How Absolute Water ambassadors Jennylyn Mercado and Dennis Trillo nurture love in their blended family

Despite the evident love within them, some still cling to old-fashioned ideas of what a "real" family should look like, often viewing blended families—where parents have children from previous relationships—as taboo. Yet, as societal norms evolve, so too does our understanding of family. 

This Mother’s Day, Absolute is celebrating the occasion by welcoming Jennylyn Mercado, Dennis Trillo, and their kids as the new endorsers of the brand, making the partnership more meaningful.

Pure, nurturing love is what Absolute stands for, and Jennylyn and Dennis' family serves as a real-life example of how this kind of love can create strong bonds in any family structure.

Both accomplished actors, Jennylyn and Dennis have always openly shared their love story, including the joys and complexities of raising their three children: Calix, Dennis' son; Jazz, Jennylyn's son; and their daughter Dylan, whom they welcomed into their lives in 2022.

Dennis offered a glimpse into their approach to parenting in an interview with Modern Parenting, highlighting the strength of their family: “A blended family is like a regular and normal family. Sa amin, kahit blended kami at modern ang setup, we see to it na masaya ang bawat isa and talagang solid kahit ano pang tawag diyan.”

A mother’s love

Absolute’s tagline, “Love is pure. Love is absolute,” is a truth embodied by Jennylyn, Dennis, and their family. It's with this love that they nurture their blended family.

In Absolute’s Mother’s Day video, Dennis shared his admiration for his wife as a mother.

“Sobrang maalaga mo sa bawa’t miyembro ng pamilya natin. Sinisiguro mo na safe lahat. Sinisiguro mo na magiging kumportable lahat. Ikaw talaga yung nagbibigay ng tough love na tingin ko napaka importante,” he said to his wife.

Dennis and Jennylyn’s openness about the ups and downs of building their blended family embodies what Absolute Distilled Drinking Water champions: a love that nurtures, a bond that endures.
