Makalipas ang mahigit limang buwan, muling nanindigan ang Kapuso actor na si Dennis Trillo na hindi talaga siya ang nasa likod ng viral comment tungkol sa ABS-CBN.
Noong July 1 2024, usap-usapan online ang reply ni Dennis sa isang netizen sa TikTok na nagtatanong tungkol sa asawa niyang si Jennylyn Mercado.
Dito, tinanong ng ilang netizens si Dennis kung bakit wala si Jennylyn sa inilabas na bagong station ID ng GMA-7.
Si Jennylyn ay kilalang homegrown talent at isa sa itinuturing na big stars ng Kapuso network kaya hindi maiwasang magtaka ang netizens kung bakit wala siya sa nasabing station ID.
Tanong ng isang netizen kay Dennis (published as is), “Kuya dennis sana masagot mo ito bakit wala si ma’am Jen sa GMA STATION ID at totoo ba na lilipat na siya sa ABC CBN”
Nakakaintrigang sagot umano ni Dennis: “May ABS pa ba?”
Dahil dito, marami sa netizens ang naghimutok sa tila raw pabalang na sagot ng aktor.
May ilan ding pinaratangan si Dennis na walang malasakit at konsiderasyon sa ginawang panggigipit ng gobyerno sa Kapamilya Network.
Noong July 10, 2020, pinatay ng Kongreso, sa ilalim ng administasyon ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte, ang franchise renewal application ng ABS-CBN.
Bunsod nito, tigil-operasyon ang lahat ng television at radio stations na nasasaklawan ng napasong prangkisa ng ABS-CBN.
Tinatayang halos kalahati ng 11,000 empleyado ng kumpanya ang nawalan ng trabaho na noong mga panahong iyon ay kasagsagan ng pandemya.
Bagama’t nagsalita na noon ang management team at mismong si Dennis para ipaalam sa publiko na na-hack ang kanyang TikTok, marami pa rin ang magpahanggang ngayon ay hindi naniniwala sa anila’y palusot ng aktor.
DENNIS TRILLO DETAILS WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE DAY HIS TIKTOK HACKED
Makalipas ang limang buwan matapos pag-usapan ang umano’y pagko-komento ng pabalang ni Dennis, muli itong naungkat nang makapanayam siya ni Bianca Gonzalez sa The B Side ng Cinema One noong December 18, 2024.
Actor Dennis Trillo has found himself at the center of a social media storm after a controversial comment attributed to him went viral on various online platforms. The comment, which asked, “May ABS pa ba?”—a question implying a financial struggle despite his status as a well-known actor—quickly sparked discussions and speculation about the true state of his finances. However, Trillo has since come forward to clarify that he had no part in making the comment and is taking steps to address the situation.
In a recent interview, Trillo expressed his frustration and disappointment over the incident. “I was completely taken aback when I saw the comment circulating on social media,” he said. “It’s not something I would ever say or post, and it’s been causing a lot of unnecessary speculation about my personal life and financial situation.” Trillo emphasized that he values his privacy and does not discuss his financial matters publicly. “My family and I work hard, and we are doing just fine. This kind of misinformation can be very damaging, and I want to set the record straight.”
The comment first appeared on a popular gossip forum and quickly spread across various social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Many netizens were quick to share their opinions, with some expressing concern for Trillo’s well-being and others using the opportunity to speculate about the financial struggles of celebrities. The rapid spread of the comment led to a surge in hashtags such as #DennisTrillo and #MayABSpaBa, which dominated trending topics for several days.
Trillo’s management team also issued a statement addressing the situation. “We are aware of the recent viral comment attributed to Mr. Trillo and can confirm that he did not make this statement,” the statement read. “We urge the public to be cautious of unverified information and to refrain from spreading rumors that can harm an individual’s reputation.” The statement further noted that legal action may be taken against those responsible for the false information. “We are currently investigating the source of the comment and will take all necessary steps to protect our client’s rights and interests.”
The incident has reignited discussions about the impact of social media on public figures and the responsibility of users to verify information before sharing it. Social media experts have weighed in, highlighting the dangers of misinformation and the importance of critical thinking in the digital age. “In today’s world, where information spreads rapidly, it’s crucial for individuals to fact-check before sharing content,” said Dr. Maria Santos, a media studies professor. “False information can have serious consequences, especially for those in the public eye who may face undue scrutiny and stress.”
Trillo’s fans have also rallied around him, offering support and calling for the end of the speculation. “We know Dennis works hard and doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment,” said a fan named Ana. “We’re here to support him and hope that the truth comes out soon.” Fan groups have organized online campaigns to counter the negative narrative and to promote positive content about Trillo’s career and achievements.
Despite the controversy, Trillo remains focused on his work and has continued to engage with his fans through his official social media channels. He recently posted a heartfelt message thanking his supporters for their love and understanding. “I am overwhelmed by the support I’ve received from everyone,” he wrote. “Your kindness means the world to me, and I promise to keep working hard and bringing you the best content I can. Let’s continue to spread positivity and respect each other’s privacy.”
The incident has also prompted a broader conversation about the role of celebrities in shaping public perception and the expectations placed on them by their fans and the media. Celebrities often find themselves under intense scrutiny, and their every move is closely watched and analyzed. “There’s a fine line between public interest and invasion of privacy,” said entertainment journalist Carlos Reyes. “While fans and the media have a right to be curious, it’s important to remember that celebrities are human beings with personal lives that should be respected.”
As the dust settles, Trillo and his team are working to ensure that the false information is corrected and that his reputation is protected. They have also encouraged the public to focus on the positive aspects of his career and the contributions he has made to the entertainment industry. “Dennis has always been known for his talent and dedication, and we hope that this incident will not overshadow his achievements,” said his spokesperson.
The broader implications of the incident extend beyond Trillo’s personal situation, raising questions about the ethics of online behavior and the need for responsible journalism. Media outlets and social media platforms have a responsibility to verify information before publishing it, and individuals must be more discerning in what they choose to share. “We all play a role in creating a healthy and respectful online environment,” said Dr. Santos. “By being more mindful of the content we consume and share, we can help reduce the spread of misinformation and protect the integrity of public discourse.”
In conclusion, while the viral comment attributed to Dennis Trillo has caused a significant stir, his swift response and the support of his fans have helped to mitigate the damage. As the investigation into the source of the comment continues, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of verifying information and respecting the privacy of public figures. Trillo’s resilience and professionalism in the face of adversity are a testament to his character and the strong bond he shares with his fans.
