Dennis Trillo has made it clear that he’s not letting the pressures of competition dampen his festive spirit at this year’s Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), following the best actor buzz he’s receiving for his performance in “Green Bones.”
After the recent special advanced screening of “Green Bones,” critics have listed Trillo as a candidate for this year’s MMFF Best Actor race. Despite this, the actor, at the press conference for the 2024 Parade of Stars, does not want to let that get into his head, as he’s not really vying for the award but to savor the experience.
