Dingdong Dantes celebrated his 40th birthday on Sunday, August 2.

In an Instagram post, the actor revealed that he wanted to throw an “Oktober-fest themed, ‘90s rock, all-out party” for his birthday this year. However, that did not materialize because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Today I turn forty. It isn’t a day I imagined five months ago - definitely far from the supposed Oktoberfest-themed, 90’s rock, all-out party. That was the plan. But events may have not turned out the way I envisioned them to be, I’m still grateful because this day is a reminder of His blessings and my life’s greatest gifts. Today, I honor my mother who brought me into this world. I had to have my own children to make me realize the sacrifices that our mothers do for us. She literally put her life on the line for me. So whenever I get a birthday greeting, I also celebrate her strength, love and commitment in raising a kulit boy like me. Today, I also honor my wife who has been my rock and core. Building a family of my own and reaching milestones have been a blissful and contented journey because I have her as my partner in and for life. So whenever you greet me, I too laud her dedication, care and love for me and our children - who have brought so much meaning to our marriage and our lives. And of course, today, I honor our Creator, who has made all things possible and surmountable for me all throughout these years. So, I welcome and embrace your well-wishes so that I can continue glorifying Him. Muli, maraming salamat sa mga pagbati. Open a bottle of beer for me and distantly, I’ld like to thank you for being part of my ongoing life’s journey. Prost! 🍻 #AgostoDos
