Kapuso Ultimate Star Jennylyn Mercado recently crossed the one million mark on her YouTube subscriber count, earning her a coveted plaque from the video-sharing platform.

YouTube rewards video creators for hitting subscriber breakthroughs: the “Silver Play Button” for 100,000 subscribers; the “Gold Play Button” for 1 million subscribers; and the “Diamond Play Button” for 10 million subscribers.

Flaunting her gold-plated award, the Rhodora X actress was joined by her husband Dennis Trillo in a 15-second unboxing video posted on her YouTube and Instagram yesterday, December 12.

The celebrity couple also dedicated the achievement to their fans and followers who have helped them bag the said recognition.

“Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng patuloy na nanonood at sumusubaybay po sa amin dito sa YouTube. Umabot na po tayo sa 1M subscribers at siyempre dahil po 'yan sa inyong walang sawang suporta. Handog po namin sa inyo ang Gold Play Button award kasama ang aming taos pusong pasasalamat,” they said.

Jennylyn recently launched her 'After All' series on the platform, archiving milestones in her relationship with Dennis from their engagement and marriage to their pregnancy journey.

As of writing, the actress has amassed over 1.1 million subscribers since starting her YouTube channel on May 15, 2019.

With her latest achievement, she joins the likes of Bea Alonzo, Heart Evangelista, Sanya Lopez, and Barbie Forteza, among others, as recipients of YouTube's Gold Play Button.
