One of the country’s most popular and respected actor Coco Martin of “Ang Probinsyano” joined millions of devotees on Saturday’s procession of the Black Nazarene in Quiapo, Manila. Before the highly anticipated procession, Coco Martin attended a Mass at Quiapo Church.
The 34-year-old Coco Martin also attended a Mass at Quiapo Church before the start of the procession and even made a speech before the crowd wherein he shared his devotion to the Black Nazarene image of Jesus Christ.
The popular primetime actor was quoted as saying “‘Pag nagpupunta po ako ng Quiapo, nagdadasal po ako. Sinasabi ko, ‘Mahal na Nazareno, bigyan Niyo lang po sana ako ng trabaho, kahit ano. Kahit hindi na po ako matulog, tatanggapin ko po iyan, basta bigyan Niyo po ako ng maayos na trabaho na mabubuhay ko ang pamilya ko,” he said.
“Noong mga panahon po na iyun, wala pa po sa isip ko na papasukin ko ang mundo ng showbiz at pag-aartista. Siguro andito ako ngayon dahil ang purpose ko ay para ma-inspire ko kayo.” Coco Martin stated.
Coco Martin revealed during previous interviews with ABS-CBN that he grew up going to Quiapo Church with his grandmother and he could not forget the time he was able to touch the Black Nazarene.
The actor also revealed to the public that even now that he is already a big star on national TV, he continues to go to Quiapo Church to pray, express his gratitude and ask for guidance.
“Siyempre ‘pag artista ka imbes na ang focus mo makapagsimba ang mangyayari mapupunta sa akin. Kaya talagang palihim akong nagpupunta doon, minsan nasa sulok lang ako, nasa labas lang ako ng simbahan,” he said.
