Recently, I attended a press conference with Juan Dela Cruz himself Coco Martin at Luxent Hotel in Timog Quezon City. Together with other press and online writers, we had our dinner first and get to know some of the individuals in the room.
The long wait is over and Coco came over with a cutest smile in the world hehe..Before he sat down for an interview or Q&A portion, he gave hugs and kisses to the press who accompanied him through the journey of his showbiz career. So sweet and adorable person, hoping someday I could have one hug also heheh...
He shared that his very happy for this unique role as Juan Dela Cruz and an opportunity to become more role model especially for younger generation because it will focus on faith in God, good individual, loving and caring hero. Likewise in partnership with Erich Gonzales is more of showing how you take care on the one you love "Erich as Rosario, excited akong makatrabaho sya kasi isa sya sa hinahangaan ko".
Coco Martin is more focus on his career right know and taking chances on mastering his craft while the pot is hot "Napakasaya ko po ngayon sa itinatakbo ng career ko, ang pamilya at trabaho ko po ang pinagtutuunan ko ng pansin sa ngayon, ang pag-ibig dadating po tayo dyan". "Madami po akong gustong mapasaya ng sobra ngayon lalo po ang lola ko na nagpalaki sa akin, mahal na mahal ko po sya".
Moreover, Coco also ask what's his difference and similarities from Juan Dela Cruz and he says "Ordinaryong tao din po ako gaya ni Juan Dela Cruz na sinisimbolo ng bawat Filipino, kinopsento po ito ng creatives as ako pagkatao ko po, kasi sabi ko nga indi po ako perfect na tao indi din po sobrang sama pareho lang ni Juan na may tagapagbantay at aswang na side, siguro ang tanging difference is ung kinalakihan namin ako po sa Lola siya indi po sya lumaki sa family nya".
There's a lot of things Coco shared with us and one thing I learned and discovered about him that everning, he is a dedicated actor and a good person inside and out. I will definitely follow him on small screen and join him through the journey of good life, good faith and loving person.
