Kapuso actor Dennis Trillo exploded in anger and clapped back at bashers after they criticized the eldest child of his wife, Jennylyn Mercado. Watch and listen to the full story.

Dennis Trillo could no longer contain his anger and finally responded to some bashers who left negative comments about Jennylyn Mercado’s son. As a result, several online critics targeting Dennis were slammed for making offensive remarks about his stepson, Alex Jazz, who is Jennylyn’s son with actor Patrick Garcia.

It all started when Jen posted a video on her social media page on Sunday, June 22, showing their bonding moments with Dennis and their sons Alex Jazz and Calix at a mall. Many netizens were touched and admired the wholesome and joyful family dynamic, especially seeing how Dennis treats Alex as his own son.

However, despite the positive reactions, some netizens couldn’t help but make rude and insensitive comments about Jazz, speculating that he might have autism due to his supposedly “soft” mannerisms. When Dennis saw these comments about his stepson, he clearly got irritated and didn’t hesitate to call them out. Dennis responded, “Wow, I’m so embarrassed for your face.”

The public is aware that Jazz was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a neurodevelopmental condition that typically appears early in childhood. Children with ASD may experience differences in communication, interaction, and behavior.

Jennylyn Mercado also couldn’t hold back her anger toward those who were quick to judge. She likewise reacted strongly against the harsh comments made about her son.

Some netizens also voiced their dismay, criticizing those who are judgmental and lacking compassion. They said, “In today’s world, why are people still pointing out whether someone has a condition or not? Can’t we just see everyone equally and treat them normally? It’s not a loss to you to be a good person. If you have nothing nice to say, just keep it to yourself.”

Others were happy to see the genuine brotherly bond between Jazz and Calix, saying it’s a sign that Jen and Dennis are raising their kids well. Many also praised Dennis Trillo for defending Jennylyn’s son, which is why it’s no surprise that the Kapuso actress loves him even more.
