DENNIS TRILLO is the face of Beautéderm Belle Dolls ZERO FILTER Light Sunscreen

Hotter than summer and the heat of the sun, we were so lucky to have found DENNIS TRILLO. The good looking prime actor from GMA was just declared as the face of Beautéderm Corporation's Belle Dolls ZERO FILTER Light Sunscreen. It's the newest summer must have from the same folks that brought you the Belle Dolls drinks and Beautéderm products that have been the go to for a lot of folks from Philippine showbiz. 

This endorsement was just apt for the man as his wife Jennylyn Mercado was also endorsing for the same brand about 10 months ago. He's got great skin, a really refreshing demeanor, and a body that women would adore bar none.

Beautéderm CEO Ms. Rei Tan says "It's always a pleasure sharing milestones with you all. 5 months ago, we launched this product and believe we have already reached a market. We are always truthful about what we sell. Consumers are the ones who move numbers, and we made genuine connections. Becoming the best means hard work, desire, please welcome our Best Actor, Dennis Trillo! He is the face of Belle Dolls Zero Filter Sunscreen. We do not follow trends, we aim to be the best."

Ms. Rei adds "We need men as endorsers, often seen using multiple functions in one formula, sunscreen is something that we use to lessen ageing. I want A listers to be part of our brands, and I see they've been using our other products already even before getting them as endorsers. I also want families to be part of it. He's very kind, we have kids in college, he might be very shy at times, but he's a very good man. I love how they are very considerate, they are also easy to talk to, even their manager. I already know them more personally, so it's very easy to work with them."

Dennis told us a few things of how they handle grooming and activities at home "Applying sunscreen is essential these days. This is the same for work. Being together for years, we have made really good teamwork at home. Jen's ability to do tough love is something I admire about her. She's more of a disciplinarian, I spoil my kids often. It's good that we have products that help either maintain my skin, or protect us from the harmful rays of the sun. That Best Actor title does come with pressure, but I don't think about it too much."

You need to re-apply sunscreen every 2 hours. This is very light, doesn't have that ghost look when you put it on. There's also a spray bottle if you want to do it fast and consistent. They said the product is being sold out in branches nationwide and only borrowed from other branches to showcase them today. If it's too sunny and hot outside, please make sure you get yourself protected. Those wrinkles didn't come overnight but sun damage can really do harm on your face and other parts of your body. 

 Dennis also uses Cristaux products aside from this Belle Dolls Zero Filter Sunscreen. If it works for him, it's  going to be easy to see you use it too.  It's available in various Beautederm kiosks and branches nationwide. Go get one for the beach trips you plan to do today. It's also available online on shops, just search for it. You don't need filter to do wonders on those selfies, make sure you invest in good skin.

 

DenJen Movie "Everything About My Wife" Touches on 7 Year Itch, Marriage and Deceit

I've seen the Korean film which this was based from (All About My Wife, 2012), but felt even if this may have been based on that... this Filipino romcom movie carries its own weight. This adaptation Everything About My Wife by Director Real Florido takes on a whole Filipino premise, and talks about that 7 year itch that a lot of married couples go through. Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado play a couple named Dominic Brizuela and Imogen Karuhatan (Dom and Imo). Also in the film is real life cassanova Sam Milby who did absolutely amazing in this story of love, getting tired of it, relationships, and trust.

For starters, it's not a full on romcom because much of the scenes felt like a drama, something that both Dennis and Jennylyn would know like the back of their hand. It's a slow burn, but the elements are there, something that you would probably enjoy because those fun DenJen moments you see on social media will have a LOT of it in this film. It's their personal touch, which I'm sure you'll all adore when you get to see this in the silver screen. 

Also in the film are the fun characters of Carmi Martin and Ms. Nova Villa. There's small pockets of situational comedy which you'll enjoy in Everything About My Wife. You'll get most of it with Dennis Trillo's character, and you'll never see sunflowers the same because of it. Joyang is also fun to see, she's got that spunk even if she's a newbie in PH cinema.

 Much of the first half of it will involve them establishing the issues they are encountering, like being tired of the partners, and how they approached it with another problem, like seduction and connivance. It may feel slow, but bear with it. It's going to get better, funnier and more interesting in the second half. I'd give this 8.5/10 cows 🐮ྀི🐮ྀི🐮ྀི🐮ྀི🐮ྀི🐮ྀི🐮ྀི🐮ྀི

This is already showing on theaters, so if you're planning to have a fun day with your family and friends, who are fans of Dennis, Jennylyn and Sam, you should definitely watch this. This is produced by GMA Films and CreaZion Studios.

