On May 4, Kapamilya actress Charo Santos-Concio described Coco Martin as an intuitive artist.
At the media conference for FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’s new chapter, which LionhearTV covered, Santos-Concio highlighted Martin’s ability to tell a story in a natural flow.
The veteran actress explained, “Coco kasi, as an artist, is very intuitive. So he goes with the flow of his character or the scene, kaya natural na natural na lumalabas. Yung pag lalahad niya, there’s a flow– a natural flow of events. So sabi ko noong napanood ko, Direk, nakakakilig, tamang-tama ‘yung ginawa mo. But he just went with the flow, very intuitive siya as an artist.”
She then talked about her character in the action-drama and how it connects with Martin’s ‘Tanggol.’
Santos-Concio defined her character in the series as a brave woman who follows her principles and does not pass judgment. She also emphasized her unshakable affection for her grandson. She furthered, “Nalalagay niya sa konteksto ang pinagdadaanan ng apo niya. Ang galaw ng buhay, kaya ano siya, maprinsipyo, matapang, may lakas ng loob, but she has a good heart and she loves her apo deeply, unconditional love talaga.”
She also discussed how she relates to Lola Tindeng in real life. She explained, “There’s a Tindeng in me. I want to believe that I’m a strong woman, I’m independent, and I have my own set of values I believe in. But I look at the world from a set of eyes with compassion and kindness.”
The actress added, “And a loving lola, a doting lola, oo to four grandchildren. There’s nothing being like a lola, pero ibang klaseng apo itong si Tanggol, pasaway.”
