"I LIKE DINGDONG A LOT"

Emirates 24/7, 20-Jan-2013: Janine Tugonon, the first runner-up at the 2012 Miss Universe beauty pageant, has not only signified her interest of joining show business but also her choice of a would-be leading man.  If she had her way, Ms Tugonon, who is also a licensed pharmacist, would want to star in a movie opposite Dingdong Dantes, an award-wining actor and one of the mainstays of the Kapuso network GMA-7. She has revealed in a recent radio interview that Mr Dantes is her idol, saying he does not only have good looks but is also a very good actor.  “I like Dingdong a lot,” she said. “It would be good if we could do a love story kind of movie together. He’s such a good actor, and I really look up to him when it comes to acting.”

 Dingdong is Dean Harris' idol, too!
