Coco Martin discussed why he pursued entrepreneurship alongside his acting career.In an interview with Karen Davila for her 1ON1 YouTube segment, Coco explained that he wanted to secure a future beyond show business.&quot;Alam ko naman na &#x27;yung trabaho ko hindi itong pang habang buhay. Sabi nga natin, tatanda tayo, malalaos tayo. Ako ang advantages ko, nakapunta ako sa production,&quot; he said. &quot;Kumbaga nagpro-produce ako, ako nag-iisip ng show ko, ako nagco-conceptualize, ako lahat gumagawa.&quot;Coco shared that he realized the importance of branching out, saying, &quot;Hindi pe-pwedeng ako lang kasi mapapagod ako kaya ngayon ang ginagawa ko pumapasok ako ngayon sa mga business.&quot;One of his business ventures is a dishwashing liquid brand under his own company, which he said reflects his connection with the masses.&quot;Kung ako nga... natutulungan ko [ang mga ini-endorse ko], bakit hindi ko gawin ito sa sarili ko? Kaya gumawa ako ng sarili kong product. Nung ginagawa ko siya, sabi ko, gagawin ko &#x27;yung produkto ko kung saan alam kong gusto ako ng tao at kung saan ako malakas,&quot; he pointed out.  The actor turned entrepreneur added: &quot;Kasi ako masa eh. Nagmamahal sa akin lolo, lola, nanay, tita, tito, kaya inisip ko bakit hindi ko sinimulan sa dishwashing liquid.&quot;He affirmed his confidence in the product’s quality. &quot;Ilalagay ko mukha ko [sa product]. Bakit? Ganun ako ka-proud sa produkto ko at ina-assure ko ang mga tao na totoo lahat ng sinasabi ko,&quot; he stated.<div><iframe width="681" height="383" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XKhriSzDR70" title="1ON1: COCO MARTIN On Building His Dream House With Julia!" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div>Coco relayed that he also invested in small businesses. &quot;Kaya ito nung pumasok na ako dito, nakakita pa ako ng ibang opportunity, sumasali ako sa maliliit na [negosyo] na hindi ko kailangan na personally ako &#x27;yung pumunta dun,&quot; he shared.Beyond his own ventures, Coco revealed that he has also become a business mentor to his longtime partner, Julia Montes. They are now partners when it comes to producing shows.&quot;Ngayon ang ginagawa ko kasi kay Juls... di ba kung mapapansin ninyo nandun siya sa <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo">Batang Quiapo</a> ngayon as producer,&quot; he shared. &quot;Ang ginagawa ko kasi lahat ng finances siya. Basta sa creative ako, ako lahat, sa production lahat. &#x27;Pagka lahat ng mga babayaran... [siya] &#x27;yan.&quot;
