Angeline Quinto, Marian Rivera ABS-CBN
Given that network wars dominated the local entertainment industry for years, it was a breath of fresh air not just for fans but for co-celebrities of primetime queen and king Marian Rivera and Dingdong Dantes to see the couple at the walls of ABS-CBN.
Promoting their first-ever project under Star Cinema and in collaboration with APT Entertainment and AgostoDos Media, the showbiz royalties were spotted at the Ignacia-based network, and singer Angeline Quinto was not able to contain her excitement seeing the couple.
In one of the videos of Rivera and Dantes’s ABS-CBN visit, the couple were seen interacting with reporters and singer Gari Valenciano when all of a sudden, a shriek can be heard. It was Quintos, who happened to be passing by the hallway and could not help but fangirl over the Kapuso actress.
“Marian! Oh my god!” the Star Power winner shouted. Rivera turned to look at her and appeared to recognize her. She said, “Sorry po, nahiya ako bigla.”

Netizens’ reactions
Despite the simple interaction, netizens expressed their welcoming reactions to the video. According to them, they can relate to Angeline because if they see Marian in person too, they will shout as well, given how beautiful she is.
“Hahahahahaha, Angeline Quinto is very me. Ganyan din ako pag nakita ko si Marian,” one netizen wrote. Meanwhile, other social media users said that it is innate in Angeline’s personality to express such candid reactions.
“Yung bunganga ni Angeline is the reason why I love her; she’s so funny, even in the concert of Regine Velasquez, sumigaw din sya,” wrote TikTok user Shane.
“Si Angge naman, parang nasa kanto lang. Kung nandyan si meme, tawang tawa na naman yun sayo,” wrote @HvnBnfc.
In one of the Kapuso couple’s interviews, Dingdong weighed in on the network war that used to exist between their home network and ABS-CBN.
“Wala na talaga [ang network war],” he said. “Wala na ‘yung line na ‘yun. I am just so proud that it’s literally happening right now—we have collaborations here and there, hindi lang sa pelikula kung ‘di pati sa telebisyon.’
The Danteses topbills the family drama titled “Rewind,” one of the entries for this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF). Rewind will mark DongYan’s comeback on the big screen.
