A surprising piece of information is stirring up the online community! Many sources say that Coco Martin is considering bringing Katherine Luna, who had a controversial relationship with him, into the cast of the hit movie *FPJ’s Batang Quiapo*. This immediately attracted public attention, especially when there were rumors about the actress’s health condition.
Coco Martin and Katherine Luna have a tumultuous past. Many years ago, the actress claimed that he was the father of her son, causing quite a bit of controversy in the showbiz world. Although the DNA test results later did not confirm the blood relationship, this matter left a deep mark on both of their careers and lives.
Therefore, the rumor that Coco Martin might invite Katherine Luna to participate in *Batang Quiapo* has surprised many people. Some opinions say that this could be an act of altruism from the actor, wanting to help Katherine Luna have a chance to return to the screen.
What is more controversial is Katherine Luna’s health condition. Some rumors say that she has vision problems and this could affect her acting ability. However, until now there has been no official confirmation from Coco Martin or the film crew.
Public opinion immediately divided into two streams of opinion:
– **Some people support** Coco’s decision, thinking that this is an opportunity for Katherine Luna to rebuild her career after a long absence.
– **Other opinions are skeptical**, thinking that the actress may have difficulty participating in an action movie that requires many complex scenes.
Currently, Coco Martin has not officially confirmed this rumor, but fans are still waiting for an official statement. If this really happens, *Batang Quiapo* could be witnessing one of the most unexpected reunions in Philippine showbiz history.
Will Coco Martin really invite Katherine Luna? And if so, will this comeback help her regain her fame or will it only stir up more controversy? The answer is still waiting ahead!
Coco Martin says he felt sad for Katherine Luna’s son
In Boy Abunda’s exclusive interview with Coco Martin on The Buzz this Sunday, the actor answered issues that the public has been looking for answers to for a long time.
Coco first addressed the issue involving him and Superstar Nora Aunor. The two worked together on the movie Padre De Pamilya just this year. But the two reportedly had a misunderstanding because of rumors that the veteran actress owed Coco money.
“We had a great time together until the movie ended, we were still calling, texting, and then May, about 3 weeks ago, or 4 weeks ago, called me saying she had an issue with Ate Guy… That’s why I’m annoyed, do you know the person you’re talking about? Because she’s not good,” Coco said.
The actor denied that Ate Guy owed him money and that he ignored her. “No. I texted Ate Guy, and then I apologized. My text was long. I didn’t know he texted me, 3 times. The problem is, I didn’t receive it. First, I owe the person. He was with me in the movie, he agreed to be with me. I owe that person so much, I can’t ignore him.”
The Ikaw Lamang star will get to the bottom of the issue. “I know he’s sulking with me. I won’t let it be that I’m not clear, I’m not coming clean. Whoever wrote that was trying to ruin him.” On the issue that he has a child with actress Katherine Luna, he told the story from the beginning of how he and Katherine got into a relationship. “It all started, Tito Boy, I made a mistake. You were young, you were impulsive. This is showbiz, fun, full of temptation. Something bad happened and then it all started. We were just together in a movie. We weren’t boyfriends. I said because of our youth, it was all out there, gimmicks and gimmicks, something happened that we didn’t expect. Coco didn’t question Katherine if he was the father of her baby because her first thought was to help her. “When she told me she was pregnant, I didn’t ask, like is this mine? I just said what are we going to do? What do you want me to help you with? Because we’re not in a relationship. Because what else do I have, college, what should I help you with first? Vitamins? What vitamins are there for pregnant women? That’s what I’m thinking, food, she needs food. I don’t have a job, Tito Boy, I’m just a student, I’m just a regular in movies, indie, indie. I don’t know how much I’ll earn. So I helped her as much as I could. When I thought, that’s how we set it up because we don’t have a relationship, I need to stand up for myself, I don’t want my future child to experience what I experienced, no one to guide me but my grandmother because my parents are separated.
“Because she told me she was pregnant, I knew I was. She said in all her interviews that the father of my child was Coco Martin, and at that time I didn’t know all the insults, I used hurtful words. I said I was just starting out, my name is already dirty. People haven’t really seen me yet, who I really am, I’m already broken. Of course when I go out of the house, ‘Oh, you’re pregnant?’ they pull out something that people don’t know is involved, they accuse me of that, I’m doing my responsibility. I tried several times, when she got pregnant, until she was a few months pregnant, she told me a lot. Until she gave birth, I was there by her side. But every time she was interviewed on TV, I wasn’t there, but I was there. As a man, I don’t want to be criticized. I don’t want to defend myself, I shouldn’t defend myself because I know the truth. Until that time came, she gave birth, I tried to do something, every time “I’m doing my part, and along with that, he says hurtful words on TV.”
When Coco had a name, he thought about adopting his alleged child from the actress. But his manager Biboy Arboleda advised him to go through the legal process. “Then it came time when I was shooting Born To Love You in Luneta, the baby arrived and the grandmother, I wanted to give the best to my future child, so I talked to the grandmother if they could give me the right guidance, in any way I could help, to provide for his needs. I was so excited, I called my manager, I said ‘Mother, I talked to the baby, I can have the baby. Mother Bibs told me, ‘Wait a minute, it’s not that easy. We have to go through the legal process. She said if you’re really determined, we won’t talk, let’s do a DNA test first.
“So we talked to the grandmother and she agreed to have the baby’s DNA tested. Negative. ‘The baby is not my child. Honestly, I was hurt because everything from the past came back to me. Didn’t I say, the hurtful words I said to various people’s opinions, didn’t even my grandmother come out because it seemed like I was very irresponsible, that’s how other people saw me. And there’s a point, you also think about the child. Because all his playmates, all his relatives, when he watches me on TV I’m sure, ‘That’s my Daddy.’ It’s not just me, the damage that happened is huge. Of course, on my part, I want to take responsibility for the child. Because it’s not his fault. And I don’t know where to go now, how is he now, the one he was most looking forward to, hope, is gone,” Coco said sadly. Coco also talked about the state of her family, which she is trying to keep together even though her parents have been separated for a long time. She said it’s better that her parents became friends and that they have the opportunity to meet as one family at least.
Coco said she doesn’t have a love life by choice because she wants to save money and concentrate on her work. She says she will have plenty of time for love once she fulfills her life plans. Coco has come a long way in her previous life. Even if she loses her job tomorrow, she can now live a comfortable life.
Coco is very excited about her new movie with Sarah Geronimo, May Be This Time. Sarah has changed a lot, probably because of what she has been going through in life. “She is a woman now,” Coco said.
