During an interview with Julius Babao for his “Unplugged” YouTube channel, Coco and Julia Montes opened up about the pressures behind their careers and the responsibilities they now share. Their conversation revealed that Coco’s determination to keep working is not simply about personal ambition but also about the people whose livelihoods are connected to their production.
Coco acknowledged that the workload has taken a toll on him. As an actor, director, producer, and creative head, he has been involved in several aspects of the business, including signing checks and overseeing creative decisions.
“Malaking tulong siya (Julia) sa akin dahil nabawasan ang pressure sa buhay ko kasi ako lahat, ako sa creatives, ako pipirma (mga tseke) lahat, kaya after ng Batang Quiapo, sabi ko ‘Nanay (tawag niya sa aktres) seryosohin na natin ito’."

"Ngayon ko naman ang awang-awa sa kanya kasi ako sa bahay tapos na ako sa ginagawa ko (creative) siya may meeting pa siya, nagko-compute pa siya ng mga babayaran, sabi ko nga hindi ko alam kung tama itong pinasok natin,” Coco said.
The responsibilities have also pushed Julia to become more involved behind the scenes. She has taken charge of Coco’s finances, while also learning how to help lessen the burden he carries.
“Marami pa po akong bigas na kakainin pero slowly natutunan ko saka may mga nagtuturo rin naman na tamang taong nakapaligid at kung anuman yung adjust na magagawa ko para makabawas sa isipin niya ginagawa ko po.”
Julia also recalled how different their situation was before. When Coco would come home exhausted, she could only listen and pray for him because she felt unable to directly help with his workload.
“Unlike dati pag darating siya (Coco) pagod na pagod wala akong magawa kundi makinig sa kanya at tanging magagawa ko lang ay ipagdasal siya kasi wala akong matutulong talaga at kaya ngayon ang sarap sa pakiramdam na magkasama na kami at alam na namin kung paano magtutulungan sa isa’t isa at blessed kami ngayon dahil ito na ang senaryo namin,” Julia narrated.
Julia remains concerned about Coco’s health, particularly because he tends to continue working even during his supposed days off. She said she often reminds him that his health could become an even bigger problem if he pushes himself too far.
“Sabi ko, teka lang paano kung magkasakit ka kahit na lagi kong pinapaalala sa kanya, lagi pa rin niyang iniisip maraming tao (umaasa), nag-iisip pa rin ng kuwento para sa trabaho, kung baga nakapa-selfless na tao nito. Hindi yata alam ng mga tao na ganyan siya,” Julia confessed.
After “Batang Quiapo,” the pair eventually took a five-day break and traveled to Spain before proceeding to Singapore for a general check-up. Coco was reportedly healthy after the medical examination.
Coco also admitted that working in the entertainment industry and production business is far from easy. Still, he said the experience has strengthened their relationship as they learned to handle the growing responsibilities together.
“Para ma-handle ang ganitong bagay kasi kami ngayon mahigit 300 ang tao namin ang hinahawakan kasi ang laki ng production (CCM Productions) hindi biro saka wala kaming kakapitan kundi ang isa’t isa saka ‘yung suporta," Coco said.
The interview also touched on the increasingly familiar dynamic surrounding Coco and Julia, particularly after Julius mentioned the terms “mag-asawa” and “marriage” during their conversation. Neither Coco nor Julia corrected the remarks, while the widow of indie actor King Reyes also referred to them as “mag-asawa” when thanking them for their help.
Their onscreen storyline in “Sigabo” has likewise added another layer to the discussion, with Coco’s character claiming to be Julia’s husband while hiding in their home from enemies led by Ronwaldo Martin.
Coco Martin, born Rodel Pacheco Nacianceno, is an acclaimed Filipino actor, director, and producer widely recognized as the "King of Philippine Television". After gaining initial fame as the "Prince of Philippine Independent Films," he achieved monumental mainstream success starring in and directing long-running hit action drama series like FPJ's Ang Probinsyano and FPJ's Batang Quiapo.
In another report, Coco Martin opened up about the painful experiences that shaped his childhood and left him carrying emotional wounds from his family life. He recalled living in fear because of his father’s violent behavior, which was linked to alcohol use at home. The actor also remembered struggling with his speech during high school, a difficulty he associated with the trauma he had experienced. With the help of a teacher, Coco gradually overcame the problem and eventually committed himself to creating a more loving and secure environment for his own family. He now makes a conscious effort to express his affection openly, something he said was difficult for him growing up.
Meanwhile, Coco Martin once again made his position on politics clear, saying he has no plans to pursue a government position despite receiving invitations over the years. Rather than entering public office, the actor said he would rather help people through simple and personal acts of kindness. Coco also recalled turning down an offer to endorse online gấmbling, even when a higher amount was later presented to him. For the actor, maintaining his principles and protecting his integrity remain more important than gaining additional money or recognition.
