Kristoffer Martin had created a deep friendship with Marian Rivera while they filmed for Super Ma’am. They also continued their friendship after the said supernatural action series.
In an interview with PEP.ph, Kristoffer described Marian as caring but many people carry a misconception about Marian’s attitude and behavior.
In the said interview, Kristoffer emphasized that Marian doesn’t look at herself higher than others.
“Sobrang iba. Sobrang iba yung pagmamahal ni Ate Yan sa mga tao. Sobra siyang mag-alaga, sobrang tropa, eh. Alam mo ‘yung nanay ka na, pero tropa ka? Ang sarap. ‘Yun yung masarap na bonding kay Ate Yan, eh. Parang hindi niya tinitingnan ‘yung sarili niya as ganito, eh. ‘Pag Marian Rivera siya, siyempre, lahat ng tao na first time siyang makatrabaho, maiintimidate talaga, eh.”
Kristoffer shared that Marian would break the wall between them. She would also add that they would treat each other as family.
“Pero si Ate Yan, the first day, the first word na sabihin mo sa kanya, ibbreak niya agad ‘yung wall na yun, eh. Na hindi dapat ganyan, magkakaibigan tayo lahat, pamilya tayo lahat.”
Kristoffer revealed that he used to feel intimidated by Marian but anyone would probably feel the same way.
“Siyempre, naintimidate. Lalo na ‘yung mga first scenes namin? Siyempre, malay ko ba kung maalala pa ako ni Ate Yan nung ‘Endless Love.’ May eksena kami na sobra akong nagss-stutter kasi kinakabahan nga ako. Marian Rivera nasa harapan ko, kaeksena ko.”
Kristoffer shared that Marian would treat him like a little brother. He also added that he would share many things to Marian.
“Pero, hindi. After noon, sobrang usap, sobrang dami nang kwento. Atsaka dami ko na ring nakwento kay Ate Yan. Sobrang dami. Atsaka siya rin, nagkukwento. Sobrang pamilya talaga. Sobrang ate. Literal na ate siya talaga.”
Kristoffer continued that Marian had remembered working together in Endless Love. He also shared what Marian had done for him during an episode for Party Pilipinas.
“Naalala niya rin ‘yun… Pangit yung wardrobe ko yata nung kapanahunang nag-guest ako sa Party Pilipinas. Siya pa yung nag-ask sa mga wardrobe na ‘Palitan niyo wardrobe nito, ayokong lalabas ‘yan ng ganyan.”
Kristoffer had already shared secrets with Marian and wouldn’t forget many things with Marian.
“Sobrang personal, eh. Si Ate Yan, ‘di niya ako jinudge. Sobrang suportado lang niya na andyan lang daw siya. ‘Yun yung parang hinding hindi ko makakalimutan na nasabi ko ‘yun kay Ate Yan.”
Kristoffer also revealed that he would always try to stand up against Marian’s haters and bashers.
“Ang sarap ipagtanggol. Kasi, ‘di naman talaga ganun, eh. Kumbaga si Ate Yan ‘yung taong kausapin mo kasi bago mo siya makilala.”
