Gozon gave a heartfelt thanks to Dingdong for choosing his mother network again. 

“Ako na mismo magpapasalamat na pumirma siya ulit, ni-renew ang kaniyang contract sa GMA. Sa tingin ko, ‘pag magaling ka ay lalo kang gagaling ‘pag sumama ka sa GMA. Ang exhibit one ay none other than Dingdong Dantes. Pero ito lang ang masasabi ko. Hindi pa niya nararating ang pinakatuktok ng kaniyang mararating. Hindi kamukha kong matanda na, pababa na, si Dingdong pataas pa. Kaya Dingdong, maraming-maraming salamat. And I hope GMA and you will go higher together!”
