- Coco Martin supports Sen. Grace Poe’s presidential bid
- He joins the lady senator’s campaign sorties in Bacolod City and Puerto Princesa City
- He says he’s doing it for free
“FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” lead actor Coco Martin showed his support to the presidential bid of Sen. Grace Poe.
He joined the lady senator’s campaign sorties in Bacolod City, Negros Occidental and Puerto Princesa City, Palawan on Thursday, April 21.
According to an article published by Philippine Daily Inquirer, Poe’s spokesperson, Valenzuela Mayor Rex Gatchalian, said in a text message that the actor is doing it without any compensation because he believes in what the lady senator is fighting for — ending poverty and unemployment.
“Anybody, who wants to contribute to nation building, and anybody who believes in the advocacies of Senator Poe is welcome to join the campaign,” he added.
Martin affirmed what Mayor Gatchalian said.
“I am doing this for free…as a volunteer. Grace Poe is my President and when you believe in someone that much, no amount of money can match one’s beliefs,” he said.
According to an article published by Manila Bulletin, the actor revealed he had studied Sen. Poe’s platforms and watched the presidential debates.
As for now, he will be focusing on campaigning for Sen. Poe because he is still pondering on the vice presidentiables and senators.
“I will campaign for her as long as I can,” he added,
The Kapamilya actor said that as of September last year he was still undecided whether he’ll support the lady senator’s candidacy, despite being close to Susan Roces, the adoptive mother of Sen. Poe.
According to an article published by Philippine Entertainment Portal, Martin doesn’t want to campaign for a candidate just because he’s acquainted with the person; adding that he wants to use his influence as a celebrity for the common good.
