Showbiz columnist praised Coco Martin’s attitude toward helping other people and even compared the actor to Wowowin host Willie Revillame.
In an episode of Fermin’s YouTube show Showbiz Now Na on February 16, she talked about Martin’s new Kapamilya series FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.
“Unang tatlong gabi po ng matagumpay na pagpapalabas ng ‘Batang Quiapo’… Iba pa rin talaga ang karisma ng Coco Martin pagdating sa serye.”
FPJ’s Batang Quiapo was well-received by the people as it scored 13.2% in NUTAM People Survey on February 16. It is a percent higher than GMA Network’s Maria Clara at Ibarra, which registered a rating of 12.2 percent.
Fermin also shared Martin’s humble attitude toward helping others.
His fellow actor Pen Media shared how Martin helped him with his medical expenses.
“Yun pong pagpapaospital ko, naoperahan ako sa spine, pinakamatinding tumulong po sa akin si Coco. Kaya nang lumabas ako as early as August, nagpasalamat ako sa kanya. Tineks ko siya. Ang sinagot niya sa akin, ‘Tito Pen, malakas ka na ba? Taping tayo para hindi ka mainip sa bahay,” said Medina.
This impressed Fermin as she felt Martin’s sincerity in helping. She then talked about how Martin is being compared to Wowoin host Willie Revillame who recently had an issue about asking for help from people.
“Ang pagtulong po ni Coco Martin kay Tito Pen (Medina), pinuri po ng ating mga kababayan. Dahil ‘yan po ay sinabi ni Tito Pen Medina sa mediacon, sa press con ng Batang Quiapo na kasagsagan naman ng issue ng panunumbat ni Willie Revillame sa mga taong natulungan niya,” said Fermin.
Recently, Willie Revillame asked for help from people to show respect after rumors spread that his show Wowowin and other AllTV programs will temporarily stop airing.
He then mentioned the person he helped who received a car and a condo unit.
