Coco Martin has featured a lot of celebrities in his past and present teleserye projects
Kapamilya actor-director Coco Martin explained the reason behind deaths in the primetime drama series Batang Quiapo that many viewers did not expect to happen.
Aside from being the lead actor in the action-drama series, Coco is also the director. This was also what happened in his previous series Ang Probinsyano.
In a recent interview, based on the article in ABS-CBN Entertainment, Coco shared why characters in the series would unexpectedly die. Just recently, the deaths of characters Lena (played by Mercedes Cabral) and Noy (played by Lou Veloso)Â shocked the avid viewers.
He explained that this is how the story goes and he does not mind whenever these sudden deaths happen. Coco Martin also stressed that they have a lot of interesting characters.
“‘Yun talaga ‘yung flow ng kwento. Kumbaga, hinog na siya. Gusto ko kahit December o kahit ano ‘yung okasyon gusto ko dire-direcho kasi buo ‘yung kwento eh, kasi ang dami naming interesting characters na dapat bigyan ng kwento eh,” the Kapamilya actor said.
In normal circumstances, most shows would have a slow pace and lighter theme when the holiday season comes. However, this is not the case for Coco’s series.
He also expressed happiness that their ratings are good even this month. “Natutuwa kami kasi ‘yung ratings kahit December, ang ganda ganda nang binibigay sa amin na pagmamahal at suporta ng mga tao,” the actor shared.
Coco Martin also shared that he and his team have already prepared their plans for next year as the show will be celebrating its second anniversary.
The actor said that this meant that they would give their viewers a beautiful story and they worked together to come up with this. He also thanked ABS-CBN, his mother network, and its programs and subsidiaries for helping them in promoting Batang Quiapo.
