One of the alumni of first season of the original reality-based artista search 'StarStruck,' Dion has come a long way in his showbiz career and throughout his 16 years of being a Kapuso, he has been blessed with numerous projects and feels grateful for his relationship with the Network.

“Sobrang saya ko, maituturing ko na blessing ito in life, panibagong work na naman. Thankful ako sa GMA dahil hindi ako pinapabayaan, lagi akong may shows. Nag-start ako noong 2004, sobrang loyal ko sa network at dito na talaga ako lumaki,” he said.

He continued, “As an artist, tuwing may work sila na pinagkakatiwala sa akin, lagpas 100% ang binibigay ko. Thankful ako sa trust nila sa akin.”

After starring in the drama series Hiram Na Anak earlier this year, Dion is now part of the top-rating GMA Afternoon Prime series Magkaagaw.

“Dito, 'yung character ko, crush ko si Klea (Pineda) pero pigil ako dahil alam kong may asawa na siya. Abangan nila kung ano pa 'yung mga susunod namin na mga eksena nina Klea at Jeric (Gonzales) at abangan din nila 'yung maiinit na eksena sa Magkaagaw. Paganda nang paganda 'yung istorya ng show,” he shared.

GMA Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable warmly acknowledges Dion's hard work and dedication as an actor. She said, “One of the earlier original StarStruck survivors and he is still doing very well. He's now in Magkaagaw na mataas ang ratings, nakakatuwa na nagsi-stick siya sa GMA, homegrown 'yan.”

Present in the contract-signing were GMA Senior Vice President for Entertainment Group Lilybeth G. Rasonable, GMA Senior Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMA Artist Center Assistant Vice President and Head for Talent Imaging and Marketing Unit Simoun Ferrer, and GMA Artist Center Senior Talent Manager Daryl Zamora.
