Coco Martin has been known as one of the great talents of today’s generation. Therefore, it is not surprising to know that his first directorial project and film entry for the annual Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), “Ang Panday” gained much attention and admiration from many movie goers.
Prior to being one of the much-awaited films of MMFF 2017, Coco Martin made sure to give his best effort during the promotion of the film. The 36-year-old Kapamilya star has visited numerous cities and towns in the Philippines to encourage people to watch “Ang Panday.”
As part of his Southern Luzon tour, Coco went to Bacoor, Cavite and pleased a number of his Caviteño fans and supporters. Apart from them, actress-turned-politician Bacoor City Mayor Lani Mercado was also glad that the actor-director visited their area.
Mayor Lani said:
“Labis na natutuwa ang lungsod ng Bacoor, Cavite lalo na po ang aming tanggapan na tanggapin si Coco Martin dito sa ating lungsod.”
She added, “Parang anak na namin siya kasi nagsimula si Coco sa Imus production, sa pelikulang Agimat ni lolo. Support siya ni Jolo. Sabi ko sayang sana nandito si Vice Governor Jolo pero he’s sick pero we welcome him at sana tangkilikin natin ang pelikula ni Coco ngayong Pasko.”
In a report published by the Philippines’ Showbiz Ultimate Hub (PUSH), Coco revealed that the Revilla family, which is widely prominent in the town has helped him to achieve success in the showbiz industry.
He shared:
“Actually hindi po alam ng nakararami [na] napakalaki po ng utang na loob ko sa mga Revilla. Kasi noong nagsisimula pa lang po ako mag-artista sila po ang kauna-unahang nagtiwala sa akin dahil ako po yung ginawa nila kontrabida ni Jolo that time.”
“And yung suportang ibinigay po nila sa akin nina Tito Bong, Tita Lani at Jolo. Sabi ko nga hindi ko makakalimutan yun dahil yun ang kauna-unahang pagsali ko sa Metro Manila Film Festival at nandito ako ngayon para magpasalamat naman po sa kanila.”
Mayor Lani, on the other hand, expressed her adoration for Coco Martin who appeared really passionate in his craft.
She stressed, “Nakikita po natin ang talento ni Coco hindi lang siya basta artista. Nagulat po ako kasi para na siyang si Ramon Revilla Sr. Producer, writer, director… lahat na na sa kanya na at artista pa. I really wish him luck. Alam kong titiba itong pelikulang ito gaya ng ibang Panday movie.”
