"Lahat ng tao puwede bigyan ng second chance. Kahit noon pa, kahit gaano ka pa grabe iyong mga nagawa niya. Tao lang tayo. Lahat tayo tingin ko may karapatan… pwede natin bigyan ng chance bawat isa para mag bago," Trillo said.

"Sa totoo lang? Walang problema. Ngayon mas mahirap lang dahil may ganyan. Lahat to madadaan sa mabuting usapan," he said.
Trillo admitted that his family was surprised when Garcia sat down with Ogie Diaz and publicly shared his side of the story regarding his breakup with Mercado.
According to Trillo, he wished Garcia had approached them directly instead of discussing the matter publicly.
"Kung dumiretso siya sana amin, hindi na sana dinaan sa ibang tao," he said.
He also acknowledged that the situation was particularly surprising because Garcia had remained silent about the matter for many years.
"Nagulat. Dahil more than twenty, 18 years bago nagsalita, kwento. Nakakagulat lang dahil tahimik na lahat. Siyempre naungkat pa mga dati," Trillo said.
Amid the controversy, Trillo appealed to the public to leave the children out of the dispute involving the adults.
"Hiling namin sana matapos na ng pang-bash. Ayaw natin noon. Oo, magulang involved dito pero wag na natin involve mga bata. At the end of the day, sila buhay natin, prinoprotektahan natin, sila mga mahal natin. Ayaw natin masangkot pa sila sa gantong kaguluhan," he said.

Trillo explained that his decision to speak up was rooted in his responsibility as a father and as someone protecting his family.
"Ako na lang talaga kasi siyempre pamilya ko iyon. Walang ibang magtatangol. Iyon ang pangunahing responsibilidad ko bilang ama, tumatayong tatay. Gagawin mo lahat para protektahan sila at all costs," he explained.
He added that remaining strong is important when one's family is involved in a difficult situation.
"Well, kailangan mo maging matibay. Isipin mo lagi pamilya. Sila importante. Harapin dapat ng matapang, pamilya kasi usapan," Trillo said.
The actor also expressed gratitude to people who have continued to support his family throughout the controversy.
"Hindi maiwasan ganto… Thankful na maraming nagtatanggol sa amin at sumusuporta," he said.
When asked about Mercado and Jazz, Trillo said they were doing fine and continuing with their usual activities.
"OK naman, tahimik. Kanina nag lunch out kami magkakasama," he shared.
Trillo also clarified his earlier reaction involving Gelli de Belen's statements on "Chika Cart." He stressed that he was not holding a grudge against anyone and described his response as a father's instinct to protect his family.
"Wala akong ramdam na galit kahit kanino. Initial na reaksyon lang yun ng isang tatay na nagtatangol sa pamilya. Isang tatay na umiiwas [madagdagan] trauma. Andoon ako para harangin yun. Para hindi madagdagan," he said.
The program later released a statement clarifying that it was not taking sides and did not intend to disrespect anyone involved.
"Mabuti naman kung walang kinakampihan. Yan role ng host maging neutral patas at alamin side ng lahat," Trillo said.
Despite the controversy surrounding his personal life, Trillo also had a major professional milestone during the Golden Screen Dekada Awards 2026. He took home two Best Actor trophies for his performances in "Green Bones" and "Felix Manalo."
