Coco Martin recently launched a new business
Kapamilya primetime action star Coco Martin revealed why he chose dishwashing liquid as his business.
Coco is one of the wealthiest actors of his generation. His story is a perfect example of a rags-to-riches story in the entertainment industry. Aside from being an actor, he also ventured into producing which is also part of the business side of showbiz.
Before the end of 2024, Coco formally launched his dishwashing liquid business. This goes to show that he started exploring possibilities outside of showbiz.
In a recent interview, based on the article in The Philippine Star, Coco Martin was asked why he chose dishwashing liquid as a business.
The actor admitted that he was nervous in putting up a business because he knows that it will require most of his time. “Sabi ko sa sarili ko, sa 2025, by January, sisimulan ko na. Pipilitin ko kahit na alam kong nagpro-produce ka, ganyan, ganyan,” he said.
This year, the actor shared that he intends to prepare for the future. Coco is aware that showbiz is not forever and time may come that he will no longer be active in the industry.
“Sabi ko para ‘pag dumating na ang panahon na ‘yun, handa na ako at pinaghandaan ko ‘yun,” he said.
When asked why he chose dishwashing liquid, the actor said that with his showbiz image as an action star, people might be wondering why this kind of product is more associated with women.
Part of his reason was because he experienced being a dishwasher before he became an actor. He also pointed out that he was being practical since this product is being everyday in every household.
“Minsan may nagsasabi sa akin, action star ka. Bakit dishwashing liquid? Honestly, nagpapaka-totoo ako. ‘Yung practical, ‘yung ginagamit ng tao araw-araw. Bakit ko ikakahiya ‘yan e naging dishwasher ako, naging janitor ako, naging waiter ako? Alam ko ‘yung hinahanap ng mga tao sa dishwashing liquid. Coco Martin explained.
He also said that from dishwashing liquid, he might expand to producing laundry soap. Coco pointed out that from a small beginning, hopefully, he will eventually expand to other products.
The Kapamilya actor also teased about a new food business this 2025.
