00:00Let's meet and get to know the man of the hour, best actor after MMFF or the Metro Manila Film Festival
00:15for his work on the Green Bones of GMA Pictures and GMA Public Affairs.
00:22It's none other than Dennis Trillo.
00:26We need someone to be there for us.
00:29Every character he plays
00:37on television
00:40or in movies
00:50really makes an impact.
00:52I'm Domingo Zamora.
00:56I'm not a good person anymore.
00:58And in his latest film, Green Bones,
01:05he gave life to the character of a PDL,
01:09Person Deprived of Liberty,
01:11or in other words, Bilanggo.
01:14His work is hidden to the core.
01:19In a night full of excitement,
01:22and right after the night of celebration
01:25of the 50th anniversary of the Metro Manila Film Festival,
01:29and the best actor, Dennis Trillo,
01:33Green Bones,
01:41he won the trophy again for Best Actor.
01:46Wow, I feel like my heart is about to explode.
01:49Thank you, Mabuhay Ang Pilipino!
01:52He is the man of the hour,
01:54the 50th MMFF Best Actor
01:57and Kapuso Drama King, Dennis Trillo.
02:02Dennis, thank you.
02:04This Friday, I was able to invite Dennis
02:06to his favorite restaurant in Marilaque,
02:09in Panay Rizal.
02:11Congratulations.
02:13I'm also happy because you won
02:15our film in Public Affairs
02:17and in GMA Pictures.
02:19Thank you very much.
02:21Is this it?
02:23Can I hold it?
02:25Yes, go ahead.
02:27Wow, it's heavy.
02:29It's really solid.
02:31But their trophy is beautiful.
02:33Did it sink in for you?
02:35Until now, it's still surreal.
02:37Every day, I can't stop reading the comments,
02:42and it feels good.
02:44This is not the first time
02:46that Dennis won an acting trophy
02:48at the MMFF.
02:50In 2004,
02:52when he won
02:54the Best Supporting Actor trophy
02:56in the war drama film,
02:58Aish Temas, 1941,
03:00Mahal Kita.
03:02In 2018,
03:04when he won
03:06his first MMFF Best Actor Award
03:08for the film,
03:10a great love with winning
03:12comes even greater
03:14and more expectations.
03:16How are you handling that now?
03:20It's not just about pressure.
03:22When you're given a great material,
03:24you just have to give your best.
03:26Every work, every opportunity,
03:28every chance that's given to you.
03:36Green Bones is a story
03:38about the belief
03:40in the green seeds
03:42of a person who stands up
03:44and symbolizes goodness
03:46from the concept of
03:48GMA Public Affairs Senior Program Manager,
03:50JC Rubio.
03:52He is an ally of his father.
03:54I have a friend who told me a story.
03:56He casually told me
03:58that his grandmother died
04:00and they were able to see nine green bones.
04:02My friend, she's always been a good mother
04:04to all of them.
04:06She told me that story,
04:08and she never left me.
04:10There's a humanity in our jails
04:12that shouts and tells stories
04:14because they're not always heard.
04:16It's easy to judge
04:18that you're in jail,
04:20you're a bad person.
04:22I think I became a real person
04:24to hear their voices this time.
04:26The Tree of Hope in Green Bones
04:28is based on the wish tree
04:30in General Tria's City Jail in Cavite,
04:32where the prisoners write
04:34their wishes.
04:36Of course, there are still people
04:38who think,
04:40why are you glorifying the lives of the prisoners?
04:42Maybe we're not glorifying them,
04:44but we're valuing
04:46their existence
04:48because even though
04:50they're confined in one place,
04:52they're just people who got married
04:54like us, who got released.
04:56But it's just a coincidence
04:58that they got caught
05:00and they're being sentenced.
05:02Let's not think like that
05:04because we're both people
05:06who got married.
05:08And I think each of us
05:10should always give a chance to change.
05:12After the Metro Manila Film Festival,
05:14Green Bones brought home
05:16the majority of the
05:18biggest awards.
05:20To all who believe in the power
05:22of Filipino films,
05:24thank you very much.
05:28The court finds
05:30Domingo Zamora guilty.
06:00The PDLs are really doing a good job.
06:02Maybe that's why they felt that the character is complete.
06:04Maybe it's a great internalization.
06:06The choreography of
06:08Direk Zic is good
06:10because he commanded a lot
06:12in that scene. If you'll notice in the movie,
06:14the dialogue is rare.
06:16That's why every hand gesture
06:18needs to be meaningful.
