Coco Martin: The Asian Persuasion
I don’t know much of Coco Martin but the internet is an expansive resource. All I know is that this cute Filipino is starring in Kinatay. The film is premiering in the Cannes Film Festival.
Here’s a synopsis of the film…
Peping, a criminology student, is recruited by his schoolmate, Abyong, to work as a part-time errand boy for a local syndicate that collects protection fees from various businesses in Manila. The easy money Peping earns is spent mostly on his girlfriend, Cecille, who’s also a student. Peping decides to marry her, but in order to do so he’ll need more money. Abyong contacts Peping to join a “special project” that pays more than normal…
From my understanding, the special project consists of Man on Man. ^_^ I have a few links for your leisure.

coco martin is considered the “independent film king” of the philippines. he has starred to at least 14 movies that are considered non-mainstream types of movies produced and shown in the philippines. he is also considered one of the best actors of his generation in the country. i’m a fan!

So that explains why I have not had the honor yet to watch a movie he stars in. Thanks for sharing more information about Coco.
