MANILA, Philippines — Kapuso actress Marian Rivera confirmed that her husband, actor Dingdong Dantes, will run at the upcoming 2019 elections. 

Speaking with the media following her launch as Canesten endorser, Marian said that while she still did not know what position her husband is eyeing for, she affirmed speculations that Dingdong has political ambition. 

"Hindi ko alam kung anong position, pero definitely, yes, tatakbo siya," she revealed. 

The Kapuso “Primetime Queen” also said that she will support her husband in whatever plan he wants to hatch. She also advised the public to wait for Dingdong to formally announce his candidacy. 

"Panget siguro kung sa akin manggagaling, 'Oy, tatakbo ‘yung asawa ko ha. ‘Oy ganitong posisyon siya.' Siguro ibigay natin sa kanya ‘yun, kung tatakbo siya kung hindi siya tatakbo, nasa kanya yan," she said.

"Kasi wala pa kaming usap na one-on-one o heart-to-heart kasi busy siya sa mga pinupuntahan niyang foundation niya. So, hayaan nating ibigay sa asawa ko ‘yun. Siya mismo, ilatag niya sa inyo, kung tatakbo ba siya o hindi at kung anong posisyon." 

Dingdong has been supporting advocacies on environment and climate change. He is also chairman of YesPinoy Foundation, manager of his own film outfit AgostoDos Pictures, and appointed by former Pres. Benigno Aquino III as commissioner-at-large of the National Youth Commission.

Apart from aspiring to join politics, the Kapuso actor is busy doing his upcoming GMA teleserye, "Cain at Abel," with Dennis Trillo. — Video by Kat Leandicho
