No less than GMA7’s chairman, president and CEO Felipe L. Gozon announced last Sunday in SOP that Dingdong Dantes will be playing Cholo in the local remake of Stairway to Heaven. Korean actor Kwon Sang Woo played the original role in the drama which brough a lot of tears to its audiences.
Dingdong Dantes became more famous when he became Sergio in the remake of the popular Mexican telenovela Marimar co-starring with Marian Rivera who played the title role. Stairway to Heaven will be his next project after starring in three dramas with Marian Rivera.
Meanwhile, the role of Jodi played by Korea’s Queen of Tears Cho Ji Woo is still to be determined but Heart Evangelista (Luna Mystica) already expressed her interest to play the role.
