Status: Shakin’
Music: The Boss - Chris Richardson

As part of my usual visita iglesia, I visited the Caleruega chapel in Nasugbu, Batangas. I thought it would just be another Good Friday but hell, it was better than any Good Friday in my life. Haha. What’s the reason? It’s not really what. It’s who. Dennis Trillo. Yep, Dennis Trillo was there in the same chapel as I was, saying his prayers with us. 

Dennis Trillo is one of the most important actors of his generation. Tez Cruz and Kriz Gazmen will surely agree with me. But if our claim is not enough, there are a number of awards to support this. Anyway, I’m not posting this entry just because I saw him last Holy Week. Nah. I’m a fan (but not as huge a fan as Kriz who believes that Dennis is the centre of the solar system). In fact, I’ve always told Andre that the most beautiful face in local showbiz industry today is Dennis’s. And Andre usually blocks that statement in our conversation by saying “Oh, but he’s short,” which is true.

I remember Dennis’s first significant role: Bea Alonzo’s love interest on the short-lived youth-oriented series K2BU. And then, as Luis Alandy’s bestfriend in a Claudine Barretto starrer teleserye “Sa Dulo ng Walang Hanggan.” The next thing I knew, he signed a contract under GMA7, although I didn’t like the idea, I thought it was a pretty wise move. The second guy in Mulawin. Angel Locsin’s leading man in Darna. One of Majika’s lead stars. The gorgeous Super Twins’s mentor. And not to mention his cross-dressing gay guy role in Aishite Imasu, which made the critics see that he’s not just a popular actor but a good one, grabbing awards one after another. And oh, he’s now a recording artist, too!

Dennis has come a long way from doing tiny roles to being one of the most popular male stars in showbiz. And with that intense sex appeal and good looks, matched with pure talent, he’s surely here to stay.
