Coco Martin Defends Maja Salvador

Coco Martin was quick to defend Maja Salvador against recent reports accusing her of being a playgirl. In fact, he said that it’s easy to see why she has a flock of admirers. “Nagkasama na kami una pa lang sa Nagsimula Sa Puso. The more na tumatagal ang pagkakakilala namin sa isa’t isa, the more na nagiging close kami. May time nga minsan pinapakain niya kami sa bahay niya or yung mommy niya nagpupunta sa set para magdala ng food sa amin. Kaya nga sabi ko, kung marami man nali-link sa kanya, dapat lang, kasi napakaganda at napakabait niya,” said Coco in an interview with Push.com.ph during the Star Awards for Movies last June 22.

When asked if it’s true that he’s one of Maja’s current suitors, Coco explained that it’s not yet the right time for him to pursue her off cam. As it is, he refused to take advantage of their growing friendship on the set of their current soap, Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin. “Eh kasi napakabait naman ni Maj. Sabi ko nga ‘pag nasa taping, wala din ‘yan ginawa kundi magpakain sa set. Kaya minsan pinapadalhan ko din siya ng food kahit nasa ibang unit ako at hindi kami magkaeksena. Siyempre bilang katrabaho niya at leading man niya, dapat suklian ko naman yung mga bagay na yun.”

There’s no denying the fact that the two are kindred spirits given their similar humble beginnings and how it drives them to make the best out of their showbiz career. “Actually, pinag-uusapan namin yung mga ganong bagay. Minsan nagte-text ako sa kanya kahit walang specific reason. Nagpapasalamat ako sa support niya and then sa pagiging mabait niyang katrabaho. Nakakatuwa kasi para siyang lalakeng ako. Nakikita ko ang sarili ko sa kanya—yung pagiging humble niya, pagiging masipag niya at pagiging totoo.”

But Coco insisted that it’s too early for him to say if he is considering courting Maja for real. “Sa ngayon, ayoko magsalita kasi baka mabigyan ng kulay. Pero sa nakikita ko, isa siya sa mga babaeng hinahangaan ko.”
