‘Siniguro ko muna talagang… ito na yung best version ko’
News of GMA 7 actors Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo’s engagement made news over the weekend, plus their other big reveal: they’re having a baby! But their vlog of the actual proposal plus behind the scenes is what brought us to tears.
Here’s what Dennis said to Jennylyn as he asked for her hand in marriage:
Narating din natin, step by step, dahan dahan. Ito yung mga araw sa buhay natin na magbabago na talaga. Papasok na tayo sa panibagong level, panibagong stage… Gusto ko lang mag thank you kasi pinili mo ako samahan sa journey na ito.

Iniisip mo siguro kung bakit ngayon lang nangyari. Hindi pa kasi ako ready noon. Pero siniguro ko muna na talagang… kapagka nangyari yun, ito na yung best version ko. Gusto ko mag thank you kasi tinulungan mo ako maging ganun. Akala ko dati okay na ako pero…
Salamat lang talaga at dumating ka ulit sa buhay ko. Hindi ko alam kung makakahanap pa ako ng pagmamahal na katulad ng binigay mo sakin, kasi talagang sagan eh at nararamdaman ko yun. Ikaw lang ang gusto kong makasama. Ikaw at yung bagong addition sa pamilya natin. Isa yun sa mga pangarap ko. Matutupad lang yung pangarap ko kung papayag kang pakasalan ako.

The video slows down at the exact moment Dennis asks Jennlyn, and the sliding doors behind them open to reveal a “Marry Me” sign with flower and balloon arrangement by Gideon Hermosa. Dennis gets down on one knee and an emotional Jennylyn soaks it all in before replying–after he places the ring on her finger–“Hindi pa ako sumasagot!” The couple laughs and Dennis asks again, to which she replies, “Oo naman!”
Dennis and Jennylyn were engaged on October 8, 2021 and they also share the news that Jennylyn is in her first trimester of pregnancy. The newly-engaged was set to sign papers for a surrogacy when she found out she was already pregnant. Jennylyn shares in an interview that it was during taping when she felt not quite like herself.

The two actors first started a romantic relationship in 2010 but ended the next year. And then rekindled their romance in 2014. We love what Dennis said in his proposal, “Iniisip mo siguro kung bakit ngayon lang nangyari. Hindi pa kasi ako ready noon. Pero siniguro ko muna na talagang… kapagka nangyari yun, ito na yung best version ko.”
Take notes on proposal ideas, gents!
Best wishes and congratulations, Dennis and Jennylyn!
