Primetime King and Commissioner at Large of the National Youth Commission Dingdong Dantes participated in the GMA News Online-I M Ready Earthquake Preparedness Forum, held last May 22.

Dingdong expressed gratitude for information campaigns such as these, but added that people do have a tendency to forget the things discussed, especially now that we have a quicker pace of information exchange.

"We are very grateful that we have these information campaigns especially now. Pero alam naman natin na minsan kasi 'pag lumipas na, tapos na natin talakayin at pag-usapan, may tendency po na makalimutan. Ano pa ba ang further steps to enhance (information campaigns) all the more?" he asked the panel.

Metro Manila Development Authority chairman Atty. Francis Tolentino addressed the Primetime King's question. "Maganda ang question ni Dong. Next week, we expect to meet the 72 barangay chairmen of the 72 barangays straddling West Valley Fault. Next week, we intend to roll out our mobile earthquake house," 

As active as he is in many public service activities, Dingdong recently denied having any political plans in 2016.

The father-to-be is currently busy with his primetime drama series Pari'Koy and states that his current priorities are his coming baby and his wife Marian.
