Congratulations to Dingdong Dantes for his latest feat! The Kapuso Primetime King is now part of the Mowelfund board of trustees.
Whenever he would walk his sisters to their classes, Dingdong would also pass by the Mowdelfund building, which stood “right next to my sisters’ school” in their “quaint neighborhood of Cubao.”
He said he has always prayed “for a chance where my passion could make a difference, where my deepest enthusiasm could intersect with meaningful purpose.”
“As fate would have it, I found myself embracing that dream through Mowelfund — an institution wit hate primary goal of uplifting, empowering, and advancing the welfare of the men and women in front of and behind the movie and TV industries,” he continued.
When he received an invitation to be part of their Board of Trustees, “saying yes was probably one of the easiest decisions I have had to make,” Dingdong said.
“I am grateful that I now have privilege to give back to the industry that has been a significant part of my life, and drawing from the wisdom acquired during my tenure at the Yespinoy Foundation, I lend my expertise to support the dedicated individuals who bring magic to our screens.”
Working with other board members whom he already respects and admires, Dingdong described his new endeavor as exciting.
“Together we are bound by a shared mission: To uplift and advance the welfare of the remarkable workers who breathe life into our beloved entertainment world.”
Mowelfund, or the Movie Workers Welfare Foundation Inc., is a non-stock, non-profit social welfare, educational, and industry development foundation. Established in 1974 by Joseph “Erap” Ejercito Estrada, its aim is to serve marginalized workers in the Philippine movie industry.
