On December 23, actor-director Coco Martin highlighted how meaningful it was for him and the cast of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo to help out senior citizens.
During the visit of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo cast at the Blessed Family Elderly Care Facility and the National Children’s Hospital in Quezon City, which LionhearTV attended, Martin referred to his grandmother when talking about how fulfilling it was for him to conduct an outreach for senior citizens.
“Lalo na ako, laki ako sa lola eh. Iba ‘yung nararamdaman mo, di ba, iba ‘yung happiness na kahit sa maikling oras eh mapaligaya mo sila, makamusta mo sila. Kaya napaka-meaningful para sa amin nitong ginagawa namin.”
He then considered his grandmother the backbone of his values and hardworking mindset.
“Naku, mula bata ako, talagang siya na ‘yung nag-guide sa akin. At tsaka kung ano man ako ngayon, siya ‘yung nag-guide sa akin, siya ‘yung–siya ang dahilan ng lahat ng ito kaya talaga ‘yung pagpu-pursige ko, ‘yung kahit papaano, patuloy na nangangarap at sa simple pamamaraan nakakatulong tayo sa ating mga katrabaho, sa ating kapwa.”
As for their charity outreach, FPJ’s Batang Quiapo cast members Coco Martin, Lito Lapid, Lorna Tolentino, and Mark Lapid joined their visit at the Blessed Family Elderly Care Facility and the National Children’s Hospital in Quezon City for the Christmas Season.
