On September 27, Kapuso star Kristoffer Martin maintained his attitude to be not threatened by seeing new stars on GMA Network.
At the media conference for his single Di Ba? with the press, including LionhearTV, Martin said he felt happier seeing more artists under GMA Network.
“Actually hindi po, actually natutuwa pa nga po ako. Parang sabi nga nila, the more the merrier. Hindi sabi ko nga, si GMA Network po, hindi siya nagkukulang sa pagbibigay, pagdi-distribute ng shows sa mga artist nila.”
He then reacted to people claiming he fell back to singing instead of pursuing his acting career.
“Like ako, may ginagawa po ako, ito po kung sasabihin na nagiging fall back ko po ang singing, no, hindi po, matagal na rin po kasing naka-plano ‘yung gagawin namin po. Na-delay lang po ng na-delay because of the pandemic. Dapat po talaga sunod-sunod ‘yung paglabas ng single ko.”
Finally, he declared that he does not feel threatened about having more artists under GMA Network.
“Hindi po ako parang nate-threaten, bakit ako mate-threaten kasi hindi po eh. Hindi ko siya maisip. I still have work, sabi ko nga, I’ll focus more on myself, na ide-develop ko ‘yung sarili ko mas gagalingan ko hindi para manglamang ng ibang tao, kasi nandito ako hindi naman para manglamang ng tao, hindi para magpasikat, nandito ako kasi mahal ko ‘yung craft ko, nandito ako kasi gusto ko umarte, nandito ako kasi gusto ko kumanta, hindi dahil nandito ako kasi gusto ko sumikat.”
Martin started his showbiz career in 2007 when he joined ABS-CBN’s Little Big Superstar.
He then starred in various Kapuso series after transferring to GMA Network in 2010.Â
Some of the series he worked on are Munting Heredera, Pahiram ng Sandali, Kakambal ni Eliana and Kahit Nasaan Ka Man.
He returns to his musical roots with the single Di Ba? under GMA Music.
