Multi-awarded dramatic actor and recording artist Dennis Trillo remains a Kapuso after signing another exclusive contract with GMA Network, Inc.
The contract signing was held last week at the Executive Lounge of GMA Network Center and was attended by the top officers of the network including GMA Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Atty. Felipe L. Gozon, GMA President and Chief Operating Officer Gilberto R. Duavit Jr., GMA Films President Atty. Annette Gozon-Abrogar, GMA Entertainment TV’s Senior Vice President Lilybeth G. Rasonable, GMA First Vice President for Program Support Regie C. Bautista, GMA Vice President for Entertainment TV Marivin T. Arayata, GMA Vice President for Drama Productions Redgie Acuña-Magno, GMA Assistant Vice President for Alternative Productions Gigi Santiago-Lara, GMA Assistant Vice President for Corporate Communications Angela Javier-Cruz, GMA Assistant Vice President for Drama Cheryl Ching-Sy, Program Managers for ETV Charles Koo and Jocelyn Bautista-Pacleb and Dennis’ manager Popoy Caritativo.
Dennis is happy to renew his contract with GMA-7, which he considers his home for the past 11 years. “Sobrang proud ako na Kapuso pa rin ako. Excited na akong gumawa ng mga bagong shows. Excited na akong magtrabaho ulit. Wala na akong mahihiling pa. Dito sa GMA ako sobrang at home dahil kilala ko na ang mga tao dito mula sa pinakamaliit hanggang sa pinakamalaki. Dito ako sobrang kumportable. Kailanman hindi ko makakalimutan ’yung pagtitiwala na ibinigay nila sa akin. Secured ako sa GMA dahil alam ko na hindi nila ako pababayaan. Hindi ko nga napansin na 11 years na ako dito.”
Dennis started with GMA in 2003, where he was given a variety of TV projects, which showcased his versatility and range as an actor.
At present, Dennis not only dabbles in acting; he has also tried his hand in singing following the success of the album “TomDen” – with fellow Kapuso star Tom Rodriguez, which has now reached Gold record status with over 10,000 units sold in combined digital and CD sales.
