MANILA, Philippines — Coco Martin is one proud partner for Julia Montes after he watched her Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) entry "Topakk."
Coco said that Julia outdid him in her action stunts. The actor currently stars in the action-drama show "FPJ's Batang Quiapo."
"Dinaig ako. Sobrang ganda. Ito ang action. Kumbaga, nakaka-miss. Thank you sa 'Topakk' kasi sa December 25, may mapapanood ang mga lalaki, mga barako, may pelikula silang aabangan," Coco said in a report by ABS-CBN reporter MJ Felipe.
"Para sa akin, para siyang nag-upgrade. Para siyang pang-international na talaga. Nakakaproud para kay Direk Richard Somes, kay Arjo, kay Julia, kila Sid (Lucero)," he added.
Lead star Arjo Atayde said that it was his first time to see the film in a different edit for MMFF after the film premiered in different parts of the world, such as the United States, France and Switzerland.
"I'm very happy kasi nga we've been waiting for this day. And ngayon kasama natin 'yung mga friends natin sa industriya and seeing their reactions. And this is a different edit. Kakaiba 'yung edit," he said.
Arjo's wife, Maine, also shared her reactions to the movie.
"This is not his first time to watch it pero siyempre nagugulat pa rin," the host-actress said.
"Topakk" hits Philippine cinemas on December 25.
