Coco Martin A Two Timer: Julia Montes In 'A Moment In Time', Erich Gonzales In 'Juan De La Cruz'

COCO MARTIN’s love team with Julia Montes in “Walang Hanggan” is such a big hit. Does he think viewers will also accept Erich Gonzales as his new leading lady in “Juan de la Cruz” that airs tonight?

“I think so,” he says. “Hindi naman puedeng kami uli ni Julia kasi we also have a movie together, “A Moment in Time”, na Valentine offering ng Star Cinema. Si Erich, nakapareha ko na before in the movie ‘Noy’ at okay naman ang reception sa’min ng tao. This time, I’m sure magugustuhan din ng tao ang tambalan namin kasi andaming kilig moments dito na nakakatuwa talaga. Si Erich kasi rito, matapang, suplada. Ako naman, Batang Quiapo na naka-enkwentro niya. First meeting namin, nainis siya sa’kin. E, si Erich, napakagandang babae. Ako mismo, tinitingnan ko lang siya, kinikilig ako talaga sa kanya.”

Was there ever a time he tried to woo her? “Nagparamdam ako sa kanya noon, pero nabigo ako, e,” he laughs.

Erich butts in at this point. “E kasi, siya naman, dinadaan ang lahat sa biro. Hindi mo alam kung ano yung totoo, seryoso at kung ano yung hindi. Parang nanloloko lang siya.”

But what if Coco becomes more serious in wooing her this time? “May boyfriend na po kong non-showbiz. At saka, pareho kaming ayaw ng karelasyong taga-showbiz.”

“Ngayon, gusto ko na!” says Coco.

But he was already busted before. “Hindi naman sa na-busted ako. Noong makita ko lang na tagilid ako, ako na kusang umiwas. Pero sa ngayon, hindi pa naman tapos ang laban. Mahaba pang ipagsasama namin dito sa ‘Juan de la Cruz’ dahil hanggang June daw ito tatakbo sa ere.”

What can Erich say about this? “Abangan nyo na lang kami as Juan and Rosario in ‘Juan de la Cruz’. Ibang klase talaga ang love story namin dito.”

Won’t her boyfriend get jealous of Coco? “Ay, hindi po. Very supportive siya sa career. Hindi siya seloso.”
