COCO MARTIN PAYS HOMAGE TO ROOTS WITH NEW BUSINESS VENTURE

IF YOU HAVE BEEN READING THIS SPACE FOR a while, you know I am keen on featuring people, happenings, and anything that could make the entertainment industry a better place. This week, we are giving the spotlight to the Primetime King himself, Coco Martin.

We got an invite from his team weeks back saying that he would have a grand event. First, it was supposed to be in Manila, then the final one was at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.

With Coco's very busy schedule, to say the least, it was not a surprise that he kept on moving the dates. The final schedule was held Nov. 4 and Coco had a motorcade before the program in the evening.

At first, really, I thought that it was so election campaign rally coded. Good thing, we were able to sit down with the superstar in his tent backstage at Ynares and get the answers straight.

I even joked if he was running because of the set-up of the event, but he just laughed it off and told us that he made a liquid detergent for washing the dishes in the kitchen.

Well, okay, I got more amused. Why on Earth did he choose a cleaning material or product as a new venture out of all the offers he got, from running for office to investments?

Coco's answer was simple: It is for the masses.
