Hollywood in the Homeland: Manny Jacinto And Dolly de Leon Meet

Manila, Philippines – In what could only be described as a Hollywood-style meet-cute, two of today’s standout Filipino talents crossed paths in Manila: Manny Jacinto and CreaZion Studios Artists’ Dolly de Leon.

Jacinto, in the country for the Freakier Friday Philippine premiere and fan event, met with de Leon—who continues to shine internationally following her string of acclaimed performances in Triangle of Sadness and Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2. 

The meeting, made possible through the collaboration of Disney Philippines and CreaZion Studios Artists management, was a quick but meaningful exchange between two actors who have carved out distinct spaces in international cinema.

“Good to see you!” Jacinto greeted warmly, to which de Leon replied with a smile, “Finally, it’s exciting!” As they chatted, Jacinto said, “Thank you for seeing me.” De Leon, without missing a beat, responded, “Of course I’m gonna be here for you—I’m here to support you, 100%.”

They also chatted about the possibility of working together in the future—something fans will definitely want to watch out for.