JENNYLYN MERCADO, DENNIS TRILLO, SAM MILBY for Romantic Comedy EVERYTHING ABOUT MY WIFE

Finally had the chance to talk to the cast of EVERYTHING ABOUT MY WIFE yesterday at their mediacon. For starters, Jennylyn Mercado has been heavily missed, and she's working with her hubby Dennis Trillo in this movie. They're also doing this with Sam Milby, a proper character for the man who looks like a true blue Cassanova, so when they showed this a couple months back, I was so excited for it.

The event was also graced by co-stars Ms. Carmi Martin, Alex Agustin, Polo Laurel, Joyang of TikTok fame, Chico Alicaya and Karlo Aranza. 

 The plot is simple, Jen and Dennis' characters are married, they get bored and irate over the continuous yapping, felt about to give up, then Sam's character comes along. With a sculptured physique, smooth talk, will they give up their marriage or stay? Imagine the situations left for imagination, the journey must have been filled with hurt, funny clap backs, thirst traps and romantic talk.

Director Real Florido says "There is a need for romcom films. I've been doing indie movies, started it about 10 years ago. I've done 2 Cinemalaya entries, but I feel it's not Indie vs Commercial films anymore. The lines are blurred. You make it now because you are a filmmaker. Romcoms have the same importance as with other genres. We tell stories that inspire and sometimes pull heartstrings. It's one of the reasons we do films like these, because they want to see it and the public demands it. Filipinos are suckers for love, we want that fleeting feeling, we want to laugh and cry with the characters we see on screen. We do that with friends, we talk about our relationships, open up about it, and we relate to them too. It's always a part of conversations, and makes us feel alive."

Dennis told us "It's fun to make films like these because it's relatable, to do characters that are universal. For artists like us, we do these like ourselves, we are husband and wife in real life. Some of the scenes here are things we also do."

Jen added "Like what Dennis said, it's familiar territory. We enjoyed it though, and working with my husband is such a joy. It's feels so good to do scenes, and I'm sure when people see it, they will relate to our characters."

Sam says "It's hard, a challenge for me to do this character. They say I shine when I'm evil, but Miguel is a Cassanova, a womanizer. Direk was there to help me out. I'm a shy introvert, so this one is overly confident, and I try to be out of my comfort zone to do this."

 Here's the whole mediacon on video, please sub, and enjoy!

The producer CreaZion Studios was represented by their CEO RJ Agustin. For those who want to see it, the film will be shown on February 26th. The premiere night will be on the 25th at SM Megamall if I'm not mistaken so if you want to see the stars, you should go there! This is produced by CreaZion Studios and GMA Pictures. Jen and Dennis was thought to have produced this too but no, because this came before Green Bones and their production outfit was launched last year.

Go watch it in cinemas! See you there!

Green Bones Tops MMFF 2024 Awardees: Now Shows in Over 180 Cinemas

Green Bones unfurled a few surprise wins in the recent Metro Manila Film Festival 2024 Gabi ng Parangal (Awards Night) which happened last December 27th hosted by the folks from the Metro Manila Development Authority. They won the festival's coveted BEST PICTURE Award amongst 10 entries including the Best Actor award for Dennis Trillo, Best Supporting Actor for Ruru Madrid, Best Child Performer for Sienna Stevens, Best Screenplay for National Artist Ricky Lee and Angeli Atienza, Best Cinematography by Neil Daza and the nod of critics. The night's award ceremony was witnessed by GMA Network's Senior Vice President and GMA Films President Ms. Anette Gozon-Valdes. She describes the win as a great show of their efforts, risks, to ultimately tell the story in hopes of people loving the story, in its wonderful and outstanding depiction. 

