Pero kasi alam niyo po unang-una na kinokonsidera ko ay &#x27;yung mga taong mawawalan ng trabaho. Kasi kung ako ang tatanungin, gusto ko sana magpahinga muna, mag-isip-isip,&quot; he said. </p><p>&quot;Pero paano &#x27;yung mga katrabaho ko? Ilan &#x27;yung mga taong umaasa sa production, sa ABS-CBN? Ilan &#x27;yung mga taong naghihintay sa &#x27;yo pag alas-otso ng gabi, nakasanayan ka na nila sa kanilang mga tahanan? Ayoko silang malungkot, ayoko silang biguin,&quot; he added.</p><p>Martin&#x27;s past two historic teleseryes, &quot;FPJ&#x27;s Ang Probinsyano&quot; and &quot;FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo,&quot; were both action-drama in genre. </p><p>Will &quot;Sigabo&quot; be in the same lane?</p><p>&quot;Ibang-iba ang character. Ito naman siya, light. Kumbaga, nandoon &#x27;yung comedy, action, drama, and romance. Ibang Coco naman &#x27;yung makikita nila, ibang Julia naman &#x27;yung makikita nila,&quot; he said. </p><p>How did Montes react when the show was offered to her, did she immediately say yes? &quot;Siyempre,&quot; said Martin, with his trademark beaming smile.</p><p>&quot;Naghihintay ako ng right project para sa pagsasama namin ni Julia. Talagang hinanda ko &#x27;to para sa kanya. Si Juls ngayon, pukpukan ang training. Nag-aaral siya ngayon ng sa baril, ng fight, sa motor. Lahat ng makakasama namin dito, nagte-training na,&quot; he said.</p><p>He added: &quot;Inakma namin &#x27;yung kwento na talagang fit para sa amin, sa estado namin ngayon. First time namin magla-light. Kadalasan kami ni Juls, heavy drama kami &#x27;pag nagsama. Pasasayahin naman natin &#x27;yung mga tahanan gabi-gabi.&quot;</p><p>So will we see Martin&#x27;s comedic side in &quot;Sigabo&quot;?  </p><p>&quot;Hindi naman comedian, halos lahat mga comedian. Tapos episodic siya, iba-ibang kwento, iba-ibang mission. Para iba-ibang experience, every week. Every week iba-iba ang guest,&quot; he said. </p><p>More details will be unveiled in the weeks to come as &quot;Sigabo&quot; premieres on March 16.</p><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Y9AlJpAxDVQ?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PpN9ej5swA4?&amp;pp=0gcJCaIKAYcqIYzvautoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/7b8VsoMzACg?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
