Martin felt the same way and described their chemistry on stage as 'automatic'. "Pag magkasama kami ni Pops, napakadali, it's so easy. It's automatic already. I think the people see that. Nothing is forced, and we don't try to enforce anything on the stage, that we cannot deliver honestly and sincerely," he explained.
