Teleserye King Coco Martin shared why he gets to wear a jacket despite the hot climate.
Martin is known for his hit Kapamilya series FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano. His character would always wear a leather or denim jacket despite the season.
In the teaser of his latest series FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, also, his character is seen wearing a jacket.
In real life, Martin would still wear a leather or denim jacket as a fashion statement.
In a report by Bandera on February 15, the actor explained that he [simply] embodies his character in his series.
“Kasi kapag gumagawa ako ng character sa buhay ko, sa mga proyekto ko, hindi siya parang damit sa akin na hinuhubad lang. Kapag sinimulan ko ang proyekto huhubarin ko ‘yung character ko pagkatapos na nu’ng project.
“Kaya minsan nawiwiduhan sa akin ang mga tao. Sabi sa akin, ‘Ang init-init lagi kang naka-jacket’ Totoo ‘yon. Sabi ko, ‘Paano ko miaarte ang isang character kapag hindi ko isinabuhay?’”
He then explained that he embodies his character to portray it well on television.
“Kapag isinabuhay mo siya, kapag alam mong everyday ikaw na si Cardo, hindi ka na maliligaw kahit nakapikit ka pa, kahit biglang gisingin ka pa, si Cardo ka na.
“Wala akong magagawa ‘yon ang hanapbuhay ko. Kaya minsan anuman ang pananamit ko, eh sinasadya ko ‘yon,” he said.
FPJ’s Batang Quiapo was well-received by the people as it continues to beat Kapuso portal-fantasy series Maria Clara at Ibarra (MCAI) in the rating game.
On February 16, the Coco Martin-led series scored 13.2%, a percent higher than GMA Network’s Maria Clara at Ibarra, which registered a rating of 12.2 percent.