This is the vision of GMA Picture's Executive Vice President Nessa Valdellon. They wanted to make sure that the movie would become a vessel to showcase the amount of talent their artists have, and no doubt Dennis Trillo, Ruru Madrid gave their all.  Critics likewise saw how production took risks, and lauded how Director Zig Dulay made sure it be at par or even better than last year's successful entry "Firefly" which got rave reviews and top awards  too. Dennis' portrayal of Dom Zamora had complexity, Ruru on the other hand did Xavier Gonzaga - who's a very colorful character, who wouldn't want to fall or have a change of heart with criminals like Dom in the film. MMFF also took notice of Sienna Stevens, got her the Best Child Performer trophy, and nominations for talented actors Royce Cabrera and our guy Mikoy Morales who had their moments in the film. If you haven't watched it yet, just be warned I've seen fully grown men who had a bout of crying in the cinema, a handy work of Ricky Lee and his excellent screenwriting no doubt. Go watch this touching, but now, well decorated film that's been lauded by movie goers during the festival. You'll be surprised how emotional it will get in the end, and see why Green Bones took accolades this year.

Potential Runaway Winner "GREEN BONES" is GMA's Entry for MMFF 2024

While I was not able to watch the screening or participate in Green Bones press conference a couple days ago, I'm quite sure they're bringing their guns out for GMA's entry to the Metro Manila Film Festival 2024. Why? The cast includes Dennis Trillo and Ruru Madrid, not to mention an ensemble cast of award winning actors like Alessandra de Rossi, Michael de Mesa, Iza Calzado, Nonie Buencamino plus the same people who worked on hit film "Firefly" that won Best Picture and Best Screenplay last year. Top caliber actors like them would just have this for a snack because no doubt, Dennis Trillo will surely perform above and beyond expectations. He plays the role of Domingo Zamora, a man who got jailed because of the murder of his own sister. Ruru on the other hand will be depicting Xavier Gonzaga who's a committed prison guard who ultimately wants Zamora to remain locked up, no matter what it takes. 

While the story would have begged for action sequences, it delves more into drama surrounding the myth behind green bones, where their remains become the measure of their goodness/virtue. Ruru's character won't be believing Zamora's change, because he's got history with matters of senseless crimes, as his own sister was a victim of it. 

This will be quite interesting to see because from the looks of those who have watched it in advanced screenings, people were trying their best not to cry, but failed miserably. This is the handy work of the same "Firefly" director Zig Dulay who's undoubtedly done remarkable pieces on TV with the likes of "Maria Clara at Ibarra" and "Sahaya" amongst his stellar work that won awards in different festivals here and abroad. Not to mention the work poured in by GMA Public Affairs' JC Rubio, legendary writer and National Artist Ricky Lee and last year's Best Screenplay victor Anj Atienza. They are also with some of my favorite actors Mikoy Morales, Royce Cabrera, Kylie Padilla, Victor Neri, Ruby Ruiz, Sofia Pablo, Sienna Stevens and Enzo Osorio plus more on their ensemble cast. I wouldn't be surprised why this was already tapped by Columbia Pictures which is the flagship distribution unit of Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group. They'll be handling international release for it which just tells how qualified this Filipino film is in winning even more categories this year!

This is in celebration of the 50th year Anniversary of the MMFF, congratulations GMA and to all the artists! You've got something special coming out this Christmas and the whole family can watch it as it is rated G!

JENNYLYN MERCADO is the face of Beautéderm's CRISTAUX Threemendous Trio Serum Line

When you hear the name Jennylyn Mercado, you think of an actress who's got everything you want in one. She's the iconic "bhe", who's very kind, very down to earth, a mother, and wife to Dennis Trillo. It's been a while since we've seen her, but nothing seems to have changed. She's still the same beautiful woman we've adored since she won Starstruck.

Today was a special day, so Beautéderm threw her a welcome party. This is the day that they have also announced that she is the brand ambassador for the new CRISTAUX Three-mendous Trio. A line of serums meant to take care of the ravages of time, and day to day care for unblemished skin. One is the Skin Energizing Vitamin C, ZERUM Hydra Beauty Skin Brightening Serum (with Zinc), and my personal favorite the RETINOL Skin Repair Serum.

Beautéderm CEO Ms. Rei Tan and Jennylyn have been talking quite a lot through messages, but have never actually met in person. In the photoshoot for this campaign, they were finally able to do that.

Jennylyn says "When I met her, she was very nice, very humble, inspiring and I was very happy that this pushed through. We had to go through hurdles because when initial talks happened, I was pregnant and just gave birth. There were so many times we wanted to do this, but now it happened. She really took good care of me, she's a different person, it's in her nature to ask if I'm comfortable or I'm okay. She also asked if I was full, if the team was full, I was so happy to learn that I was in the right place."

