Ruru Madrid says 'Green Bones' changed him: 'Habang-buhay kong ipagpapasalamat'

Ruru Madrid expressed gratitude and pride anew after “Green Bones” premiered on Netflix this week.

The Kapuso Primetime Action Hero and “Lolong” star took to Instagram to announce the film's availability on the streaming platform, and said it's a film "na habang-buhay kong ipagpapasalamat—at ipagmamalaki ko kahit kanino.”

“This film didn’t just challenge me… it changed me,” he said.

Ruru said he hopes more people would watch “Green Bones” and learn lessons from it just like he did.

“Para sa sining. Para sa bansa. At para sa ating lahat na pinipili pa ring maging mabuti sa mundong ito,” Ruru said.

“Maraming salamat sa lahat ng sumusuporta—ngayon pa lang, ramdam ko na kayo,” he added.

Produced by GMA Pictures, "Green Bones" is directed by Zig Dulay based on an original story by JC Rubio, senior documentary manager of GMA Public Affairs. The story centers on Domingo Zamora (Dennis Trillo), who is notorious for the murder of his sister and her daughter. Now that Domingo is up for parole, the newly assigned prison guard (Ruru) takes a personal interest in making sure that he remains behind bars no matter what.

The film swept several awards at the MMFF 2024: Best Picture, Best Screenplay, (Ricky Lee and MMFF 2023 Best Screenplay winner Angeli Atienza), Best Actor (Dennis), Best Supporting Actor (Ruru), Best Cinematography (Neil Daza), and Best Child Performer (Sienna Stevens).