06:20Every look needs to have a story
06:22in the look of what you want
06:24to achieve in that scene.
06:26There's a popular challenge
06:28in the style of art.
06:30Just use your eyes.
06:32Let's teach
06:34to Dennis.
06:36The first emotion is happy.
06:38You need to see that
06:40you have big eyes.
06:42You can see in your eyes that you're smiling.
06:44When I'm happy,
06:46my eyes get smaller.
06:48Me too.
06:50Dennis and I have Chinese blood.
06:52Happy.
06:54Dennis is sad.
06:56How do you deal with it?
06:58You have to deal with
07:00sadness in life.
07:02You don't have sadness in life.
07:04How do you deal with it?
07:06I'm just an auntie.
07:08I'm just an auntie.
07:10I have to deal with sadness.
07:12I have to deal with all the
07:14frustrations in life.
07:16Next.
07:18Dennis is excited.
07:20How do you deal with it?
07:22My wife.
07:24Safe answer.
07:26What should I do?
07:28I feel shy.
07:30I can't look at her directly.
07:32Ah.
07:34When I saw you for the first time
07:36in the studio, I fell in love with you.
07:38Then, I felt shy.
07:44I made him feel shy.
07:46You have to look down.
07:48He's scared.
07:50When I get scared,
07:52I get goosebumps.
07:54Wow.
07:56He's a master of emotions.
07:58I'll try.
08:00How do you deal with it?
08:02I feel shocked.
08:04My eyes get bigger.
08:08There you go.
08:10I don't have anything else to say.
08:12You have to look down.
08:14You have to look down.
08:16Yay!
08:18Dennis Trillo
08:20Abelardo Dennis Florencio
08:22in real life.
08:24Abelardo's eldest son.
08:26A Filipino-Chinese
08:28from Dumaguete,
08:30in Negros Oriental.
08:32And Florita Florencio,
08:34a Filipino.
08:36He finished college
08:38in Bachelor of Arts
08:40in International Studies.
08:42Dennis worked in a telecom company.
08:44Wait a minute.
08:46You know how women are.
08:48He even thought of
08:50auditioning for a talent search.
08:52I want to do
08:54one thing.
08:56One thing that will make me happy.
08:58Until
09:00his showbiz career
09:02continued.
09:08I didn't expect to be here
09:10in this industry because
09:12I'm really shy.
09:14When did you discover that
09:16you like acting
09:18and you're good at it?
09:20I felt that when I won my first acting award.
09:22I said,
09:24I have a future here.
09:26I'll take it seriously.
09:28Are you comfortable with the
09:30drama kings?
09:32To be honest, I feel pressured
09:34to have drama kings.
09:36I don't feel comfortable
09:38because if they say I'm a drama king,
09:40I can't do it.
09:42I prefer not having a title.
09:44It's better.
09:46If they say I'm Dennis Trillo,
09:48they already know.
09:50No titles needed.
09:52It's hard to be a king.
09:54It's limited.
10:00Didn't you have a hard time?
10:02As an actor,
10:04you're always conscious of your looks,
10:06your projections.
10:08You'll put yourself
10:10in a role where you'll
10:12totally forget yourself.
10:14They need to see the character
10:16built by the actor,
10:18not the actor.
10:20Don't be afraid to look bad
10:22or look ugly.
10:24That's the secret.
10:26I want my scenes
10:28to be ugly
10:30and deglamorized.
10:32It's hard for me to look good.
10:34For me, it's an effort to look good.
10:36What's your role, Dennis?
10:38We want to make a story
10:40about a serial killer.
10:42You have a lot of roles.
10:44You like inmates,
10:46dirty, and now a serial killer.
10:48Yes, that's what I like.
10:50That's what I like to watch.
10:52It's offbeat.
10:54If I didn't hide my agenda,
10:56if I didn't refuse
10:58all your offers,
11:00we wouldn't be apart.
11:02I have a Dennis Trillo story.
11:04I watched Mulawin
11:06and My Husband's Lover.
11:08There was a shoot
11:10at the GMA Studios.
11:12Of course, I approached you.
11:14I said, Dennis Trillo.
11:16But when I approached you,
11:18I said, he's shy.
11:20You're not the typical
11:22girly actor.
11:24I don't know
11:26how to start a conversation.
11:28I have low self-confidence.
11:30I don't know why.
11:32I don't believe in myself.
11:34You're a great actor.
11:36You're handsome.
11:38Why do you lack confidence?
11:40If Dennis Trillo lacks confidence,
11:42what should we do?
11:44Maybe I avoid
11:46being overconfident.
