Awra Briguela apologized to his mentor Coco Martin after the former took a different career path.
On April 6, via an interview with Petite on YouTube, Awra revealed that Martin had plans for him to become a versatile actor.
“Sorry, kasi may mga bagay siguro ako na nagagawa na hindi niya minsan nagugustuhan. Gusto niya kasi talaga maging aktor talaga ako, yung as in Roderick Paulate na aktor.
“Yung kayang maglalaki, magbakla ganon. Versatile actor ang gusto niya sa akin. Pero hindi yun yung gusto ng puso ko.”
Awra confessed that he wanted to be a performing artist rather than a versatile actor.
“Gusto kong maging performer na artist, na kaya kong um-acting, kaya kong mag-perform. So, yun yung isang bagay na gustong ihingi ng sorry kay Kuya. Kasi ang gusto niya sa akin, maging versatile actor lang ako, and gusto kong maging performer.”
Despite having different preferences, Awra is still grateful to Martin for giving him a showbiz break and mentoring him.
“Nung na-meet ko siya, unang meet ko sa kanya, nakitaan niya agad ako ng potensiyal, kasi kinabukasan taping ko na agad. So, yung pagiging professional ko sa trabaho, yung di ako nali-late, yung sobrang strict ko sa work, lahat yun dahil kay Kuya Coco.
“Thankful ako sa kanya…” Awra shared.
Awra stated that Vice Ganda is his current talent manager.
“Siya na ang nagma-manage sa akin. Pumirma ako sa kanya nung February,” he said.
