AMAZING. THAT was our reaction to what we recently read about the much-talked about wedding of Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes.
The wedding, as alleged by one website cost over P100 million. Yes, Virginia, P100 million.
“Over 100M-peso cost of #DongYanWedding shouldered by GMA Network as publicity investment!”
‘Yan ang nakakalokang headline ng isang website, ang GRP Shorts, na talaga namang ikinaloka namin.
Pero ang higit na nakakaloka, ang GMA-7 daw ang gumastos sa kasal ng magdyowa. How ridiculous can someone get?
“I was correct with my gut feelings. My friendly butiki, who listens to everything inside the executive offices of GMA7, confirmed that it was the network that paid for everything (repeat, everything) in the so called ‘royal wedding’. It was over Php100m on the wedding day alone, not including other expenses in the pre-nuptial activities. This is an eye-popping amount if it is just a wedding expense (as I am one of those who think that a 20m wedding is already stupid and insensitive in a Third World setting, even if one could afford a 500m one). Over 100m, however, is a justifiable amount, even cheap vis-a-vis the ROI, if it is accounted as marketing and advertising expense of a large corporation that regularly spends much more anyway in their ads and promos,” sabi sa article.
Aba, sobra na yata ang kumpiyansa ng network kina Marian at Dingdong para mag-invest sila ng mahigit P100 million sa kasal ng magdyowa. Kung true ang chika, we don’t know kung anong return of investment ang mangyayari sa network dahil ang feeling namin ay palubog na sina Marian at Dingdong.
Mahirap paniwalaan ang ganitong chika lalo pa’t nanggaling sa mismong wedding coordinator ng magdyowa na si Dingdong mismo ang gumastos sa kasal. We just don’t know if the rumored P30 million wedding is true.
TILA BUWISIT na buwisit na ang netizens sa never-ending stories about Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes. Sobrang naumay na sila sa walang patid na kuwento about the royal couple kuno. Para kasing sila ang pinakasikat na showbiz couple, lahat ng nangyayari sa buhay nila ay parang telenovela kung i-present sa social media.
Ang latest, nag-post si Tim Yap ng Boracay trip yata ng couple. The TV host posted a photo of Dingdong kissing Marian, swet-sweet-an ang kanilang drama.
Kaya lang, mas marami ang nainis sa paglabas ng photo, mas marami ang naumay, mas marami ang nairita at nasuka. Kasi naman, nasa honeymoon stage ang couple pero pati ‘yung kanilang loving-loving moments ay kinunan pa ng photo at ipinost pa sa social media.
“Pwedi bang tigiln na yang Marian at Dingdong , makakaumay na po. Pag naghiwalay yan tignan natin kung d pa cla tumahimik.”
“Baka gusto nyo rin ianounce ang mangyayari sa honeymoon?”
“ang ingay nila dapat private na yan ehh tapus sasabihin babatikusin sila ng haters.”
“Pati ba naman honeymoon… Grabe naman.”
Those were the comments we read. Buti nga sa inyo!!!