11:48I maintain a low self-confidence.
11:50You're grounded.
11:52Not many people know that.
11:54Maybe not all.
11:56Some people think that
11:58if you're an artist,
12:00you're handsome.
12:02But not all.
12:04Dennis admitted that
12:06he's shy in real life.
12:08He's an introvert.
12:10But on TikTok,
12:12Hello everyone and welcome to my TikTok.
12:14Dennis Trillo is different.
12:16He's the one who
12:18shows off.
12:20My head hurts.
12:22I need a forehead kiss.
12:26But we've seen you
12:28on TikTok.
12:30What is it?
12:32Your personality is different.
12:34Social media is an important
12:36part of our job.
12:38I was forced to create
12:40a TikTok.
12:42But that's not my personality.
12:44Until last year,
12:46I decided to give it a try.
12:48I heard that
12:50TikTok is popular
12:52among young people.
12:54A lot of people enjoy it.
12:56He doesn't have a TikTok challenge
12:58that he's behind.
13:02Acting.
13:06Singing.
13:08And dancing.
13:26What did you say?
13:28Why can't I show this side of me?
13:30His wife often
13:32appears in his
13:34TikTok videos.
13:36Ultimate star, Jeneline Mercado.
13:38I haven't washed Dylan's bottles yet.
13:48I'm thankful for TikTok.
13:50I feel like because of TikTok,
13:52we became close.
13:54I was like,
13:56our relationship became stronger
13:58because of TikTok.
14:00How are you and Jeneline?
14:02She's my number one supporter.
14:04My wife,
14:06Ms. Jeneline Mercado.
14:08She does a lot of things.
14:10Before I left home,
14:12she prepared my stuff.
14:14When I went to the taping,
14:16I couldn't say anything.
14:18Good morning, my love.
14:20Kiss me.
14:22In his busy schedule,
14:24Dennis assures that he has
14:26family time.
14:28Especially, his son,
14:30Dylan Jade, is growing up.
14:32I try to be as much
14:34as possible hands-on.
14:36I manage my time.
14:38I just want to maximize
14:40and increase the quality of my time.
14:42Your eldest son is
14:44Calyx. How are you and Calyx?
14:46We're okay.
14:48It's his first Christmas without us.
14:50He had a Christmas in the U.S.
14:52We already have plans for him.
14:54You co-parent for Calyx.
14:56Yes.
14:58Jeneline also has an eldest son.
15:00Yes, Jazzo.
15:02We're always together.
15:04We don't have a job.
15:06We just want to be with our family.
15:08Hello, everybody!
15:10When they're not in the city,
15:12they're here at Tanay Zarizal
15:14where they have a rest house
15:16made from
15:18a container van.
15:20How's life here?
15:22We choose to come here
15:24when we don't have a job.
15:26Life in the province is different
15:28because of the wind.
15:30Yo! It's my first time
15:32to be on TikTok.
15:36I heard that you also
15:38do TikTok.
15:40Teach me.
15:42It's like this.
15:44One, two, bam!
15:46I'll do it slowly.
15:48Then, like this.
15:50Then, bam,
15:52bam, bam, bam.
15:54There!
16:08Thank you!
16:10Meanwhile,
16:12aside from the trophy
16:14that was won by Dennis
16:16as the best actor,
16:18the cash prize is
16:20P100,000.
16:22You'll give your prize
16:24to your inmates?
16:26Yes. The story of Green Bones
16:28is for them.
16:30They'll give us a sound system
16:32that will help us
16:34in our daily activities.
16:36In Green Bones,
16:38there's a tree of hope
16:40where you'll write
16:42your life story.
16:44In real life,
16:46if you have a tree of hope,
16:48what will you write there?
16:50Maybe,
16:52the war will end.
16:54War in other countries,
16:56war with ourselves,
16:58war with family,
17:00war with anyone.
17:02If there's no conflict,
17:04it's more peaceful.
17:06This kid is deep.
17:08Because of the hard work of Dennis Trillo,
17:10the production staff,
17:12and the leaders of Green Bones,
17:14many are now
17:16believing in the importance
17:18of being good
17:20not only to yourself
17:22but especially
17:24to our fellowmen.
17:26It's a reminder
17:28not to forget to do good.
17:30Choose to be good.
17:32Thank you, Dennis.
17:34You deserve it. Congratulations.
17:36You've been my fan for a long time.
17:40Thank you for agreeing to make Green Bones for Public Affairs.
17:42Of course.
17:44Thank you! Long live the Filipino film industry!
