Award-winning film Green Bones continues to inspire Filipinos with its empowering narrative and even more, it has become a true channel of blessing.

The movie not only brought joy to netizens, including people deprived of liberty (PDLs), but also earned multiple recognitions from various prestigious award-giving bodies.

Among its celebrated achievements was the recognition of Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo. His powerful performance as Domingo Zamora continues to move audiences with its depth and authenticity, making him consistently honored as Best Actor.

From the 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) to the most recent 48th Gawad Urian Awards, Dennis marked a winning streak for the prestigious award.

In an exclusive interview with GMANetwork.com, Dennis admitted he was overwhelmed yet deeply grateful for the recognition his work has received.

"Nakaka-overwhelm syempre. Pero sobrang thankful na nangyari ang lahat 'to. Sulit lahat ang pinaghirapan ng lahat ng mga tao na na-involve sa paggawa ng pelikula kahit last year siya ginawa," he shared.

The Kapuso actor also expressed pride in how Green Bones reached international audiences, earning acclaim abroad.

"Napaka-fulfilling nun bilang artista na hindi lang dito sa Pilipinas na nare-recognize 'yung mga trabaho, talent. Napapansin din ng mga ibang lahi, nagugustuhan (at) nakaka-relate sila," he said.

"Nakakatuwa na 'yung mga pinaghirapan mo kumbaga malayo na 'yung mga nararating nila. Magandang proyekto 'yung mga ginawang nakatulong 'yun para ma-promote 'yung sa atin."

Dennis humbly shared that he never expected the film to bring him such success, crediting the entire Green Bones team for its impact.

"Sa totoo lang habang ginagawa ko siya, hindi ko alam at hindi naman din ako nag-e-expect na ibibigay ko 'tong award-winning performance na ito. Kumbaga nadala lang talaga ako sa kuwento niya, sa mga kuwento ng characters, sa takbo ng istorya, at doon sa mensahe na gustong iparating ng kuwento sa mga manonood.

"Siguro 'yung tamang timpla ng buong pelikula. Nagawa dahil sa tulong ng direktor namin na siya talaga 'yung choreographer ng bawat eksena at nagse-set ng mood."

Now recognized as one of the most inspiring actors in the industry, Dennis also shared a heartfelt reminder for aspiring and young artists.

"Bukod sa talent na pwede mo i-develop, mas mabuti na i-develop din 'yung pakikisama at 'yung work ethics, habits mo sa trabaho. Napaka-importante na hindi mo binibigyan ng problema 'yung mga katrabaho mo, mga kasama mo."
