OPM power couple and Cornerstone artists Dingdong Avanzado and Jessa Zaragoza just celebrated their 25th Wedding Anniversary with an unforgettable surprise surrounded by close friends and loved ones. Their renewal of wedding vows and anniversary celebration took place last March 18, 2026 at Enderun Colleges in Taguig City.

Pulling off Dingdong’s surprise for Jessa required the perfect combination of coordination and acting between Dingdong and Cornerstone’s staff. The plan started with a fake booking intended for the couple for a private corporate event for the launch of a jewelry brand. From the moment the booking inquiry came in up to the moment Jessa entered the venue to sing, everyone involved in the plan had to play their role well to avoid spoiling the surprise.

“And just like that, we are 25 years. And by the amazing grace of God, we are still going strong,” Dingdong said in the opening part of his vow. 

“Alam mo, nakilala ako dahil sa ‘Tatlong Beinte Singko’ diba? At dahil don, dumami na ang mga beinte singkong dumating sa buhay ko. Pero sa lahat ng beinte singko na aking natamasa, itong beinte singko na ito ang pinakamasaya at pinakamahalaga dahil kasama kitang nakamit ito,” Dingdong added.

“And it still amazes me to think that despite all that we have experienced, the challenges and intrigues of being a couple in showbiz, we still have managed to stay together. Diba? And I can honestly and proudly say that I am more in love with you today than when we first started,” Dingdong continued.

“Honey, nag abala ka pa. Alam mo naman ‘di ako mahilig sa magarbong mga party. Simple lang gusto ko basta kasama kita tsaka yung anak natin. Kahit nga Grab Food lang okay na eh,” said Jessa in her response. 

“Thank you for loving me, thank you for choosing me to be your wife,” Jessa added. 

Their daughter, singer-songwriter and actress, Jayda Avanzado, joined the momentous occasion. Also present are prominent public personalities such as Noel Cabangon, Randy Santiago, Marissa Sanchez, Nadia Montenegro, Vehnee Saturno, Nova Villa, and Dr. Steve Mark Gan of GAOC.
