Actress Maja Salvador has admitted that she gets tickled pink whenever actor Coco Martin takes care of her during their taping for the ABS-CBN TV series “Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin” (MLKI).
Speaking to Push.com.ph, Salvador said she feels flattered every time Martin goes out of his way just to send her food on the set of MLKI.
“Kahit papaano, kikiligin ka. Siyempre bilang babae, ‘wag ka ng umarte, kikiligin ka rin talaga. Kasi kahit nasa ibang unit siya, magugulat ako magpapadala siya ng food. Kasi ‘di ba sa taping namin, 2 units? Kunwari siya nasa Antipolo, ako near ABS-CBN ang location. Magpapadala bigla iyan ng food. May gano'n siyang ka-sweetan,” she related.
Salvador, however, clarified that she does not want to assume whether Martin is expressing affection toward her or not.
“Ayoko magsalita. Kilala naman natin si Coco, hindi masyadong vocal [sa feelings niya]. Hindi ko sinasabing nanliligaw siya. Ayokong lagyan ng malisya 'yong pagbibigay niya sa akin ng food, kasi baka mamaya hindi na siya magbigay ng food (laughs),” she said.
Salvador also reacted when she was told that she was Martin’s first crush when he was just starting out in show business.
“Ha ha ha. Kung totoo man ‘yon, ‘yon din siguro [ang dahilan] kung bakit madali para sa amin mag-work [at] kaya may kilig ['yong team-up namin]. Kasi sino ba naman ang hindi magkaka-crush kay Coco? Kapag nakikita mo siya mapapansin mo naman na, ‘Puwede 'to si Coco, mabait.’ Siyempre mapapa-isip ka rin,” Salvador explained.
Meanwhile, Salvador said she is grateful to be given the chance to know Martin more as a friend rather than just a co-actor.
“Kapag nagte-taping kami, natutuwa ako kasi mas nakikilala ko ang isang Coco Martin na hindi lang bilang isang mahusay na aktor, kundi pati 'yong kung sino siya sa likod ng camera. Nalaman ko na lola’s boy pala siya. Kunwari, meron lang kaming nakain na cake. Mamaya sasabihin niya gusto daw niya ipatikim sa lola niya. Kapag nakita mo si Coco, meron pala siyang other side na gano'n,” she related.
She also said that she is looking forward to doing more projects with the actor.
“Napakatagal ko itong hinintay. Kilig din naman 'yong ibang nakapareha ko, pero iba kasi ang samahan namin ni Coco. Sa set, [na-discover namin na] pareho kaming grabe 'yong pagmamahal sa pamilya, pareho kami ng pinanggagalingan... Iba 'yong ibinibigay naming effort sa trabaho dahil inaamin ko naman na ’di ako galing sa mayamang pamilya. Madami din akong pinagdaanan nung bata pa ako. So ngayong nandito 'yong opportunity at grabe ang pagtanggap ng tao sa amin, sana mas madami pa kaming projects na gawin together,” said Salvador.
