On October 27, actress Gladys Reyes joked at how Coco Martin didn’t guest her in ‘FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano’ and ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.’
At the media conference for ‘Black Rider,’ which LionhearTV covered, Reyes first noted her ‘kontrabida’ role in the upcoming Kapuso action series.
“Well alam naman nila, kapag ako ang kontrabida, wala akong daya-daya.”
She then jokingly addressed how she seemingly hasn’t appeared in any of Martin’s highly successful Kapamilya action series.
“Hindi, siguro dahil Coco kasi hindi mo ako ginuest diyan so– ayan Coco, hindi mo ko ginuest diyan, nandito na lang tuloy ako sa kabila. Kaya ano lang, may the best man win.”
She then clarified her close working relationship with the Kapamilya-actor-director, especially after their project, ‘Apag.’
“Hindi ah, pero siyempre, mahal ko si Coco, siyempre.”
She then acknowledged Martin’s commitment to his craft as a producer-director-actor for ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.’
“Kumbaga magpakatotoo tayo, hindi madaling banggain ang Batang Quiapo. Kung papaanong doon din sa Ang Probinsyano. At alam naman natin, napaka-hands on ni Coco, di ba? Sa programang ‘yun, bilang artista, director, producer.”
However, she noted the hardwork the ‘Black Rider’ cast and crew put into their upcoming Kapuso project.
“Kaya naman, nakita ko naman dito sa ‘Black Rider’ grabe din ‘yung hardwork nila. Alam nila, na siyempre ang makakatapat talaga namin ay ‘yung ‘Batang Quiapo.’ Pero siyempre, gusto natin dito ay healthy competition. Sana makita din nila, bigyan din nila kami ng pagkakataon, ang ‘Black Rider’ no, na kung ano ang pwede naming mai-offer sa mga nanonood.”
