This exciting partnership promises to deliver thrilling cinematic experiences that will captivate and exhilarate movie fans everywhere.
During a press conference at Marco Polo Ortigas in Pasig City recently, the partnership revealed that Coco will star in two big projects: "On The Job: Maghari" and "Maypagasa: The Battles of Andres Bonifacio."
Coco said it was a dream come true to collaborate with Erik and Dondon. The visionary actor recalled how their partnership came about.
"Noong napanood ko yung 'OTJ: Buybust,' sabi ko sino ang artista na hindi mangangarap na makagawa ng ganitong proyekto at makatrabaho sila Direk Erik Matti and Sir Dondon Monteverde. Ni-require ko talaga noon yung production staff ko na panoorin ang 'Buybust.' (When I watched 'OTJ Buybust,' I said, 'What artist wouldn't dream of doing a project like this and working with Director Erik Matti and Sir Dondon Monteverde?' I actually required my production staff to watch 'Buybust.')
"Nag-abang talaga ako na sana mapansin nila ako. Pero hindi nila ako tinatawagan hanggang gumawa na sila ng 'OTJ 2.' Pero dumating na talaga sa sarili ko na sabi ko siguro hindi pa oras. (I was really hoping they would notice me. But they didn't call me until they made 'OTJ 2.' But it really dawned on me that maybe it's not time yet.)"
"Sabi ko siguro sa panlasa nila Direk Erik and Sir Dondon hindi pa ako enough. Tahimik lang ako. Kung hindi talaga nila ako nakikitaan ng potential ako na lang ang gagawa ng proyekto na ginagawa rin nila. (I said maybe I'm not good enough for Direk Erik and Sir Dondon's taste. I just keep quiet. If they really don't see potential in me, I'll just do similar projects they're doing.)"
