Speaking during the event, Dennis recalled his final taping for Maalaala Mo Kaya before transferring to GMA. At the time, he happened to see the talent fee of one of his fellow actors, an amount that immediately became his personal goal.

“Tapos no’ng time na yun, nasilip ko yung TF ng kasamahan ko.”
“Nakita ko, 15k yung rate n’ya per taping.”
“Tapos sabi ko, ‘Kailan kaya ako magkakaroon ng ganitong klaseng TF? Sigurado kapag nagkaroon ako ng ganitong kalaking TF per day, mas makakaipon ako at mabibili ko yung mga kailangan ko.’”
For Dennis, that seemingly modest dream became the motivation that pushed him to continue working hard despite the uncertainties of being a young actor. Years later, after joining GMA Network, he realized that the move would become one of the biggest turning points in his professional life.
Reflecting on his decision, Dennis said he immediately felt that the network offered him greater opportunities to grow as an artist.
“Sabi ko, may kalalagyan ako dito.”
“Feeling ko may mas future ako dito at nagkatotoo nga.”
“Nagkaroon ako ng ilang mga proyekto.”
“Pinagkatiwala nila yung malalaking shows sa GMA at ayun, unti-unti feeling ko nararating ko na, nakukuha ko na yung rhythm ko sa aking career.”
Over the past two decades, Dennis has established himself as one of GMA’s most respected leading men, portraying a wide range of memorable characters and consistently taking on challenging roles that showcased his versatility.
During the contract renewal, he also expressed heartfelt gratitude to the network for the opportunities it provided, saying the impact went beyond his own success.
“Hindi ko makakalimutan na talagang binago n’yo yung buhay ko, lahat ng pagkakataon na binigay n’yo sa akin at hindi lang sa akin kundi sa mga tao sa paligid ko at sa mga taong natulungan ko kaya maraming salamat sa inyo.”
“Hinding hindi ko makakalimutan yung pagbabago ng buhay ko nang dahil sa GMA.”
Following his renewed partnership with the network, Dennis is preparing for another busy chapter in his career. He will lead the upcoming GMA drama series Hari ng Tondo and will also star in the GMA Pictures film Amir, one of the official entries to this year’s 52nd Metro Manila Film Festival.
