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!

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! 

Descendants of the Sun Starts February 10

It was nice to see the actors that will portray the interesting characters of the hit Korean drama Descendants of the Sun. Some GMA Executives, Armed Forces of the Philippines, Philippine Navy and other sectors got a treat to finally see a very long video telling us a short bio of these interesting soldiers, medical personnel and their families. 

We were all surprised because after the intro, they had us watch the first episode of DOTSPH, where honestly, it was quite awesome. They probably spent a lot of time meticulously shooting and editing this, you must see it for yourself this January. 

Dingdong says "We have been waiting for this to happen and hope viewers would be able to appreciate it. We've made the story more pinoy. We're very proud of it!"

Jennylyn adds "Each scene is big, super hard to do but all worth it. We all kept ourselves in character, the director, peoole behind the scenes and actors did all their best to make this even better." Jen and Dingdong play Captain Lucas Manalo and Dr. Maxine Dela Cruz, a soldier and a doctor, who's lives intertwine, unceremoniously.

Big Boss and Beauty (of which they are fondly called) will also have Rocco Nacino and Jasmine Curtis on the helm to play Technical Seargent Diego Ramos and Captain Moira Defensor, who is also going to be an interesting love story. Jennylyn is in her element, the romcom treatment is a cool addition to the original story, I guess that will certainly be different with Pinoy humor. 

Descendants of the Sun The Philippine Adaptation will begin this February 10, 2020. The first episode is something to look forward to because it will include some back story of the different characters plus the effective little romance that Jennylyn and Dingdong could do. If we didn't know they're married we'd mistake them for a pair really.

GMA’s Starstruck on their 7th Season

Starstruck is back, and they’re promising an even more exciting search for the greatest male and female survivor. Dream, Believe, Survive still means what it means as they announced how they are choosing some of the of the hopefuls this 2019. It’s their 7th Season, scoured the whole country and got 80 during first screening. They screened again and got that in half, then into 22 (which they are currently filming), and now face the judges Heart Evangelista, Ms. Cherie Gil and Jose Manalo. There will be only 14 survivors battling it out later on, they hope to get one male and female to be declared as their ultimate survivor.

Kyline Alcantara will serve as online host. So you can see her 6pm on social media channels and she’ll get to update you on what happens during, before and after the show. She was so pretty earlier armed with light makeup, nude lips and nude gown.

Dingdong Dantes says “First up, we will remove someone on the first episode. First gap, you will hear that familiar heartbeat. One of the major differences is social media, the hopefuls have no involvement with their journey back then but now they have direct access to them. Jenny now has tons of projects, she is committed to her craft. Whatever background they have, it doesn’t matter but you have to know their personality, on how they cope with the challenges. If they dance or sing, their story will reflect when they are on stage and you will see their authentic.”

Heart Evangelista says “It is such a big name ever since I watched the show. It is my first time to judge ,but it is an experience. They all have some characteristics to relate to, it takes time to know them but I can relate to their stories. It takes time to see their authenticity and star quality, it has to be how they carry themselves and I’d like to invest in their sense of being, it is my idea of star quality. I think it is important to also have talent, beauty can come later. ”

Ms. Cherie Gil says “I didn’t know Jennylyn came from this show but I was more part of Protege. Now with the final 14, we have them, each looking out for their dream and we have to be careful choosing them. I can tell there are some strong possibilities, but there are people who bloom, I hope it happens because they will have their moments. There will always be a second copycat. Millennials know when you are bsing them, so the word authenticity is great. My personal opinion is someone who has personality and talent, my expectations are high because I was looking for triple threats, if it goes with looks, then he’s the lucky one.”

Jose says “This is not easy because you have to decide once you see them, right then and there. The looks, they have that, but I am looking for someone who can do everything when he stands there, to find someone genuine but you want to look for how they develop into the person they are. You can see it when they stand in front of you.”

Starstruck will be aired Saturday June 15 and will be every weekend, make sure you support your favorites!

Jennylyn Mercado and Derek Ramsay for ALL OF YOU

I miss her a lot, you must miss Derek too. Well, for those who miss them both on screen... this would definitely be a treat! The lovely Jennylyn Mercado and Derek Ramsay will star in this Quantum Films and MJM Productions entry for the Metro Manila Film Festival 2017 called ALL OF YOU which will show on December 25 this year. As you may know, they've already proven their work with the hit movie ENGLISH ONLY PLEASE last 2014 made by the same director Dan Villegas. This time, they're leveling up and remarks that you'll see an even more daring and sizzling pair up between the two stars and a fun quirky ensemble cast to boot.

Direk Dan Villegas says "The main difference is the level of maturity, this is very real and not much aspirational. It's down to earth and very far from EOP. We have a lot of sensual scenes here, we tried to capture that. The poster depicts just that, if you have gotten the last piece and it fits then you've given all of you. You only give that in work, in family and only if you are sure you he/she's the right one. It's difficult to describe why the are good actors because sometimes you just see them on screen, even when I'm editing and they become real. They might have started skeptic in a way but they ended up in a relationship. We shot this in Taiwan, it's magical there. You'll see that in the film."

