Coco Martin will be wearing various hats in his latest action-adventure film “Ang Panday”, which is also one of the entries at the 43rd Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF).
“Ang Panday” is not only an iconic character in Pinoy pop culture but it is also arguably one of most beloved Pinoy comic book heroes of all time as it embodies the ideals of truth and justice as well as the triumph of good over evil.

It should be noted that this is the very first full-length mainstream movie that Martin directed, produced, and starred on all at the same time.

“Mahirap po pala (It was hard)”, Martin mused when asked about his directing debut. Despite the challenges and not having the benefit of formal training in film direction, the Prince of Philippine TV Series used his experience in doing independent films, mainstream films, and TV series on working on the film.

Martin started his career as an actor in indie movies, most notably in the films of Brillante Mendoza, and crossed over to mainstream as he transitioned to television, appearing in a consistent string of ABS-CBN’s top-rating primetime teleseryes as well as to movies under a mammoth film outfit.

“Pangarap ko po talaga maging direktor (I have always dreamed of becoming a director)” he shares. “Kapag gusto mo ang ginagawa mo kahit gaano kahirap ine-enjoy mo ‘yong bawat moment nang ginagawa mo (When you love what you do, despite the challenges, you will enjoy every moment of it).”
Aside from directing the film under his real name Rodel Nacianceno, he was also the one who developed the story of the film with Joel Mercado, which is the very first live-action film adaptation of Ang Panday – the beloved character created by writer Carlo J. Caparas and artist Steve Gan, that was made popular by the late Action King Fernando Poe Jr..

His active involvement as creative consultant of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano greatly forged his skill as a storyteller.

In this 2017 epic comeback of the iconic Pinoy superhero, Martin plays Flavio III – the grandson of the original Panday. His life suddenly turns upside down when he realizes that his bloodline is destined to save humanity from the evil doings of Panday’s immortal evil nemesis Lizardo (Jake Cuenca), who comes back from the world of darkness to once again bring havoc to the human race.
With Flavio III not knowing that his bloodline is the only one capable of destroying Lizardo, he will have to scour different worlds to be able to gain the trust of the mythical power of the legendary sword. And like the original beloved hero, Flavio III gets to meet various characters that will help him become the rightful heir to the revered name Ang Panday.

Conceptualizing the story, Martin had in mind his viewers, especially the younger generation to whom he wanted to introduce the legacy of the late Action King Fernando Poe Jr.

“Sobrang iniba ko po siya, kasi gusto ko ma-appreciate siya ang mga kabataan ngayon at siyempre ng henerasyon ng mga tatay”, he states. “Kasi ang dami ng versions ng ‘Ang Panday’, so ginawa ko parang karugtong siya ng kuwento. Kaya ‘yong Flavio na ginampanan ni FPJ, ako ‘yong apo niya, ‘yon ang bagong kuwento ng ‘Ang Panday’.”

Witness how Flavio III will fulfill his destiny as he transforms from a simple, Tondo-born (an area in Manila known for its bustling community) man to the greatest Filipino hero of all time who will save his family and community from the clutches of the most terrifying evil man has ever known.

“Ang Panday” also stars Philippine Senator Lito Lapid, Eddie Garcia, Michael de Mesa, Gloria Romero, Jacklyn Jose, Dimples Romana, Jeric Raval, Jaime Fabregas, Julio Diaz, Mariel De Leon, Awra Briguela, Dennis Padilla, Carmi Martin, Albert Martinez, Agot Isidro, Ms. International 2017 Kylie Verzosa, Mccoy De Leon, Elisse Joson, and Jhong Hilario among many others. Meantime, teaming up for the first time for this film are CCM Film Productions, Star Cinema, and Viva Films.

Martin as Flavio III will once again stand up for what is good and just as he valiantly champions the plight of the poor and the oppressed in the movie “Ang Panday”.

After bringing Filipino films to mainstream European cinemas via “A Second Chance” and opening 2016 with the grand screening of “Everything About Her,” TFC@theMovies creates history anew as it screens CCM Creatives’ critically acclaimed “Padre de Familia” first in the Middle East and Europe.

