At the grand media conference for FPJ’s Batang Quiapo on February 8, actor Pen Medina dubbed the Kapamilya actor-director Coco Martin as “The New FPJ.”
Medina highlighted the wide-range involvement Martin had in the upcoming Kapamilya action-drama series.
“Parang buong pamilya namin, kinuha na ni Coco, maraming salamat sayo. Ang dami mong pinakiki-alaman eh, pati talent scouting pinasok mo na. Grabe ang laki ng papel, ang laki ng papel sa produksyon na ito, bilang artista, director, producer, talent scout, PR, nag-PR na rin.”
He thanked Martin for casting him and his sons, Karl and Ping Medina, in the series.
“Si Karl anak ko, si Ping kasama rin dito, na ang role ay tatamad-tamad, kung magpalimos ay iba ang side. Makulay ang buhay namin dito lalo na kapag tumindi pa ‘yung ibang mga mangyayaring ma-drama.”
He then dubbed the actor “The New Fernando Poe Jr.”
“Kaya maraming maraming salamat sa Dreamscape, sa ABS-CBN, lalong na sa pinakamamahal nating matulunging bagong FPJ.”
