Kapamilya actor Coco Martin shared his dream for his long-time girlfriend Julia Montes.

In a video uploaded by Coco Martin – CCM Film Productions on YouTube, the “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” star said he wanted Montes to complete a college degree.

“Ang pangarap ko sa kanya ay maka-graduate pa rin siya ng college, yung dahan-dahan lang. Ako na bahala sa pagtatrabaho. Basta gusto ko siya ay matupad niya ang dreams niya,” Martin said.

(My dream for her is that the she will still be able to graduate from college. I will take care of the work. I just want her to fulfill her dreams.)

“Actually mayroon pa ngang pagkakataon na kapag si Juls wala sa teleserye, walang pelikula  na ginagawa, ang ginagawa ko ay pinag-aaral ko siya,” the actor shared.

(Actually there were times that if Juls is not doing a teleserye or a film, what I do is I send her to school.)

Martin added that he wanted Montes to have all her earnings.

“Ang gusto ko lahat nang pinagtatrabahuhan niya kinikita niya gusto ko sa kanya. Gusto ko mapagsilbihan sila. Gusto ko maibigay mo ‘yung pangarap ng lola mo, ng pamilya mo para sa kanila,” Martin said.

“Kasi ako kaya ko na yung sarili ko eh. Kumbaga ako na ang bahala sa iyo, arbor na kita. Kasi lalo na bilang lalaki, ako yon, responsibilidad ko yon. Pero ikaw gusto ko lahat ng ipon mo, lahat ng kikitain mo gusto ko sa iyo ‘yan at sa pamilya mo ‘yan.”

(What I want is for her to have all the earnings from everything she works for. I want to serve her.  I want you to fulfill the dream of your grandmother, of your family.  Because I can already take care of myself. In other words, I’ll take care of you, I’ll support you. As a man, that’s my responsibility. But you, I want all your savings, everything you earn, I want you and your family to have that.)

In the interview, Montes described her boyfriend Martin as her best friend.

“Sa lahat ng bagay parang kung ano lang yung iniisip ko at pinapangarap ko more than ‘yung support na ibinibinigay niya. Kaya totoo ‘yung ang sarap sa pakiramdam na makahanap ka ng best friend mo, mayroon kang kasama, may mahihingahan ka, may makakausap ka, yun siya sa akin. Ang suwerte ko lalo na at siya ang best friend ko,” Montes said.

(In everything, it feels like whatever I think and dream of he gives more of the support I need. That’s why it’s true that it feels so good to find your best friend, someone you have with you, someone you can open up to, someone you can talk to—that’s what he is to me. I’m so lucky, especially because he is my best friend.)

In May 2023, Martin finally confirmed that he and Montes were in a 12-year relationship. The actress cited their faith as an important part of their relationship.

Currently, Martin is busy with the hit action drama “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” while Montes stars in the series “Saving Grace” and hardcore action film “Topakk.”
