"Blessed" or fortunate. That was how Kapuso actor Kokoy de Santos would describe 2024 when inquired in a press conference held before the Christmas break for the now-airing GMA Prime drama-action series, "Mga Batang Riles."

The year that was saw him as a mainstay of "BBL Gang," as a celebrity participant in "Running Man Philippines," and as a part of the acting ensemble in the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) golden edition entry, "And The Breadwinner Is...".

His work, encompassing preparations, in "Mga Batang Riles" did start last year.

Kokoy had his hands full then and they are still now. Kokoy has a weekend show, "BBL Gang," and a weekday program, "Mga Batang Riles."

"The year (2024) was (really full of) blessings," said he. "If I were to explain (and describe the year that was in one word), it would be 'blessed.'"

"At paano ko po nakakaya (how did I manage the hectic schedule?)," Kokoy asked himself back and acknowledged the help of his manager from Sparkle GMA Artist Center.

His management team is responsible for making sure that Kokoy equally gives time and effort to his projects and commitments.

Part of the latter is taking part in the promotional activity for a TV show or a movie.
