<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</a> stars Miles Ocampo and Ryza Cenon have nothing but good words for actor-director Coco Martin.Miles praised Coco Martin for being a hands-on, multitasking leader. “Naaalala ko, siya pa ‘yung naglalagay ng mga dugo-dugo sa akin… Siya nagba-blocking, siya umaarte, siya nagtuturo ng camera angles, PD na rin siya – all-around talaga.” She can only imagine how exhausted he is juggling all important tasks in a huge production, which is why she’s proud of Coco, who’s been her ‘kuya’ since they first worked together in the drama-heavy film “Sa’Yo Lamang” in 2010.“Kahit hindi kami nagkikita, once na nagkita kami ulit, parang kahapon lang kami last nag-meet.” In past interviews, Coco described Miles as his ‘baby-baby’ that’s why their delicate scene felt awkward but he made sure to protect the younger star. Another trivia: Miles’ mother and Coco were classmates in college. Whenever they get together, he would jestingly tell people, “Kaklase ko Mama niyan dati. Kumokopya nga Mama nito sa’kin, eh.”When asked about working with Coco in this project, Ryza Cenon revealed that Coco remains as passionate and creative as he was in <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano">FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano</a>. He’s still the same Coco who is hands-on and “maalaga” to his talents. Sometimes, he would even say, “Ulitin natin kasi double chin ka,” which Ryza appreciates, “Iba talaga pag artista na tapos direktor kasi alam nila kung ano nafe-feel ng artista, kung anong gustong makita ng mga artista sa screen.”She has nothing but good words for the captain of their ship, in awe of Coco’s unwavering commitment to this project, “Parang hindi siya napapagod.” He juggles everything but never complains or shows negative attitude. In reality, he’s just quiet and focused on his multiple tasks, and he’s so humble that he downplays compliments.“Kahit sabihin mo ‘yung totoo sa kanya na, ‘Direk, ang galing mo,’ mahihiya siya sa’yo. Tapos tahimik lang siya kasi nagfo-focus siya sa kung ano pang next niyang gagawin,” she revealed about the beloved Primetime King.Don’t miss an episode of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</a>, airing weeknights, on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-channel-livestream-12685">Kapamilya Channel</a>, <a href="https://kapamilyaonlinelive.com/">Kapamilya Online Live</a>, and A2Z.