TFC@theMovies will bring the widely talked about “Padre de Familia,” directed by Adolf Alix Jr., to mainstream cinemas starting February 18 in the Middle East (in partnership with Gulf Film) and starting February 20 in Europe.

According to ABS-CBN Europe, Middle East and Africa Managing Director Kai Rodriguez, the milestone screening of “Padre de Familia” is part of ABS-CBN’s continuing mission to reach out to global Filipinos. Since 1997, ABS-CBN has been retelling the stories of overseas Filipinos (OFs) on film through its movie production and distribution unit Star Cinema. These films include “Sana Maulit Muli (partly shot in the United States of America)” “Goodbye America (U.S.A.),” “Anak (Hong Kong),” “American Adobo (U.S.A.),” “Caregiver (United Kingdom),” “For the First Time (Greece),” “Milan (Italy),” “Dubai (United Arab Emirates),” “Love Me Again (Australia)” and “In My Life (U.S.).”

ABS-CBN’s international arm TFC then started producing its own films on OFs with “A Mother’s Story” in 2012 and just last year, 2015, with “EDSA Woolworth” through its brand TFC@theMovies.

Rodriguez said: “TFC does not only provide the platform for relevant news and world-class entertainment for Filipinos in different parts of the world. It also provides the avenues - specifically films - that will retell their stories, let the audience learn from their struggles and inspire all of us with their successes outside the homeland.”
In the tradition of these films, “Padre de Familia” is also about an OF, specifically of Noel (Coco Martin), who took over the reins when his father Ben (Joel Torre) left the family and his responsibility as head of the family. While he was in Malaysia, Noel thinks that his mother Aida (Nora Aunor), as the one expected to provide guidance to the family, is performing her role until the harsh reality that she too has her own needs, sets in.
“Padre de Familia” is also the first team-up of the Superstar and the Box Office King plus Primetime King. Both have been, time and again, compared for their humble beginnings, expressive eyes and superb acting. Some industry observers have even called Martin “the male Nora Aunor.”

With their impressive body of work, Aunor and Martin are expected to deliver memorable performances as a mother and son who will bring the OF audience to a journey of life, love and forgiveness. In the end, the question remains – who is truly worthy of being called “Padre de Pamilya?”
Catch the international screening of “Padre de Pamilya,” co-produced by Martin, on February 18 in United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman and on February 20 in United Kingdom and February 21 in Italy and France.

We will be reminded that we need to assess ourselves in determining whether we are willing to change for the person whom we love or to remain the same and simply be true to ourselves."

Coco on the other hand says that the movie taught him about the many forms of love, "Love has so many levels. Love and the concept of the future greatly affect each other.

Juan Dela Cruz is the Teleserye that my kids always watch before they go to bed. After JDC then lights off, that's the sign that they are going to sleep because my eldest son have school early in the morning.

Now, that Juan Dela Cruz is about to end, my kids frowned at the moment that I told them that just in a few weeks they are no longer watch the teleserye. For now, they are enjoy watching the said Teleserye.


Before the ending, I am fortunate to interview Coco Martin the lead star of Juan Dela Cruz. He shared his experiences, lessons and the challenges in the Teleserye.

Mr. Coco Martin is very thankful that JDC changed him into a better actor and more responsible Filipino citizen. According to him, he will miss the cast of Juan Dela Cruz because all of them treat each other as a true family. Coco really enjoy doing the Teleserye.


"Because of the show and our advocacy projects, I do not only delight people through acting. I also get the chance to get to know, bond and help our viewers who are in need. It's a different kind of joy when people, especially the youth, tell me that I inspire them," explained Coco who actively participate in several "Juan Fun School Day" activities, which provided school supplies to the less fortunate students in different parts of the country.


There are still a lot of revelation that all of us should watch our for in the last two weeks of the show. My kids will definitely see the last few episodes how Juan Dela Cruz fights for his life.
