Jennylyn Mercado surprises Dennis Trillo with birthday cake at ‘Sanggang Dikit’ photoshoot

Jennylyn Mercado surprised Dennis Trillo with a cake as part of the actor’s extended birthday celebration.

According to Lhar Santiago’s report in “24 Oras” Wednesday, Jennylyn gave the cake to her husband while they were doing a photoshoot for their upcoming GMA series, “Sanggang Dikit.”

“Medyo nagulat kasi akala ko hanggang kahapon lang lahat ng mga surprise para sa akin,” Dennis said.

Jennylyn’s simple wish for Dennis is for his good health.

“Para mas matagal pa namin siyang makasama at maging masaya at ano pa ba? Lahat nasa kaniya na,” she said.

Jennylyn is also turning a year older on Thursday.

“Check namin muna ‘yung schedule kung walang work, puwedeng kumain lang sa labas or sa bahay lang. Ganun lang,” she said.

Her wish for herself is equally simple: “Sapat na na magkakasama kami at healthy kami. Walang magkakasakit. Napaka-importante ng health lalo na sa pamilya para mas matagal pa kaming magsama-sama at siyempre makapagtrabaho. Kasi ‘pag hindi ka fit and healthy, ang hirap gumalaw, ‘di ba?"

Dennis’ wish for his wife is for the blessings to continue coming in.

“Dahil napakaganda nung pasok nitong taon na ‘to, sana magtuloy-tuloy pa ‘yung blessing para sa'yo at para sa pamilya natin. Siyempre 'yung health din. Medyo nagkaka-edad na kami at medyo napakademanding nung mga kailangan naming gawin dito sa show na ‘to. Gusto ko lang lagi siyang maging safe sa lahat ng mga eksena at mapangalagaan niya [nang] husto ‘yung pangangatawan niya,” he said.

The Kapuso power couple is currently deep in preparations for their highly anticipated TV comeback project, which includes various forms of training.

“Naku, bago po magsimula ‘yung taping, marami na kaming preparations na ginawa like ‘yung gun handling, ‘yung training sa mga tamang porma sa pagkilos bilang alagad ng batas,” Dennis said.

Jennylyn spoke about her initial fear of handling firearms, which she is now overcoming through training.

“Nung una, lalo na sa baril, kasi takot ako sa baril. Hindi ako sanay humawak ng baril at ‘yung tunog nung baril, ‘yun ‘yung pinaka ayoko. Pero ngayon parang medyo nasasanay na rin,” she said.

Jennylyn and Dennis tied the knot in November 2021 and welcomed their daughter Dylan in April 2022.
