Ever since Dingdong Dantes intimated to the press that his Christmas gift for Marian is ging to be the “very best” and that it represents everything that Marian has worked so hard for, the fans are guessing left and right what that gift is. Mr. Dantes shared more clues if you could call them as that…
"Kasi gagawin siya, e. One month to go na lang, Pasko na,"
"Basta isa siyang ano… isa siyang parang matibay na simbolo ng kanyang mga nagawa."
"Ginagawa siya, at ang gagawa nun ay isang specialist,"
"Hindi e, kasi yung tape, puwedeng mawala. Ito, hindi talaga basta mawawala, matatag talaga."
"Kumbaga sa pesos, e, wala yung million. Nasa effort at saka higit pa dun, yung kahalagahan nun, hindi matutumbasan ng pera."
"Narinig ko kasi once, na parang nabanggit niya dati, tapos naalala ko. And it’s something also that I want to have. So feeling ko, kapag ibinigay ko sa kanya yun, matutuwa siya because it is also something that she would want to have," (SOURCE)
So, what do you think this gift is? Why are we guessing? Coz we’re nosy, that’s why
First we thought maybe a certain someone flying in from Spain to surprise Marian courtesy of Dingdong but now we’re not sure. Now we have 3 guesses:
That’s our guesses, so what’s yours? It could be a house too..

its possible to be a statue, but not necessarily a darna one. a friend was supposed to make a bust of marian as lady justice but the client was a judge. anyway, point being, im not sure if that pushed through but if marian knew about that, maybe she thought it was a cool idea and told dingdong.
but it would be sweeter if it was the spain surprise. or a ring.

Originally my guess was:
-Spain
but after reading the article:
-Painting
-Statue
i’m more to the statue cause DD already gave marian a painting of her…i think.
Can’t wait!

On his word i think it is a darna-statue.
daisy said on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, 1:43
I think it’s the same w/ you guys. A statue of Marian but it is not necessarily Darna. That’s my guess.

maybe a car or a ring.

my guess has always been a sculpture of marian’s characters because i remember that dong has a close friend who is an artist (painter/sculpture) who made artworks for his house. it could be na he will combine all of the characters in one sculpture o baka dyesebel/darna lang. let’s see…hehehe!

baka life size Darna statue. like yung Batman sa house ni Dingdong. hehehe

i’m positive it’s a statue of MR depicting Marimar,Dyesebel,Proserfina and Darna!!!…life-size statue of course!!!…

I’m gonna go along with your guess, Elvie. But I’m sure this pahulaan gift is not going to be the only Christmas present of DD for MR; there might be another one which could probably be more pricey that they would rather just keep to themselves. Di ba, last year, DD gave MR a painting, but later on MR herself divulged that a P1-M diamond bracelet was Dong’s Christmas gift aside from the painting. Planadong-planado whenever Dong gives gift to his special someone, his otl.

Tingin ko isa itong ARTWORK of Marian as Marimar, Dyesebel & Proserfina kasi sabi ni Dong it represents everything Marian has worked hard for. Pero, hindi lang yun, meron pa coz sabi rin ni Dong, pag hindi natapos, may back-up siya. Naaks, iba talaga si Dong main love, todo-todo. Way to go Dong, kaya super in love din ang Yanyan sa iyo.

“Darna” alone doesn’t epitomize her success. So if it’s everything she has worked hard for, i don’t think that’s it alone. Plus, it will become an issue again for the simpletons since Angel recently sold her darna statue in shop and share. I think Dingdong doesn’t want another negative issue about Marian.

A mural, perhaps?
dongyanatic2 said on Wednesday, November 25, 2009, 22:11
Okay the PEP article said it’s a Darna chair…but from what i’ve read he already gave Marian a Darna chair which could be seen in a Startalk segment…i think it’s startalk.
So i don’t think DD will give her another chair…or maybe he’s using that para tumigil na ang mga reporters :D…and he said he has a second gift for Marian. <3
