Both artists expressed gratitude as well to GMA Senior Vice President Annette Gozon-Valdes and GMA Pictures Executive Vice President Nessa Valdellon for allowing them to be part of the awaited film.
“We owe it all to Ms Annette who opened the doors for us. We pitched the idea of co-producing Green Bones and she immediately said yes,” Dennis expressed.
