Barking up the wrong tree?
It seems social media influencer Rendon Labador’s beef with Coco Martin and FPJ’s Batang Quiapo is far from over.
In his latest social media post, Labador slammed the Kapamilya actor again, using his same old argument about FPJBQ’s shooting. This caused poor sales for Quiapo vendors.
Labador posted, “STORBO SA QUIAPO!!!! Dito ako nasasaktan kapag apektado sila. Kahit pagtulungan ninyo akong lahat, ipaglalaban ko parin ang alam kong tama!”
He added, “Coco Martin, huwag kang mag tanga tangahan.. maaring madaming blessings sayo pero sana may puso ka para sa mga maliit nating mga negosyante na apektado sa ginagawa mo. UMALIS KA NA SA QUIAPO at humanap ng sarili mong STUDIO para hindi ka nakaka storbo sa pag hahanap buhay nila.”

In his post, Labador attached a video clip of an ongoing shooting in Quiapo.
However, the video featured the location shoot of GMA Network’s action-fantasy series ‘Mga Lihim ni Urduja’ and not Coco Martin’s FPJ’s ‘Batang Quiapo’ prompting several netizens to ask who’s the real “tanga-tangahan” between him and Martin.
Labador’s gripes against the “Primetime King” started when one Quiapo vendor shared his concern on social media concerning the disruptions caused by the shooting at FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.
Riding on the popularity of the post, Labador appeared in a Facebook live video calling out the Kapamilya actor and FPJBQ’s production.
It was followed by several other Facebook posts blasting Martin for disturbing small vendors in Quiapo.
Just recently, he accused Martin and his fans of zero ticket sales at his resto-bar opening.
Meanwhile, Coco Martin brushed off all Labador’s criticism.
In his interview with MJ Marfori, posted on Instagram on March 21, 2023, Martin said he just tries to understand those comments. He noted they secured all the necessary permits from City Hall.

Coco Martin pointed out, “Ako, iniintindi ko na lang na siguro yung mga tao, gusto maghanapbuhay, o kailangan lang na gawin yun. Pero alam ko naman na sana, wala silang masamang intensyon na manggulo o makagulo kasi hindi maganda eh.”
He added, ” Ako naman, sabi ko nga, sa lahat ba ng blessing na dumarating, siguro yung pagiging mabuting tao na lang ang binabalik ko, kaysa na patulan ko or ano.”
“Sa palagay ko naman wala kaming ginagawang masama, di kami lumalabag sa batas, kasi sa una’t una, alam namin po yung ginagawa namin. Pangalawa, nagpaalam po kami sa mayor, sa Manila City Hall, meron din po kaming permiso, una sa ating kapulisan, sa barangay, at pati po sa simbahan ng Quiapo, at sa mga kapatid nating Muslim. Lahat ng yon, naka-organize, at napagpaalaman po natin,”Martin concluded.
