MALAPIT sa puso ni Dina Bonnevie ang talk show.
“Doing a talk show is close to my heart because when I was doing a talk show I would answer all the questions of the viewers myself.
“I would answer their emails myself, I would read ‘yung poems na pinadadala nila, ‘yung suggestions nila.”
Ang show na tinutukoy ni Dina ay ang Ms. D! na umere sa GMA mula November 1996-February 1999.
“And hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero feeling ko marami akong natulungang tao.
“Kasi at that time there was a woman who was going to abort her baby but our topic for the day was abortion and then she wrote me na, ‘I was going to abort my baby but because I saw your episode I didn’t abort my baby and now I’m happy with my child.’
“Sabi ko, ‘Wow!’
“‘Di ba? Parang maraming tao na nakapag-reach out kami.
“So sabi ko this is a show, kasi nga na-inspire ako, sabi ko ‘yung buhay ng asawa ko marami siyang natulungang tao, marami siyang nagawa in his lifetime as a public servant.
“He did not sit there to make himself rich or what, talagang nagsilbi siya. So when my husband died it opened my eyes a lot.
“Parang ilang taon na ba ako? Sixty three ako, 65 ang asawa ko noong namatay. Kung ako kaya ang namatay ano bang masasabi ko kay God?
“Okay, ‘What have you accomplished in your life, Dina? ‘What have you done for the greater glory of My name? What have you done?’
“Parang sapat na ba na mayroon akong maisasagot? Well I raise kids and I raised them wonderfully, ganyan-ganyan, naging artista ako, nagpasaya ako ng mga tao but what have I really done to benefit other people?
“So parang inisip ko why not, tutal dream ko ito.”
May fresh episode ang House Of D tuwing Biyernes sa House of D official YouTube channel. Co-host at co-producer ni Dina sa House Of D ang mga anak niyang sina Oyo at Danica Sotto at mga in-law niyang sina Kristine Hermosa, misis ni Oyo, at Marc Pingris, mister ni Danica.
