Dennis Trillo faces backlash over TikTok comments;

Kapuso actor Dennis Trillo earned the ire of Kapamilya fans after they interpreted a response from his Tiktok account as a swipe at ABS-CBN. The incident started when a fan questioned Jennylyn Mercado's absence from GMA Network's new station ID and speculated that this absence could mean a network transfer. The netizen commented in his Tiktok account "Brother Dennis, I hope you can answer why ma'am Jen is not on GMA STATION ID and is it true that she is moving to ABC CBN?" Trillo respond to the netizen, "May ABS pa ba? (Is there still ABS?)" This response sparked backlash from ABS-CBN supporters, who found the comment insensitive.

One of the netizens also commented that Mercado has a collaboration in ABS-CBN music company Star Music. "Ang kapal magtanong kung may ABS pa ba, kahit alam niyang may gagawin ang asawa niya sa Star Music (The nerve to ask if there is still ABS, even though he knows his wife has an upcoming collaboration with Star Music),'' a netizen wrote.
