FPJ’s ‘Batang Quiapo’ star Coco Martin helped Raul Dillo a.k.a. “Kapre” who asked him for assistance.
In a Facebook post by 3B Hoops on March 14, Dillo asked Martin to give him a role in FPJBQ as he is currently struggling financially.
Dillo had previous roles as Kapre, a giant Filipino mythical creature sa mitolohiyang Pilipino, sa mga pelikula gaya ng “Code Name: Bomba” (1998), “Super Inday and the Golden Bibe” (2010), at “Spirit Warriors” (2000).
Dillo’s post reached Coco Martin, who decided to give him a role in FPJBQ.
Dillo then posted a video thanking the actor. He said that he would do his best in the series and make sure to value the opportunity given to him. He shared, “Hindi ko po lubos akalaing ako ay bibigyan ng pansin, ang aking panawagan kay idol Direk Coco Martin. Natawagan na po ako ng production ng Batang Quiapo at napansin na po ni Direk Coco Martin ang aking panawagan. Kaya po nag-uumapaw po ang aking kaligayahan, hindi ko po halos ine-expect ito.”
He added, “Gagawin ko po ang lahat para po mabigyan ko kayo ng kasiyahan sa pamumuhay po sa araw-araw at lubos po talaga ang aking kaligayahan dahil kung hindi dahil sa inyo ay hindi ako mapapansin ni direk idol Coco Martin.”
This was not the first time Coco Martin helped a struggling artist. He previously helped artists who had no projects like Whitney Tyson, CJ Ramos, and John Wayne Sace among others.
