Jennylyn Mercado, Dennis Trillo share challenges they faced in ‘Sanggang Dikit FR'
Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo are open that taking on their new series, 'Sanggang Dikit FR,' has not been without its hurdles.
According to Nelson Canlas' report in '24 Oras" Friday, the project marks the Kapuso couple's first time working on an action series together.
'Medyo challenging siya talaga dahil hindi na rin ako masyadong bata so iba na rin 'yung kinakailangan na energy para dito. Talagang medyo matindi 'yung mga physical scenes namin. Maraming takbuhan, ang daming fight scenes, so medyo kinakailangan ng maraming—medyo kailangan fit ka eh, malakas ka,' Jennylyn said.
'Challenge kapagka ano, halimbawa nag-away kayo. Nag-aaway in real life tapos kailangan maging maayos,' Dennis said. 'Doon mo susubukan 'yung pagka-professional. So dapat talagang iwan niyo 'yung problema at pagka nagtatrabaho, trabaho talaga.'
They will soon fly to Europe and the United Arab Emirates to shoot some scenes and they will bring their three kids with them.
'OK lang kung mga three days lang, two days. Pero pag two weeks, naku po. Ang hirap,' Jennylyn said.
'Sanggang Dikit FR' is a buddy-cop series that channels the style of '80s action films.
In February, Jennylyn and Dennis went target shooting in preparation for the project.
Jennylyn started shooting for the series the same month and admitted that she felt the jitters.
Aside from DenJen, the series also stars Juancho Triviño, Joross Gamboa, Chanty Videla, Sam Pinto, and "Lumpia Queen" Abi Marquez, and more.
'Sanggang Dikit FR' premieres on June 23 at 8:50 p.m. on GMA Prime.

Bianca Umali pens heartfelt letter after becoming crowd favorite among PBB fans
Bianca Umali's stay as celebrity house guest in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" may be short, but it was enough to capture the hearts of the viewers who grew fond of her. On Instagram, the Sparkle star shared a photo of her younger self along with a heartfelt message for the PBB fans who showed her love during and after her stint. "Hello po sa inyong lahat. Hindi ko po alam kung saan at paano po magsisimula. Sobra sobra po itong ipinaparamdam ninyo sa akin and I couldn't stop crying. Pang ilang araw na po na sumasabog ang puso ko with gratitude," Bianca wrote. "Maraming salamat po sa inyo. This is the most that I have ever felt love in my life from the outside world," she added. According to Bianca, having been an orphan most of her life, she believed the only love she would ever have, truly deserve, and never lose was from her Lola Vicky—a love that made her feel content and whole. "But now? Oh wow. As I was praying… God gave me the answer. This is what love is. This is a version of the love I thought I would never have… this is the love of my Mommy and my Daddy being showered upon me through all of you and words aren't even enough to express the state I am experiencing. This is surreal. I am over the moon," Bianca said. She also thanked the viewers for giving their time to listen to their story, and said that she never thought that it is possible to feel a love that is beyond measure. "Ka mahal mahal po pala ako ng ganito ka sobra. I never knew I could be loved this much! Ngayon, I have learned na - hindi na ako magisa at lalong hindi na ako dapat matakot sa mga tao at sa mundo. Alam ko na po ito dahil po sa inyo," the Kapuso star said. "Ama, taos-puso po akong nagpasasalamat sa inyo para po sa biyayang mga pangyayari na ito! Kahit kailan ay hindi po ako humiling… at sobra sobra pa po ang binibigay ninyo!" Bianca added. Ending her post, the "Sang'gre" star expressed her love for all the kind praises she received from the netizens. "From the bottom of my heart, mahal na mahal ko din po kayong lahat! If only I could hug each and every one of you ng mahigpit! Ayun lang po okay Iyak lang po ako ulit wait lang po." Previously, Bianca said that she entered PBB because of her late mom May, who was a big fan of the reality show. While inside Bahay ni Kuya, she went viral for cleaning the house. Kuya also gave her a name tag of her mom with his signature at the back. After her PBB stint, Bianca is set to star in "Sang'gre," which will air on GMA Prime beginning on June 16. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News

According to Nelson Canlas' report in "24 Oras Weekend," Sunday, the Kapuso celebrities are Glaiza De Castro, Faith Da Silva, Rodjun Cruz, Thea Astley, and VXON member Patrick. Meanwhile, for the content creator side, they are Dasuri Choi, Zeus Collins, Joshua Decena, JM Yrreverre and Kakai Almeda. "Dancer ako dito. Aartehin ko ko na magaling ako sumayaw so abangan niyo po ang aking pag-arte bilang mahusay na mananayaw," Glaiza said. Meanwhile for Faith, she's giving her all out effort in dancing as sharing the dance floor with amazing dancers in the country is such a privilege. "'Yung stage presence ko is there. Atsaka sinisipagan ko talaga ng matindi kasi it's such a privilege to be sharing a stage kasama ang mga naghuhusayang dancer dito sa Pilipinas," she said. Meanwhile for Zeus and Dasuri, "Stars on the Floor" is a big challenge for them as they will be performing in front of a big audience and to try new genres of dancing. "We just show our skills sa world through our phone. Ngayon kasi ang daming camera sa harap namin atsaka, ang laki ng stage 360 [degrees]. As in grabe, walang take two kaya super grabe ang pressure," Dasuri said. "'Yung mga genre na ibinibigay sa amin ay hindi kami familiar. Kumbaga ako hiphop, may mga jazz o paso-doble. Kaya andon 'yung mga photographer na talagang inaalalayan kami. And siyempre challenge 'ito sa amin kasi sobrang nahihirapan kaming lahat kahit hindi talaga siya madali," Zeus added. "Stars on the Floor" is hosted by Alden Richards with Marian Rivera, Pokwang and SB19 choreographer Coach Jay serving as the judges. "Stars on the Floor" will begin airing on GMA Network on June 28. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
