By Cara Emmeline Garcia

“There is no 'I' in the word 'team,'” and the words could not be more true for Kapuso Primetime King Dingdong Dantes.

On Instagram, the Kapuso actor introduced the men behind his long-awaited delivery app, DingDong PH, to whom he described as his “Dream Team.”

On Sunday, he said, “I recognize that my first business venture is show business, and my strength lies in telling stories and realities through my craft.

“This time, with DingDong, I will be able to share stories of our merchants, who we intend to grow with. Our riders, who want to uplift and professionalize. And our consumers, who have been discerning because of the new normal.

“And I am just grateful to have the dream team with me to turn this shared vision to reality.”

With him are the following: Head of Mulitsys Technologies Corp. David Almirol Jr., lawyer Mark Gorriceta, software entrepreneur Joey Gurango, consultant Raffy Maramag, TV commercial director Sid Maderazo, entrepreneur Ranvel Rufino, and Philippine Superbike Champion Raniel Resuello.

According to Dingdong, he and the team are very excited to launch the service.

“Together, we're excited to bring this passion project to fruition, and to be able to build back better lives, and empower sectors through the DingDong platform and online community.”

It was on June 13 when Dingdong revealed that he is soon launching a delivery app that will employ displaced workers from the entertainment industry as riders.

He has since been hands-on in the whole process, such as conducting a basic first aid course and partnering with A1 Driving School to ensure proper training for its drivers.

According to their social media accounts, the DingDong app will be ringing “your doorbells soon.”
