the ruling party for the May 9 elections.”

The report quotes the account of an inside source who revealed the abject desperation behind the motives of the LP…
“Mar and Leni’s numbers do not fare well among the youth sector. They need to project that they have the support of the youth but they could hardly muster independent volunteers and pro-bono artists,” the source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said.
“This is the reason why the NYC commissioners are being asked to resign and go full-time for the LP campaign,” he added.
Interestingly enough, Dingdong Dantes was recently the subject of a media circus surrounding the “thoughtless extravagance” he and now-wife Marian Rivera exhibited during their lavish 2014 wedding. The gown of Rivera (now Mrs. Dantes) alone allegedly cost two million pesos and the wedding cake, a 12-foot masterpiece of Filipino food franchise Goldilocks Inc (which Dantes was, at the time, under contract to endorse), reportedly cost seven million pesos.
Let them eat this 7M-peso wedding cake!
That’s quite unfortunate for the embattled PR team of the Liberal Party (LP) which had suffered a string of public relations and mass communication gaffes that have all but killed the bid for the presidency and vice presidency of LP candidates Mar Roxas and Leni Robredo.
Then again, perhaps the LP spin meisters may be counting on Filipino voters being too star-struck by the celebrity glitter of the Danteses. Will the Dingdong Dantes ace up the LP’s sleeve prove to be a boon or a bust to the fortunes of Mar and Leni in these elections?
As always…
Abangan ang susunod na kabanata.

Yeah, he’s a real “Dingdong”!
Did someone say dingdong?!
Ooh!
You touched my tralala!
Who in the hell would ever take a dingdong serious? They would have to be a dingdong of the highest order themselves to take seriously anyone named dingdong.
The yellows are relying on the stupidity of the filipino people.
Not this time. As if more advertisement will help some damaged goods. Mar Roxas is a hopeless case.
Fix first the MRT, hire back the PNP officer whom they sacked because he said 10,000 death versus the 2,000 estimate of PNoy during Yolanda, stop run-away smuggling during the last five years, which has wreck havoc on manufacturing and agriculture, etc, and all other man made disasters like the one called Honrado and all their other lies. (Tip: change back name of NAIA, which is now NAIYAK, to MIA)
Cge, isali pa nila lahat ng artista sa pambobola nila, wala ng pag-asa yan Roxas-Robredo team, Period.
who’s next after Dongding?
AlDub?
Anne Curtis???

Just a matter of time….
Which reminds me, people. VOTE Raffy Alunan for Senator. He is the best.
RAFFY ALUNAN
RAFFY ALUNAN

The dying Mar/Leni tandem? !!! Just a waste
of money , time, and effort…they are doomed
to lose… especially with Kris’ endorsement

A bridge has no allegiance to either side.
