It’s a different fulfillment that Dingdong Dantes gets as he helps tell the fascinating stories about our wonderful planet in GMA’s much-awarded infotainment program “Amazing Earth,” which is on its fourth year.
“More than 200 episodes at apat na taon na pala ‘yon, ang bilis! Hindi na lang siya basta trabaho para sakin, kundi way of life ko na rin. Bumalik ako sa pagiging estudyante ng buhay,” he said.
On its fourth year, he said they are gearing up for more exciting and adventourous stories.
“I’m very grateful dahil marami pa kaming ipapakitang kuwento, hindi lang tungkol sa mga hayop at kapaligiran kundi pati ang amazing Earth heroes na laging ipinaglalaban ang kalikasan. Marami pa kaming ibibida na mga hidden travel destination.”
Actress Glaiza de Castro joined the anniversary celebration by giving a tour of her house in picturesque Baler Province. She also showcased her Zumba skills together with the other enthusiasts in Luneta Park. Then YouTuber and content creator Spartacus “Spart” Farnacio surprised viewers with his death-defying adventure at El Fraile, an abandoned battleship in Manila Bay.
This coming Sunday, July 17, Dingdong will take the audience on an epic journey around the country and the seven continents with stories from the series “Epic Yellowstone: Life on the Wing.”
