Coco Martin not the dad of ex-fling's son; says he's single 'by choice'

The Philippine Star

MANILA, Philippines- Coco Martin says alleged son with Katherine Luna is not his child.

In an interview with Boy Abunda on “Buzz ng Bayan” Sunday, May 18, Coco revealed that after a DNA Test, the results showed that the boy is not his child.

The child underwent a DNA Test as advised by his manager Biboy Arboleda, after Coco called  the latter about his plan to  get the custody of  the boy.

“Nagsu-shooting ako ng Born To Love You sa Luneta, dinala niya 'yong bata at saka 'yong lola,” Coco recalled.  “Ang ginawa ko, kinausap ko sila. Ang gusto kong mangyari, kumbaga, ibigay ko ang pinaka-best ko sa magiging anak ko.

“Hanggang sa kinausap ko na ang lola na parang kung maaari, kung ibibigay nila sa akin para kahit paano, mabigay ko ang tamang guidance, mabigay ko ang pangangailangan niya.

“And then, sa sobrang excited ko, tinawagan ko ang manager ko, si Mother Bibs na 'Mader,' sabi ko, 'kausap ko ang bata, puwede ko nang makuha ang bata.' Sabi ni Maderbibs, 'parang teka lang, hindi gano'n kadali ‘yan. Kailangang idaan natin sa legal na situwasyon. Kung talagang gusto mo, kausapin natin. Ipa-DNA natin.'”

After the results showing that Coco's  DNA does not match the nine-year-old boy's, Coco said he was disappointed.

“Honestly, nasaktan ako dahil bumalik sa akin ang lahat ng nakaraan,” the “Born to Love You” star said. “Sabi ko nga, lahat ng salita na nakuha ko sa iba’t-ibang tao... pati lola ko, nahihiyang lumabas dahil napaka-iresponsable kong tao. 'Yon ang tingin sa akin ng mga tao.”

But Coco is most worried about the effect of the  DNA result to the child.

“I’m sure, lahat ng kalaro niya, kapag napapanood niya ko sa TV, '‘yan ang Daddy ko.' Parang hindi lang ako [naapektuhan]. Kumpara, ang laking damage na nang nangyari.

“On my part, gusto kong akuin ang bata. Siyempre, wala siyang kasalanan. Hindi ko rin alam kung ano ang puwedeng puntahan. Paano na ngayon, yung pinaka-inaasahan niyang hope, wala pala.”

'Single by choice'

Meanwhile, the Kapamilya actor says he's happy being single and that it  is his choice to remain fancy-free.

“Wala, by choice ko ‘to. Kasi, alam ko, lahat ng ito, mawawala ‘to,” he said with a smile, referring to his showbiz career.

Coco said he wants to concentrate on his career while he gets many projects.

“Hangga’t nandito ko, mag-iipon ako sa pinaka-sagad na makakaya ko. Tapos, ‘pag wala na ‘to, doon ko haharapin ang ibang parte ng buhay ko.”

He also adds at the moment, he can't ask for  anything more.

“Honestly, kasi sabi ko nga, hindi naman ako [naghangad ng] sobra-sobra,” he said. “Mataas ang pangarap ko, pero, para sa akin ngayon, puwede kong sabihin na lahat nasa akin na.”
