On August 8, Kapuso actor Dennis Trillo discussed his reunion project with Bea Alonzo.
At the media event for the endorsement deal ‘Hey Pretty’ at Cloud Studios in Quezon City, which LionhearTV covered, Trillo considered his upcoming project ‘Love Before Sunrise’ with Alonzo the perfect timing for their reunion.
“Masaya na after ng mahabang panahon nagkita kami ulit, kung kailangan kumbaga trained na kami. Kasi noon, halos sabay kami nag-simula eh, so ngayon, base doon sa mga experiences namin sa pelikula, mas maganda na ‘yung ano. Perfect timing na pagsamahin kaming dalawa kasi kumbaga, equipped na kami sa mga kailangan naming mga skills para maganda ‘yung isang eksena.”
He also appreciated the streaming platform Viu for co-producing their upcoming series with GMA Network.
“Well, parang, at last, after 20 plus years, nagkaroon ulit–naging magkatrabaho, binigyan kami ng proyekto. Di lang sa GMA, kung di in partnership with Viu, malaking bagay ‘yun, kasi all-out ‘yung Viu, nakita namin ‘yun sa Unbreak My Heart, sa ad pa lang nila, promos and all. And isa siya sa mga leading streaming platforms dito sa Pilipinas, tsaka dito sa Asia.”
He then recounted how he and Alonzo immediately became comfortable reconnecting as co-stars.
“Di naman nahirapan, kasi magkakilala naman na kami noon pa. Siguro mga first few tapings namin, siguro mga mga first three taping days kumportable na rin. Kumbaga naibalik na ‘yung camaraderie.”
He then pointed out that Alonzo hadn’t changed from the last project they worked on together.
“Kung ano ‘yung pagkakilala ko sa kaniya noon, ganon pa rin, parang hindi pa rin siya nagbago. Sumikat lang siya tapos yumaman. Ayun kaya masaya.”
Trillo and Alonzo previously worked together in the youth-oriented show ‘K2BU’ in 2002 on ABS-CBN.
As for his endorsement, Trillo would be promoting Hey Pretty Skin products such as Hey Pretty Skin Prestige Glow and Hey Pretty Skin Tinted Sunscreen.
Joining Trillo as the newest endorser of the company founded by CEO Anne Barretto is the social media influencer Zeinab Harake, who will promote the Hey Pretty Aesthetic Clinics.
