<p>With <em></em><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><em><strong>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong> </em>airing for barely three months, lead actress Lovi Poe shared just how much she admires leading man Coco Martin who is also the director of the show. </p><p>“Kung paano niya i-shoot yung teleseryeng <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo" id="isPasted" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(93, 155, 192);text-decoration:none;user-select:auto;letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)"><em style="box-sizing:border-box"><strong style="box-sizing:border-box">Batang Quiapo</strong></em></a><em>,</em> parang siyang pelikula. Alam mo yung he savors every moment and every actor. Parang he gives everyone a moment to shine. So I’m really grateful na ganun siya.</p><p>“In terms of our relationship, parang I’m very grateful kasi nararamdaman ko yung effort niya para sa aming lahat eh. The fact that he does everything. SIya yung nagdi-direct, siya yung nagsusulat, pero nabibigyan niya ng importansya ang bawat artista.</p><p>“Talagang grateful ako and if there’s any way for me to show that I’m thankful and that’s to give my best. Kaya pag ka-eksena ko siya, I jsut want to have my A game on kasi siya talagang A game all the time. So I want to give that in return,” she shared during the Batang Quiapo presscon held earlier this month.</p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/Crz10RAPlza/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A524028.89999997616%2C%22ls%22%3A523718.89999997616%2C%22le%22%3A523723.89999997616%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="746" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/5/5/coco-martin-reveals-why-everyone-should-watch-fpj-s-batang-quiapo-on-may-8-452"><strong>READ: Coco Martin reveals why everyone should watch ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’ on May 8<br/></strong></a></div><p>With the popular action drama series now entering a new chapter in the show, Lovi couldn’t help but admit that one of her favorite scenes from the series so far was during her character Mokang’s debut.</p><p>This included a dream sequence where she and Coco Martin’s character Tanggol ended up in a romantic kiss.</p><p>Marami kasi akong favorite. Pero gustong gusto ko yung debut kasi nakakakilig yun. Yung level na yun (laughs). Sabi ko hindi dapat ako kiligin pero ako yung kinikilig. Pero there’s also one where nasa Divisoria kami tapos hinabol ko yung snatcher. Isa rin yun sa paborito ko,” she added.</p><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/5/5/mccoy-de-leon-on-working-with-coco-martin-natutuwa-pa-ako-nung-binubugbog-ako-439"><strong>READ: McCoy de Leon on working with Coco Martin: ‘Natutuwa pa ako nung binubugbog ako!’<br/></strong></a></div><p>The kissing scene with Coco was an unscripted one, which Lovi said she did not hesitate to agree to once they advised her on the day of the shoot.</p><p>“Mahirap naman hindi kiligin eh. Mahirap kasi talagang hindi kiligin (laughs). Hindi mo maiiwasan eh.</p><p>“Kasi pag pinapanuod mo pa lang si Coco na nag-di-direct at the same time. Habang ginagawa yung eksena na yun siya pa rin yung naag-di-direct habang nag-ki-kissing scene kami. Makikita mo na after nun siya pa yung mag-ku-cut, siya pa yung magsasabi ng cut. So mahirap na hindi kiligin talaga,” she admitted.  </p><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cr0VBGDg0CF/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A524043.39999997616%2C%22ls%22%3A523718.89999997616%2C%22le%22%3A523723.89999997616%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><a href="https://push.abs-cbn.com/2023/2/9/coco-martin-at-lovi-poe-malapit-nang-makilala-sa-fpj-s-batang-quiapo-push-daily-2238"><strong>WATCH: Coco Martin at Lovi Poe, malapit nang makilala sa FPJ’s Batang Quiapo | PUSH Daily</strong></a></div><p>Lovi said that the best word to describe her latest leading man is that he is authentic.</p><p>“He brings out this authenticity among us as actors. Kaya rin siguro he goes with that technique kasi gusto niya mailabas yung our true selves and to bring out our characters at the same time.</p><p>“Even when we’re on location, he makes sure na yung nakikita niyong shots sa Quiapo or anywhere, ipapakita niya yung authentic Quiapo. Kaya nung first week, shinowcase niya yung things as simple as yung pagkain, yung mga tao. Gusto niya ipakita talaga yung totoo,” she shared.</p><p>During the <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><em><strong>Batang Quiapo</strong></em></a><em><strong></strong> </em>presscon, Lovi also made sure to tell Coco just how grateful she was for all his help with making sure she performed her best onscreen.</p><p>“Coco thank you linabas mo ang different side ko. Nilabas mo ang Mokang side. Kasi lagi niyang sinasabi nung first day namin, tinuturuan niya ako. Sabi niya, ‘Lovi, hindi ganyan. Nakikita ko pa rin, sosyal ka pa rin sa paningin ko!’ Sabi niya, ’Kailangan natin tanggalin yan sa ‘yo. Gawin mo ‘to, yung stance ko, ganyan, ganyan.’ So salamat at binuo mo si Mokang so thankful talaga ako,” she said.</p>
