Dennis Trillo intrigues with cryptic ‘hugas kamay’ remark

Dennis Trillo got netizens talking anew after he shared a cryptic remark about washing one’s hands in a “sewer,” after Patrick Garcia’s tell-all about his past relationship with Jennylyn Mercado.
Trillo — who married Mercado in 2021 and soon after legally adopted her and Garcia’s child Alex Jazz — shared the post via his TikTok page on Wednesday, Sept. 30.
“Kapag naghugas ka ng kamay sa kanal, lalo lang dudumi,” he wrote as his Memo No. 01, with the post featuring the song “Tabing Ilog” by Barbie’s Cradle.
While he did not name anyone, some netizens have linked the remark to Garcia and his recent interview with Ogie Diaz, where the actor spoke about Mercado and their son Jazz.

Trillo further piqued the curiosity of his TikTok followers after he liked a comment from a netizen who jokingly asked if the “sewer” the actor was referring to was Diaz.
Trillo also responded to a TikTok user who dared him to fistfight with a certain Patrick.
“Hindi ako pumapatol sa Starfish,” he said, apparently referencing the fictional character from the animated series “SpongeBob SquarePants.”
Meanwhile, Trillo’s recent social media posts drew laughs from netizens. On Facebook, he joked about having a dance showdown with a certain someone if his post reached thousands of likes. He also responded to a netizen’s playful remark in a separate Threads post.

Garcia’s earlier interview included his denial of claims that he abandoned Mercado in 2008 while she was pregnant with Jazz. He claimed that the actress was the one who did not want him involved in the pregnancy.
Garcia also disclosed that he had not seen Jazz since 2017, saying Mercado had not responded whenever he reached out to see their son. He admitted as well that he had not provided financial support since then.
Mercado opted not to comment on the matter, but appealed to the public to stop the bashing toward Garcia’s family. /edv