She adds "When I got the serums at home, I immediately wanted to use it because I don't endorse anything that I don't personally use. I had to put it in my existing skin care regimen. I have very sensitive skin, and in fairness, I ended up with glowing skin. I use the Vitamin C Serum with facial wash and moisturizer. I use the Hydra Serum at night, but just do the retinol as needed. I usually go outdoors and ride motorcycles. I am exposed to the elements, and the sun. I sometimes suffer sun spots and pigmentation, I use the retinol for it including the age spots. I'm not young anymore so I do have fine lines and this takes care of that."

Ms. Rei Anicoche-Tan remarks "If you're a Beautéderm baby, there's something in common about us.. there's a glow. Even with light makeup, you can see that in our endorsers. Jen will be the face of all of our facial products, but we are promoting this new line. You can see this being used by me, and our endorsers. We only get people who love and know about the products, and she's the perfect one to represent that. I'm very proud of our ambassadors, even the guys, we just don't get endorsers just because of face value because consumers are smart now. They know if they use the product and if they want to emulate, they've got Beautéderm behind them. They believe and buy because of that." 

Here's the rest of the event on video, please enjoy!

Beautéderm wants you to age less and glow more with the new THREE-mendous Trio. Now is the time to add serums in your existing skincare routine especially if you feel like you are aging a bit. Not when it's too late!

Congratulations Jen! Thank you Ms. Rei for always having us in your events... and of course, taking care of our skin! I love your BEAU and new CRISTAUX line, plus that lovely detangle Brush which I use on a daily basis! 

LEGAL WIVES Showcases Cultural Differences on GMA

They've been doing good these past few days and with good reason. This is drama, severely cultural and depicts a relationship that isn't much of a norm in conservative Philippines. One man, married to three women, this is a series called LEGAL WIVES. This stars Dennis Trillo, Ms. Alice Dixson, Andrea Torres and Bianca Umali.

We got to talk to the cast a few days ago including Dennis Trillo who plays Ismael Makadatu. In a nutshell, polygamy is something that's a bit of taboo in the country. It's much of a cultural difference really, of understanding how society and these ladies to accept that they can be loved by one man. Aside from that, they're showing a couple of things that are a bit controversial like the harmful "Rido" wherein one clan tries to eliminate the other because of their differences. It will be explained in this series a bit, but not in whole because this isn't a documentary or news item. This also stars Derrick Monasterio, Ashley Ortega, Al Tantay, Juan Rodrigo, Irma Adlawan, Maricar de Mesa, Tommy Abuel, Bernard Palanca, Ms. Cherie Gil, Abdul Raman, Mon Confiado, Shayne Sava, Kevin Santos, indie actor Kiko Matos, Jay Arcilla and Brent Valdez. This is directed by Zig Dulay who also did Bianca Umali's Sahaya in the past.

Watch the show, maybe you'll see how something so crazy like this makes sense.

The Mina Anud Celebrity Screening

We watched the movie Mina Anud the other day and was surprised how the story was totally different from the usual instagrammable scenic movie it looked like in the posters. It had a rich story. Dark comedy? Yeah, you can say that because it just meshes the realities of poverty, crimes, corruption, extortion, and just about the inane casualties of families, friends and themselves. You will get to see how capable Dennis Trillo is as a prime actor, not too shabby with the body exposures because that’s a given, but in this you’ll see how he struggles with shocking events with his wife, daughter, because they had to resort to some illegal activities just to get by.

Oh and the celebrity screening made it all special, I loved how their friends and family all supported the project.

Mina Anud is still screening on hundreds of theaters nationwide. You’ll love Dennis, the kid and Jerald Napoles in this movie. There, I said it.

Kim Chiu, Dennis Trillo and JC De Vera for One Great Love

I was expecting an installment of Shake, Rattle and Roll to come from film production Regal Entertainment Inc. but I guess they had different plans this 2018. One Great Love is their official entry for Metro Manila Film Festival this year and it stars Kim Chiu, Dennis Trillo and JC De Vera who will play star crossed lovers who wished for an ideal relationship, in a journey that would take them to various depths of love, friendship, breakups and moving on. This is under the direction of Eric Quizon so it is already interesting to see they dynamics of this new pairing.

