Celebrity couple Dingdong Dantes and Marian Rivera visited ABS-CBN’s long-running noontime show It’s Showtime for the first time on Saturday, December 16.
The couple made an appearance on the Kapamilya program to promote their Metro Manila Film Festival movie Rewind.
Dingdong said that working with his wife is what he is most grateful for this year.
“Grateful ako na sa pagkakataong ito nabigyan ako ng pagkakataong makatrabaho ang asawa ko kasi sobrang busy po niya tapos nung nabigyan kami ng chance to work together parang di siya trabaho. Para kaming nagde-date araw-araw kaya pinagpapasalamat ko talaga ‘yun,” he said.
The couple last worked together in a movie thirteen years ago prior to Rewind.
When asked what about the difference between spending time together at home and at work, Marian shared: “Palagi kong sinasabi parang wala, kasi kung ano kami sa bahay ganun din kami sa trabaho namin.”
“So, palaging nilo-look forward lang namin na magkasama kami together kasi sa bahay may mga kids eh so nahahati. Konti kanya marami sa kids,” she added.

When it comes to acting, the couple admitted that their kissing scene in the movie was the most challenging part to do among all the scenes in the film.
“‘Yun nga ang pinakanahirapan kaming eksena ‘yung kissing scene namin eh kasi di namin alam kung paano gagawin,” Dingdong explained.
Marian further elaborated: “Totoo yun ha? Sa dami ng ginawa namin sa movie na medyo mabibigat na eksena dun kami medyo nailang sa aming intimate scene.”
“Ang weird kasi malalaman niyo kung paano kami sa personal. Ang hirap i-acting kaya sabi namin kay direk pwede ba dim light lang, may silhouette lang kami,” she continued.
Rewind is set to premiere on December 25 as part of the Metro Manila Film Festival.
In an interview during the press conference about the movie, Marian shared that Rewind is one of her dream films.
“Kahit nung mga draft ‘yung pinapanood namin, tapos pinapanood nila sa’kin. Sinasabi ko kay Dong, ‘dad totoo ba to?’ kasi hindi nag sisink in sa’kin na ito na ba yun? Nakakaproud na nakagawa ako ng isang pangarap kong pelikula,” she stated.
