Showbiz power couple Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo are using their star power and influence to further educate people about individuals in the autism spectrum.

DenJen organized a fun activity for those who are diagnosed with autism, and making the event a lot more special is the participation of Jennylyn's son Alex Jazz.

Jennylyn told 24 Oras Weekend what they are aiming for, saying, “Masaya kami na mabigyang saya 'yung mga taong nandito, makatulong sa kanila. Mabigyan ng awareness 'yung mga tao siyempre, hindi pa talaga familiar sa kanila 'yung autism.”

Dennis then interjected, “Pinakamahalaga 'yung huwag kayong mawawalan ng pag-asa. Huwag kayong susuko, huwag kayong bibitiw dahil kailangan ng bawat isa 'yung mga suporta ng magulang.”

Now that the couple is finished with their high-rating GMA Prime series Sanggang-Dikit FR, the two are spending a lot more time with their kids.

The Ultimate Female Survivor shared, “Madalas kami dun sa Tanay, maraming family time. Mas maraming oras para sa mga bata. Masaya sila na nakikita nila kami tuwing gigising.”

Also supporting the DenJen event is The Secrets of Hotel 88 star Mika Salamanca, who also promoted her book titled 'Lipad.'

“Sabi ko nga dati, kahit anong age, kahit anong gender, kahit anong estado mo ng buhay o kahit sino ka, 'yung librong ito makakahanap ka ng resonation sa kanya talaga,” Mika explained to Chika Minute.
