"Golden best actor with a golden heart."

This is how talent manager Jan Enriquez described Green Bones actor Dennis Trillo after donating his cash prize for winning the Best Actor Award in the recently concluded 2024 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) "Gabi ng Parangal."

According to Enriquez's post, the PhP100,000 cash prize will be donated to persons deprived of liberty (PDL) through Green Bones creator JC Rubio.

He also mentioned that it was Dennis's wife, Jennlyn Mercado, who suggested donating the money to PDL.

Enriquez related, "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 JC Rubio."

Dennis Trillo's win is one of the six awards that Green Bones took home from the "MMFF 50 Gabi ng Parangal."

It also won Best Supporting Actor (Ruru Madrid), Best Screenplay (Ricky Lee and Angeli Atienza), Best Cinematography (Neil Daza), and Best Child Performer (Sienna Stevens).
