During the event, Marian delivered a question to one of the contestants, Jether Palomo, in Tagalog, “Paano mo gagamitin ang opportunity na ito kahit natapos na ang competition na ito?” However, he didn’t understand the question and asked the actress to translate it into English.
“I’m sorry, can I get English, please?” he said. Marian’s humorous comments before translating the question made the audience laugh.
“I will try my best. Are you ready for this?” she emphasized. “Listen very carefully. Here’s my question.”
“Your social media following grew when you became a finalist. How would you use this opportunity even after your SuperBod journey?” she asked, drawing cheers from the audience. “I think you understand that,” she added.
Dingdong penned a humorous yet sweet appreciation post for Marian following that moment, sharing a stunning photo of his wife. He praised her beauty and natural talent in making Filipinos laugh that night.
“Hindi lang ang iyong panlabas na kagandahan ang nagningning kagabi, kundi pati na rin ang natural mong talento sa pagpapasaya at pagpukaw sa puso ng mga Pilipino,” he wrote. “Isang masigabong palakpak para sa iyo, Misis ko.”
(It wasn’t just your outward beauty that shined last night, but also your natural talent for entertaining and captivating the hearts of Filipinos. A round of applause for you, my wife.)
“P.S. ‘Di kailangang i-translate sa ingles, gets niyo na ‘to,” he concluded his post, referencing Marian’s moment at the competition.
(P.S. No need to translate this in English; I’m sure you guys understand what I mean.)
In the comments section, Marian jokingly replied, “Love you mahal ko. Sa susunod ikaw na tatawagan ko para mag translate!”
(Love you, my love. Next time, I’ll call you to translate.)
Marian and Dingdong have been happily married since 2014. They have two children, Zia and Sixto.
