MANILA  -- Aguila Entertainment, which manages the careers of celebrity couple Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado, has dispelled rumors about their artists.

A statement posted by Aguila Entertainment's Becky Aguila on her personal Facebook account first clarified that Mercado remains a talent of GMA Network.

This was after netizens speculated that Mercado might be leaving her home network because of her absence in the recently released station ID of GMA 7. She also recently signed a contract with ABS-CBN's record label Star Music for a recording comeback.

The talent manager also explained the reason why Mercado was not seen in the GMA station ID.

"She was absent from the station ID simply because she was unavailable that day. Rest assured GMA extended an invitation to her, which we very much appreciate," she explains.

The management team also defended Trillo after the actor trended on X (formerly known as Twitter) when a netizen asked him to clarify alleged Mercado's career move after she signed on ABS-CBN's record label.

Courtesy Aguila Entertainment FB"As for Dennis’ alleged comments on Tiktok, it was not him. Dennis is a very humble and respectful and known to be a man of few words. He is not the type who would release comments that are insensitive to others most specially to his former colleagues in ABS-CBN where he was first launched via Star Circle. His account was hacked yesterday as what our official statement said," they said.

"Hope [this] clears everything. We appeal to the public to stop spreading hate and false accusations online."
