Actor Coco Martin said he is dedicating his Movie Actor of the Year award to Christopher de Leon.In an interview, Martin said it is an honor for him to be nominated in the same category as de Leon, who is already a veteran in the entertainment industry.
He, however, refused to be compared to him, saying he is just a newbie in show business.
“Hindi naman. Napakabaguhan ko pa sa industriya para masabing kahilera ko siya dahil pareho kaming nanominate sa Best Actor category. Ganon naman e, kanya-kanyang panlasa ng mga hurado. Nakakatuwa para sa akin kasi nakalusot ako [na manalo]. Sana magkatrabaho pa ulit kami. Pangarap ko yun. Napakagaling at napakabait niyang katrabaho. Nagkatrabaho din kasi kami sa Sa ’yo Lamang,” he said.
Martin also recalled his experience when he got to work with de Leon in the past.
He said he was in awe with how the veteran actor has remained grounded despite his achievements in his career.
“Noong una ngang magkaeksena kami, nilapitan ko siya e. Hindi ako makaarte, kinakabahan ako, nanginginig ako. Sabi ko, ‘Sir, ninenerbyos ako, kaeksena ko kayo e.’ Kasi kailangan ko i-release e. Kapag hindi ko sinabi sa kanya, baka hindi ako makaarte. And then yung sinabi ko na sa kanya at naramdaman kong parang binibigyan niya ako ng suporta, nakaluwag ako, nakahinga ako. Sabi ko nga sana magkatrabaho kami sa soap opera para magkaroon kami ng mahabang bonding,” he said.
Meanwhile, Martin thanked the Philippine Movie Press Club for the recognition that they gave him.
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa PMPC sa karangalan na ibinigay nila sa akin. Napakasaya at napakasuwerte ng pakiramdam ko dahil kasabay nito, nabigyan din ako ng parangal sa isa pang award-giving body. Sana magtuloy-tuloy yung ganitong blessing at sisiguraduhin ko na mas pagbubutihan ko pa ang trabaho ko,” he said.
Martin was hailed as the Movie Actor of The Year in the 27th Star Awards for movies last June 21.
