The actor made the statement during the media day event of Esquire Philippines held on Friday, June 5, where he was introduced as the magazine’s “The Modern Filipino Gentleman” cover star for its June issue.
During a panel discussion with select members of the press and content creators, Dingdong emphasized the importance of being intentional with time and energy amid a busy lifestyle.
“Mahalaga talaga may awareness ka sa pagbalanse ng lahat. Hindi lang puwedeng puro trabaho, hindi rin naman puwedeng wala. Kailangan may ginagawa kang mahalaga para sa sarili mo at para sa pamilya mo,” he said.

He further stressed his personal approach to rest, highlighting weekends as a critical reset period.
“It's always important to strike that balance. Kaya para sa akin, I really treat my weekends very sacredly. Hangga't maaari, sana wala akong ibang iniisip at walang ibang ginagawa. Medyo bihira rin masunod, pero at the very least, 'yung mga Sundays,” the Kapuso actor noted.
Despite his demanding career in showbiz, brand endorsements, and his film production company AgostoDos Pictures, Dingdong shared that he still finds fulfillment in simple family routines.
He said that whenever his schedule allows, he personally brings his children to school and picks them up afterward, emphasizing the value of presence in parenting.
“And when I do not have work like taping o kaya mga pelikula na ginagawa, gusto ko rin naghahatid ako ng mga kids. Pati 'yung nagsusundo. At kung ako naman ang hindi puwede, si Marian naman ang gumagawa nun,” he shared.
Beyond work-life balance, Dingdong also underscored the importance of health maintenance, particularly as he reaches his mid-40s.
“We really have to take care of our health. Napakahalaga talaga ng kalusugan, lalo na sa mga nasa '40s. Ako, I'm already in my mid-40s. We always want to be strong for our loved ones. We always want to be strong so that we can be present. Mahalaga talaga na alagaan ang kalusugan,” he said.
His message resonated with audiences who are increasingly navigating burnout, long work hours, and digital overload, reinforcing the idea that rest is not a luxury but a necessity.
Widely recognized as GMA Network's "Kapuso Primetime King," Dingdong Dantes is one of the most prolific and decorated leading men in Philippine cinema and television. He recently cemented his historic box-office legacy alongside his wife, Marian Rivera, in the record-breaking drama Rewind, and continues to engage audiences as the award-winning host of Family Feud Philippines.
In another report, Marian Rivera inspired fans after reflecting on her journey from a simple provincial life to becoming a recognized face in luxury brand representation. The award-winning actress opened up about the challenges she faced throughout her career, including moments of self-doubt, vulnerability, and fear while navigating the entertainment industry.
