ANG PROBINSYANO – The Kapuso actor Dingdong Dantes sends a letter to the producer of Coco Martin’s show following controversial use of their photos without consent.
The FPJAP, being one of the most-watched show, has recently gathered social media attention after being found out of using two photos of Dantes family in some of the episodes of their show.
This has made a stir after the fans of Team Dantes have claimed that the show used the photos without the consent of the photographer and the owner.

In line with this, the patriarch of the prominent family took his action about the matter and sends a letter to the producer of the show for formality purposes regarding the claims.
In his Facebook post, the actor has indicated, “A letter has already been forwarded to the production team of Ang Probinsyano. This was done, in good faith, to express my dismay and deep concern.”
Moreover, based on the social media post, an excerpt from the letter read, “I appreciate that you found artistic inspiration from the original photos. Unfortunately, there is the inescapable consequence that legal and moral rights were violated here. And as you may very well be aware of, established industry practice is against such act as it amounts to disrespect.”
“Worst of all, as a father and husband, I cannot help but feel offended and deeply hurt by such actions, which happened not just once, but twice. Basic rules of courtesy, in this case, dictate that you first secure permission from the photographer and my Family.”
