Kapuso star Kristoffer Martin reacted to Juancho Trivino and Mikoy Morales’s comments on September 27, saying that he’s an underrated actor.
At the media conference for his single Di Ba? with the press, including LionhearTV, Martin acknowledged the opinion of his Kapuso friends.
“Kasi ang hirap, pag sinabi kong underrated ako edi parang sinabi ko na kailangan mas-deserve ko ‘yun, kailangan ganito ‘yung status ng career ko ngayon. Sila ‘yun eh, opinion nila ‘yun, kaibigan ko sila, mahal ko sila Mikoy, tsaka– lalo na si Juancho.”
However, Martin noted that he paid no attention to it since he didn’t want it to affect his ego.
“Sobrang mahal ko sila, kung nakikita nila ‘yun edi thank you, pero ako, ayaw ko kasi tignan ‘yung sarili ko na ganon na underrated ako, kailangan ito ‘yung matanggap ko, ang mangyayari kasi niyan, tataas ang ego ko eh, na I will demand more, na ako nga sabi ko nga, tapos na ako sa ganong stage, noong bata ako, aminin ko po, ganon talaga ako. Na parang, ‘Parang ito lang ‘yung natatanggap ko, dapat ganito ako, kasi ganito-ganito ako.'”
He thanked GMA Network for their support in his career, admitting that he used to be arrogant.
“Pero, hindi po siya nakatulong sa akin, personally, hindi po nakatulong ‘yung ganong mindset sa akin. Sabi ko nga, na-appreciate ko na lalo ‘yung mga small things po. Kaya sobrang thank you GMA na twelve years na po akong na sa kanila, na kahit pasaway ako dati, na tapos na po ako sa stage na arrogante ka kasi ganon.”
Martin started his showbiz career in 2007 when he joined ABS-CBN’s Little Big Superstar.
He then starred in various Kapuso series after transferring to GMA Network in 2010.
Some of the series he worked on are Munting Heredera, Pahiram ng Sandali, Kakambal ni Eliana and Kahit Nasaan Ka Man.
Now he returns to musical roots with the single Di Ba? under GMA Music.
