Ruru Madrid grateful for winning Best Supporting Actor for ‘Green Bones' at EDDYs 2025
The Kapuso actor won his third acting award for the film, this time from the Entertainment Editors' Choice Awards or the EDDYs.
Ruru shared a message of gratitude on Instagram, saying, 'Pangatlong biyaya, pero sa bawat pagkilala, laging bago ang pasasalamat.'
'Hindi madaling pagsabayin ang pagiging critically acclaimed at tinangkilik ng masa. Pero ang pelikulang ito ay patunay na kapag totoo ang puso mo sa sining, mararamdaman ito ng bawat manonood.'
Ruru also reflected on how nothing is impossible as long as one has perseverance, love for the craft, and chooses to be a good person in their career and life.
Ruru thanked the EDDYs for the award, and said it was an honor to stand alongside influential artists.
'Mas lalo nitong pinatibay ang panata ko: Ako'y alagad ng sining—at habang naririto ako, patuloy kong ihahayag sa mundo ang galing, kwento, at talento ng Pilipino,' he said.
'Para sa lahat ng naniwala. Para sa lahat ng nagmahal sa pelikula. Para sa bayan,' Ruru added. 'Mabuhay ang pelikulang Pilipino. Tuloy ang kwento.'
'Green Bones' won several at the EDDYs 2025, including Best Picture, Best Actor for Dennis Trillo, Best Director for Zig Dulay, and Best Cinematography for Neil Daza. Dennis and Ruru accepted the Box Office Hero award.
It also bagged several awards at the Metro Manila Film Festival 2024, such as Best Picture, Best Screenplay (Ricky Lee and MMFF 2023 Best Screenplay winner Angeli Atienza), Best Actor (Dennis), Best Supporting Actor (Ruru), Best Cinematography (Neil), and Best Child Performer (Sienna Stevens).
Moreover, it won First Best Picture, Best Actor (Dennis), Best Supporting Actor (Ruru), and Best Director (Direk Zig) at the 3rd Gawad Dangal Filipino Awards.
'Green Bones' follows Domingo Zamora (Dennis), who is notorious for the murder of his sister and her daughter. Now that Domingo is up for parole, the newly assigned prison guard (Ruru) takes a personal interest in making sure that he remains behind bars no matter what.
The GMA Pictures film debuted on Netflix in June and immediately climbed to the top spot on the list of Top Movies in the Philippines on its debut week.

Nikko Natividad, Zeus Collins look back on humble beginnings before entering showbiz
Before breaking into showbiz, Nikko Natividad and Zeus Collins navigated challenging paths, each driven by unique circumstances and a determination to rise above their humble beginnings. On Friday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Nikko and Zeus took a trip down memory lane and shared how they juggled jobs to make a living. 'Marami akong napagdaan na work,' Nikko said. Among the past jobs the model and actor took on were serving as a waiter and wedding coordinator, as well as cleaning jeepneys and even working at a salon. 'Plantsa, blower, ayon. Kasi assistant eh. Muntik akong turuan mag-gupit talaga, kaso nga nakapag-abroad. Hindi ko naman gugustuhing matuto. Ang habol ko lang, Tito Boy, ay trabaho. Kita. Siyempre, dahil doon, kailangan mong matuto,' he said. His pursuit of better opportunities led him to work abroad in the United Arab Emirates as a florist, admitting that he had no actual knowledge of flower arrangement but claimed he did to secure the job. 'Sinabi ko marunong ako kahit hindi. Kasi ang mindset ko dati, basta pag nakapag-abroad, gaganda buhay. 'Di ba laging ganyan noon?' he said. Meanwhile, Zeus' story is deeply rooted in his lifelong passion for dance. 'Tinuruan po kasi ako ng nanay ko, anim na taon pa lang ako. 'Yun, nilalaban niya na ako sa fiesta, sa mga bara-barangay, kung saan-saan na ako nakakarating. Taong kalye talaga ako. As in, sa street talaga ako natutong sumayaw. 'Yung mga kasama ko sa Pasay,' said the professional dancer. He recalled his father often got angry because he would stay out late dancing. 'Sa sobrang hirap ng buhay namin noon, sa Pasay, 15, nagtrabaho na ako. Tumigil ako ng pag-aaral para makatulong na ako sa magulang ko. 'Yun, dire-diretso na po. Wala na po akong alam na ibang trabaho,' Zeus said. He also had offers to become a macho dancer in a gay bar. 'Siyempre siguro dahil matangkad ako or kahit papaano, may katawan ako nang konti. Na-offer na po sa 'kin yan,' Zeus said. However, Zeus declined even if it meant that he would earn more. 'Hindi ko naman po inaano 'yung gumagawa ng mga gano'n. Ako naman, parang sabi ko, sarili ko, hala, hindi ko kaya 'yan. Kasi, siyempre may mga ibang skills 'yan eh. Kasi bata pa ako noon eh. Gano'n pa 'yung isip ko,' he said. Instead, he chose to rely on his talent for breakdancing and hip-hop. His ambition was to participate in competitions or, if fortunate, become a backup dancer for celebrities. Zeus is currently part of 'Stars on the Floor,' which is hosted by Alden Richards. It airs Saturdays on GMA Network at 7:15 p.m. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
