Award-winning actor Dennis Trillo acknowledged that fatherhood has positively transformed him, expressing gratitude to his wife, actress Jennylyn Mercado, for being a devoted mother to their family.

In a recent interview on the YouTube show "Rei Talks," Dennis expressed his hopes for his relationship with Jennylyn. He discussed how he wants their relationship to endure, even when faced with life's challenges.
"Salamat sa lahat. Inspirasyon ka namin. Mahal na mahal ka namin at sana maging maayos ang lahat hanggang sa huli. (Thank you. You are our inspiration. We love you very much and hope everything goes well until the end)," said Dennis when asked about giving a message to Jennylyn.
Dennis shared his thoughts on the remarkable qualities he cherishes in Jennylyn.
"She's a hands-on person not only for her family but for the people around her. Hindi niya pinababayaan ang mga tao sa poder niya. Kapag kasama mo s'ya, ipaparamdam nya talaga sa'yo na secured ka sa lahat ng bagay. Yun ang gusto ko sa kanya. (She's a hands-on person not only for her family but for the people around her. She doesn't leave people in her power. When you're with her, she really makes you feel secure in everything. That's what I like about her)," the actor sa
Wish for family
Dennis, 43, wanted his family to stay united and together through all the stages of their lives.
"Sa tingin ko huwag lang maghiwalay ang pamilya at gusto ko magkasama kami hanggang sa dulo. Sa ngayon yun ang wish ko. Mga materyal na bagay at career kuntento na ako. Masaya na kami. Sana madala namin yung pagmamahalan namin hanggang sa huling hininga ng buhay namin. (I hope my family always stays together. This is my current wish. I find satisfaction in my material possessions and my career, and overall, we are happy. I wish for us to cherish our love until our last breath.)
"Ang importante is makuntento ka talaga kung ano ang meron ka. Hindi naman masama na maghangad pa tayo ng ibang bagay pero maganda rin yung makuntento ka. (The important thing is to be content with what you have. It's not bad to aspire to more, but it's also good to be content)," the actor said.
