A lot of people were surprised when the news broke out that teleserye and GMA 7 star Marian Rivera left her manager of seven years Popoy Caritativo,. While only a few knew the reason why Marian decided to move to Triple A talent management owned by Mr. Tony Tuviera, actor Dindong Dantes had been already dragged into the issue.
Rumors were circulating that one of the reasons why Marian cut her ties with her manager was because he was not in favor of Dingdong marrying his prized talent. According to unconfirmed reports, the reel and real lovebirds are planning to tie the knot this December. Perry Lansigan, Dingdong’s manager, however, cleared that no wedding will happen.
Dingdong has also said that there is no truth to the marriage rumors. As per the reason why Marian and Popoy going their separate ways, he refuses to comment on anything — whether he was the reason or not.
