Jerald Napoles teased that alongside Coco Martin’s signature edge-of-your-seat, action-packed scenes, viewers can also expect plenty of laugh-out-loud comedy in “Sigabo.”“Hindi mabigat sa set dahil sa story. Comedy-action kasi. [Pero] Grabe pa rin action. Kagabi 12 midnight gumugulong si Coco Martin sa hagdanan,” he explained in a presscon held in Quezon City on Thursday, where he was introduced as Viva’s “New Pogi.” According to Napoles, Martin gave the cast, which includes lauded comedians, freedom to throw some ad-libs on set. <div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2026/5/10/jerald-napoles-defends-kim-molina-from-disrespectful-online-remark-her-body-her-choice-0910">Jerald Napoles defends Kim Molina from disrespectful online remark: ‘Her body, her choice’ </a></div>“From direk Coco Martin. Sabi niya sa amin— may kalayaan kayo mag ad-lib paano mapapaganda eksena. Basta pasok sa character, storya. At may logic. Hindi basta basta may punchline,” he reasoned.The “Love, Ngo” actor said he admires how Martin takes on multiple roles for “Sigabo,” praising how hands-on and polished he is in directing, writing, and acting.“Ang sarap niya panuorin magtrabaho. Ngayon lang ako nakakita ng ganoong klaseng artista— kaya mag multitask ng ganong klase sa isang produksyon. Tapos effective. Yung Coco Martin, alam niya gagawin,” he said. Napoles also shared he is grateful for the opportunity to be part of an impressive cast and production.“I always tell Kim masaya ako kasama ako dito,” he said.  “Masaya makasama sa isang Coco Martin Production— matagal show niyan eh. Sabi ko Direk bro, thank you! Kakakasal ko lang. Wag mo muna ako patayin,” he jokingly added. Ahead of “Sigabo,” Napoles will bring his humor in cinemas beginning June 3 for film  “Love, Ngo.” <div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2026/5/9/actors-with-cleft-palates-say-love-ngo-made-them-feel-seen-0708">Actors with cleft palates say &#x27;Love, Ngo&#x27; made them feel seen </a> </div>
