Actor Dennis Trillo won the best actor award in the recently concluded Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) awarding ceremony for his the entry “Green Bones.”
Dennis received a trophy and PhP 100,000 cash prize.
Dennis and partner actress Jennylyn Mercado decided to donate the cash prize to persons deprived of liberty (PDL).
Aguila Entertainment general manager Jan Enriquez narrated how the entire thing came about. On Facebook, Jan posted the following:
“GOLDEN BEST ACTOR WITH A GOLDEN HEART.
In case you are wondering, right after Dennis accepted his award ay may lumapit sakin na staff para iclaim na daw ang napanalunan 100k courtesy of sponsor Playtime. So ako na nagclaim on Dennis’ behalf and inabot sa akin ito in cash (o di ba? Because why not)
Iaabot ko na dapat kay Jen, then sabi ni bessie, “bessie, i-donate na lang natin iyan sa mga PDL”
And agad agad ko itong inabot kay JC Rubio na siyang may konek sa grupo ng mga PDL kung saan hango o inspired ang Tree of Hope. Lingid sa kaalaman nyo na may totoong Tree of Hope sa isang facility and doon po gagamitin ang 100k.. para matupad ang mga munti nilang hiling. When i say munti as in simple talaga minsan hiling lng nila bagong tshirt, shorts, sapatos, diapers para sa baby nila sa labas etc
Ito rin po ang mga hiling na nagrant noong presscon at beneficiary dn ng cash prize ng team Green Bones sa Family Feud.
Thanks for your kindess Dennis! You truly embody our movie’s main message”
