Sa isang nakagigimbal na rebelasyon na naghatid ng ripples sa Philippine entertainment industry, isang dating stuntman mula sa hit teleserye na FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano ang lumapit upang ilantad ang diumano’y madilim na panig ng lead actor at director nitong si Coco Martin.

Ang stuntman, na humiling ng anonymity dahil sa takot sa paghihiganti, ay inilarawan si Coco Martin bilang isang walang awa at walang pusong pigura sa likod ng mga eksena, isang malaking kaibahan sa kanyang heroic on-screen persona.

Ayon sa stuntman, malayo si Coco Martin sa mabait at mahabagin na pinuno na hinangaan ng mga tagahanga. “Nakikita siya ng mga tao bilang isang mapagbigay at mapagpakumbabang tao na tumutulong sa iba, ngunit sa katotohanan, tinatrato niya ang kanyang koponan na parang mga alipin,” ang sabi ng stuntman. “Wala siyang pasensya, at kung may nangyaring mali sa set, hindi siya nag-atubiling makipagbarilan sa staff at crew.”

Idinetalye ng stuntman ang umano’y malupit na kondisyon sa pagtatrabaho sa ilalim ng pamumuno ni Martin. “May mga araw na magtatrabaho kami ng higit sa 16 na oras nang walang tamang pahinga. Paulit-ulit niya kaming gagawing mapanganib na mga stunt nang walang pag-aalala sa aming kaligtasan. Kung may nagreklamo o nasugatan, magagalit siya sa halip na magpakita ng simpatiya.”

Bagama’t marami ang humanga kay Coco Martin dahil sa kanyang sariling mga stunts, ibinunyag ng insider na marami sa mga ito ay ginawa para magpakitabang sa halip na pahalagahan ang pagsusumikap ng kanyang stunt team. “Pinipilit niyang gumawa ng sarili niyang action scenes, pero kapag nagkamali, sinisisi niya ang mga stuntmen. He never gives credit where it’s due,” pahayag ng source.

Bilang karagdagan sa hinihingi na kapaligiran sa trabaho, sinabi rin ng stuntman na ang saloobin ni Coco Martin sa kanyang mga co-stars ay hindi gaanong palakaibigan. “May mga paborito siya sa set, at kung hindi ka bahagi ng kanyang panloob na bilog, hindi ka papansinin o tratuhin nang hindi patas. Maaari siyang maging lubhang makontrol, at maraming tao ang natatakot na manindigan sa kanya dahil natatakot silang mawalan ng trabaho.”

Sa kabila ng mga paratang na ito, nananatiling isa si Coco Martin sa pinakamamahal na artista sa Pilipinas. Matagal nang pinuri ng mga tagahanga ang kanyang mga gawang kawanggawa at ang kanyang dedikasyon sa pagbibigay-buhay sa mga maaksyong dramang Pilipino. Gayunpaman, ang paghahayag na ito ay nagtataas ng mga tanong tungkol sa katotohanan sa likod ng camera.

Ilang netizens ang nagpahayag ng hindi paniniwala sa mga paratang, habang ang iba naman ay nagpunta sa social media upang ibahagi ang kanilang sariling mga engkwentro sa aktor. Nagkomento ang isang user, “Nakarinig na ako ng mga katulad na kwento noon, ngunit ayaw maniwala ng mga tao dahil nakikita lang nila ang magandang side niya sa TV.” Isinulat ng isa pa, “Kung totoo ito, dapat siyang malantad! Walang dapat tratuhin ng ganoon, kahit gaano pa siya sikat.”

Sa oras ng pagsulat, hindi pa sumasagot si Coco Martin sa mga paratang na ito. Nanatiling tahimik din ang kanyang management team, hindi kinukumpirma o itinatanggi ang mga sinasabi ng stuntman.

Makakaapekto ba ang rebelasyon na ito sa reputasyon ni Coco Martin? O maglalaho ang kontrobersiya bilang isa na namang tsismis sa showbiz? Oras lang ang magsasabi. Isang bagay ang tiyak: ang industriya ng libangan ay muling nayanig ng isang kuwento na nagpapatunay na hindi lahat ay parang sa mundo ng telebisyon.