Kim says “ I am Zyra, who only wanted to find love. There are different kinds and forms of love, but it’s the one that you won’t forget, even time wouldn’t be able to erase it. At first I didn’t want to promote this because of the love scenes, I don’t want to label it that way because it is a movie that doesn’t exist just because of the love scenes. You will see it because it is needed in the story, I was challenged, they took care of me and I was secured, remained to my core that it is just essential. This is rated PG and not R18, I won’t be scolded by my grandma. I was really nervous so I didn’t talk to them, it started with us back to back. Are we ready to fall in love again? That is the question!”

Dennis adds “ Ian is secretly in love with Zyra. It’s when you love less of yourself and more of them. It was fun and exciting to do this because I got to work with her even if we came from different channels. I was a little nervous during the first few days so I really talked to Direk Erik just to shake that off. I had to had help, and also helped Kim so we would be comfortable in both sides. Kim’s kiss is gentle. For those who are confused like we are in the movie, this is a nice place to start. If you get hurt you will get to realize a lot of things, that pain will always be there. You will remember the good and bad things.“

Marlo adds “I play Bryan, the one great love of Miles. Everyday you want to spend time with her, it’s the greatest feeling. This is the first time I am doing this role and we only talk when we are on the scene. They should look out for the sofa scene. She is literally light to work with.”

Miles says “I am the younger sister of Kim in the movie. I always ask myself about it, unless you feel it you wouldn’t consider it to be the greatest one. Actually One Great Love isn’t just because of that, it has deeper meaning. We all went through it at one point, you will relate with the characters and this will bring something for anybody.”

Eric Quizon says “When you say great love, it’s the truest one, the one you spend time the most. The script was by Gina Tagasa and it was just given to me, at first I was asked to change the title but I didn’t want to do it anymore because it was a great script. It was made and given to kim solely. She read this on the plane and agreed. Casting was a different process, the casting was thought about because this is out of Kim’s comfort zone and JC and Dennis had to sync because the managers wanted the opposite role for them but I wanted the other. Originally the kid sister was the sure one, it’s why they ended up giving advise. I did several jobs before this so it was easy because they have initiative. They talk in one corner and very professional, I heard Kim scream every now and then. Zyra went through waiting, hurting, the happiness, realization so you will go out crying and happy at the same time.”

The film also stars Marlo Mortel, Niña Dolino, Jenny Arteta, Clara Del Rosario, Fiona Yang, Mich Ligayu and Joric Pecson. They are also introducing Lauren Madelaine Cabugas and also including 80’s-90’s star Maila Gumila.

Go rush to theaters this December 25 as they are part or the Metro Manila Film Festival.

TOTGA Ends Exciting Show Today

Today marks the end of popular romcom show The One That Got Away on GMA primetime TV. Sad that it has all come to this, and as of yesterday the three men and three ladies seem to have not realized their dream of having a peaceful love life and relationship because now, they're all trapped in a forest - with no help or signal along the way because the plans of Renz Fernandez and vixen Solenn Heussaff are still in play. Tied up and gagged, will the ladies be able to find them later in the finale episode?

Don't get your hopes up because it's a bit difficult as they have split out and tried to find them in that forest, with no assurance that they'd be still alive or be eaten fresh by Renz Fernandez and Solenn's character. Lovi says "I will miss working with my co stars especially Dennis whom I find so good in the acting department, how he shifts, how he portrays the main guy, we felt it's all fresh and new!"

Max Collins adds "What I would miss most is the bond and friendships we formed while we did this series. Our fight scenes, we were like kids on the playground, I'll miss them all." While Rhian on the other hand says "I gave my all, my character here is so experimental and won't just fall on your lap everyday, I thank the creatives for making such fun personas in this show."

TOTGA also stars Ivan Dorschner, Migo Adecer,  Jason Abalos, Ms. Snooky Serna, Bembol Roco, Luz Valdez, Ervic Vijandre, Nar Cabico, Jason Francisco, Patricia Ismael, Kelley Day,  Euwenn Aleta and Sophie Albert. This was conceptualized for TV by Angeli Delgado, written by Renei Dimla under the GMA Entertainment Group of Madame Lilybeth G. Rasonable. This is directed by Mark Sicat Dela Cruz.

Watch the last episode later please! I would be too! :)
