They are finally back on set.
Following the postponement of its supposed premiere last March, the entire team of the upcoming ABS-CBN Studios, CCM Film Production, and Dreamscape Entertainment series Coco Martin’s Sigabo has officially resumed.
In a post on their social media page, actor-director and co-producer Coco Martin shared his excitement to finally being back on set with none other than his other half, Kapamilya prime actress Julia Montes.
“Nakaka-excite! Sobrang excited kasi medyo matagal-tagal na rin after Walang Hanggan, Ikaw Lamang, Yamashita Treasure, tapos Probinsyano — pero maikli lang — tapos ito na.”
Sigabo marks their reunion after starring together in 2022 in the final arc of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano and in other top-rated series Walang Hanggan in 2012 and Ikaw Lamang in 2014.
“Ito, finally, ‘yung pagtatambalan namin kaya sobra kaming excited, ninenerbyos, and alam namin na ‘yung nerbyos na ‘yun ay para pagandahin lalo ‘yung show na maibibigay natin sa ating mga Kapamilya sa kanilang mga tahanan gabi-gabi.”
On being hailed as the Primetime King and Queen, Coco and Julia both grounded themselves, with the actress saying “marami pa kaming kakaining bigas, tatrabauhin.”
As for Coco, “Sabi ko nga, kaming dalawa ni Juls, at ang buong team ng CCM, talagang mga hardworker at ‘yung passion binubuhos sa trabaho.”
“Sa pagtatapos ‘ho ng Batang Quiapo, magbubuo po ulit ako ng panibagong telseryeng ihahandog sa mga Pilipino gabi-gabi. Samahan niyo kami sa panibagong yugto na gagawin ko sa aking buhay na ang titulo ay Sigabo (at) ang kasama ko rito ay si Miss Julia Montes,” said the actor-director-producer in a previous interview with ABS-CBN News.
He also teased that Sigabo will be different from past two projects, as it will be a light drama that will follow an episodic narrative with comedians starring alongside them.
“Naghihintay ako ng right project para sa pagsasama namin ni Juls. Talagang hinanda ko ‘to para sa kanya,” and told that the series was tailor-made for them and their current status as a real-life couple.
Initially slated for a March 16 premiere, Coco disclosed that he personally reached out to the management for a short break for the production team, who had just come from the success of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.
At present, there is still no new premiere date for the program.
