Januel Mercado and Dolly de Leon met at the Governors Ball after the Oscars Awards show.
LOS ANGELES — "I have always wanted to meet Dolly de Leon all throughout awards season, but our paths never crossed. I wanted to tell her how inspired I was by her captivating performance in 'Triangle of Sadness,'" revealed Fil-Am co-director of Oscar-nominated animated film "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" Januel Mercado told us.
"I told Dolly that her performance had me leaning in my seat the entire time. I was so honored to take a photo with her, and I was pleasantly surprised at how equally enthusiastic she was in making sure she captured one with her phone too."Born to Filipino parents—his mom is from Santa Cruz, Zambales and his dad is from Manila—Mercado described his first Oscar experience as "surreal and incredible.
Mercado, who has shared with us that he is lucky that his parents have supported his creative dreams ever since he displayed his passion for doing comic arts in grade school, is very proud to wear his dad's Barong Tagalog to the recent Oscars.He narrated, "This particular Barong Tagalog was custom-made for my dad in the Philippines nearly a decade ago. He has quite a collection of Barongs. I loved the modern fit and clean embroidered details of this one.