Jennylyn Mercado adds "Here, she's more matured, more natural in a sense that they delve into real happenings in relationships. I haven't really used a dating app but I see my friends do it and they have fun, I see them experience and enjoy it. I guess in a way it's more sensual. The first day was already a love scene and it kinda shocked us, it was awkward at first but it all got good reviews. We got an R13 rating so I'm sure there will be more people who can watch it. I'm not in the position of Via but I think in my situation, I do it for my family. We should never enter a relationship when we are not sure, because in the end we will not justbe hurting ourselves, but other people too. Derek is quite good in drama, even back then he's really good and I pull emotions from him sometimes. He helps me and it's like team work. Sometimes, direk shows me how it's done and it's like very personal for him. So anybody can relate. Both characters also get perspectives from their characters, we support different facets. Trust, love, you give your all if you are committed. Here you promise something, whether it's in a relationship, work, it might be easy to say that as a word but to do it is going to be difficult. Make sure you are ready, in yourself. If you're good, then you're okay."

Derek Ramsay adds "We want to project something real so here, you'll be loving the sweet moments, the marriage as it feels like a slice of life. I haven't used one but even in the set I see a lot of people do it through an app. We kinda get how they react and do it with our characters. My friends in frisbee do it a lot even if we are out of the country. For me I have been able to give all of myself but it hasn't been reciprocated. For me I won't get into a relationship without that in my mind. If I allow myself to be committed I already give everything in the beginning. Most of the things depicted here are mostly things that have happened in his life, that was cool and a new experience for me. She's a very versatile actress (Jen), proven, jologs and serious at the same time. People do appreciate that. Commitment is very important, you show that when you are in the situation."

The cast includes Solenn Heussaff, Rafael Roselle, Sam Milby, Yayo Aguila, Hannah Ledesma, Nico Antonio, Kean Cipriano, Enzo Marcos, Via Antonio, Kelvin Yu, Kate Alejandrino and Milo Elmodo. Thank you to Philippine Airlines, Tanduay and Tough Mama for sponsoring the prizes earlier at the blogcon. 

I guess at my age I can't really give my all, we all do this so we could protect ourselves. If you want to feel kilig and laugh about the little mishaps in relationships, this movie is for you. Everybody is entitled to love, but would you gamble to give ALL OF YOU to get there? How far would you go? Remember to watch their story unfold on December 25, I'm watching!

Jennylyn Mercado, Gil Cuerva for My Love from the Star

We got to see them all in the red carpet press conference last week and here they are in photos! I'm one of the few, no a LOT in fact who's looking forward to see this show finally air it's pilot episode today on GMA's Primetime slot. The lovely Jennylyn Mercado together with the newest face in GMA's stable Gil Cuerva will let you fall in love again with the story of My Love From The Star, a Korean telenovela that is finally doing a Filipino version of it this 2017.

This has been in an amazing and surreal experience for the both of them because they know this show has a LOT of following. Aside from that, they will be directed by Bb. Joyce Bernal of which you are assured of quality. Mind you Gil Cuerva left his job as a professional model in Hong Kong, Thailand and the rest of Southeast Asia just to audition, he made the right choice. 

Maricris Garcia provided the music this evening, she performed at the huge Studio 7 at GMA's Annex Building. It was nice to see them all suited up for the occasion. Her version was like three Octaves higher than the voice of James Wright (who did it initially) but both are good, they are great singers of course.

Everyone followed the routines to a T, and even showed how fun of a bunch they are even before the show. The red carpet walks and introductions were sometimes hilarious :)

This is Migo Adecer's biggest break. He'll play Jennylyn's brother in the show who somehow seems detached, but always ends up caring for her like what a real brother would do.

Raf Fernandez looks so good scruffy and all. Christian Bautista still exudes romantic balladeer ready to pounce on Jennylyn's character, whilst Glydel Mercado is a vixen Mom and very funny here.

Gabbi Eigenmann will be doing a role of a man who you will hate pretty soon. He's so good in these dark roles, I have lauded him so much since the Dading days and this is going to be a lot challenging still. Watch out how he gets the story complicated starting from the first episode.

Jackie Rice was a vamp during this evening. I like how she kept it sleek, so gorgeous in every angle. She will be envious of the career of Steffy, and you know what happens right?

Your Matteo Do will be Matteo Dominguez. Stay tuned on how he uncovers his mysterious persona on the show. No matter how much you think he's a noob, I'm sure you will end up liking him.

Jennylyn wIll be loved by you and me, it's like she's going to play a girl who dreams of that perfect relationship, of no matter how hard life may be she will still have her man, her funny persona doesn't stray too far from real life and she's very likeable.

Make sure you watch the show later on GMA's primetime slot.

She cried a lot during this presscon because as soon as the one on one questions started, she was asked about her Mom. Evidently she misses her so much, I mean who wouldn't right? 

I hope you guys support Jennylyn and Gil. I will watch the show from start to finish as I see how hungry they were to tell us how they worked hard on this show. They have been taping since last year and none of these were rushed. You'll feel that on the start of the show, I'll be posting Gil's interview in a bit... stay tuned! Haha :)
