"He valued people more than just doing his job. He believed in inclusivity, fairness, charity, love for country, and most of all— dedication to his family. That, for me, makes him more than a King— but a hero. SIYA ANG TUNAY NA LODI." Dingdong Dantes on Fernando Poe Jr. 

Napakalaki ng pasasalamat ni Dingdong Dantes para sa natanggap niyang FPJ Memorial Award sa 2017 FAMAS Awards.

Hindi man nakadalo si Dingdong sa mismong awards night dahil sa bakasyon kasama ang kanyang pamilya, ang pinsan niyang si Carlo Gonzalez naman ang tumanggap ng award at nagbigay ng mensahe ng pasasalamat ni Dingdong.

 

Last December 28, @jcdgonz received this trophy on my behalf. He also delivered a message which i want to share with you. Here goes.... “Magandang gabi po. Kasalukuyang nasa Mindanao po ako ngayon kasama ng aking mag-ina at buong pamilya para sa isang maiksing bakasyon. Ako po ay isa sa milyong-milyong tagahanga ni Fernando Poe, Jr. Sayang nga lang at hindi ko na siya nakita o nakilala nang personal. In my 19 years of being in this industry, he has always been one persona who guides me in making decisions throughout my career. Having known his body of work, and more so his character behind camera— he truly is the one and only KING of Philippine cinema. I am humbled and grateful to receive this recognition which i highly dedicate to my wife, and my daughter Letizia. I also want to share this award to all the men and women whom i have worked with— those who tirelessly dedicate their talent to earn a living for their respective families— from the crew, stunt men, cameramen, creatives, technicals, Production designers, musical directors, art directors, directors, staff, co-actors, and producers. Without one of these talents, none of the beautiful content that we now enjoy and appreciate would have come to life. FPJ, i believe, was present in all these tasks. He valued people more than just doing his job. He believed in inclusivity, fairness, charity, love for country, and most of all— dedication to his family. That, for me, makes him more than a King— but a hero. He may have portrayed heroes on the big screen, but in real life, he was indeed one. This award will definitely drive me to always passionately do my best in all my endeavors, wether on cam, or off cam. Sabi nga ni Chris Lowney, one of my favorite authors in leadership, “Heroism is a commitment to a way of life in pursuit of goals and dreams greater than oneself.” I may not have met FPJ, but his spirit, influence, and inspiration will forever be alive, and will evolve in me. SIYA ANG TUNAY NA LODI. Maraming salamat po.”
