Ynez Veneracion on meeting Coco Martin for the first time: ‘Exceeded all my expectations!’

Ynez Veneracion gushed about meeting Coco Martin for the very first time this month. The sexy actress couldn’t help but share how unforgettable their first encounter was at a recent showbiz gathering.
In her Instagram post last September 18, Ynez wrote, “The night I met Direk Coco Martin for the first time was a memorable experience that exceeded all my expectations.
❤️❤️ As I walked into the room that evening, he greeted me with a genuine smile and a huge hug instantly making me feel at ease. It was a stark contrast to what one might expect from a big-name actor-director.”

Ynez also narrated her observations while seeing Coco interact with his colleagues and friends at the unnamed event.

“Throughout the evening, I observed how he interacted with his co-actors around him. He treated everyone with respect and humility. He listened attentively to their ideas and suggestions, never letting his status as a renowned filmmaker overshadow their voices. What amazed me the most was his humility. He had achieved incredible success in the film industry, yet he remained humble and approachable.❤️”

Before ending her post, Ynez declared Coco a “true gentleman” and explained why his behavior inspired her to be just as humble and kind in life.

“Meeting Direk Coco was a testament to the fact that not all stars are distant and unapproachable. He embodied the qualities of a true gentleman, someone who used his success to uplift and inspire those around him.

That night, I not only met a talented actor/director but also a genuinely nice person. It was a reminder that humility and kindness are qualities that shine brighter than stardom.🤗🤗❤️❤️”

Starting out in showbiz more than two decades ago and starring in various sexy films, Ynez graduated from doing daring roles and transitioned into becoming a capable character actress.

In 2021, Ynez gave birth to her second daughter Jianna Kyler with non-showbiz boyfriend Bryan Julius Recto. Her first daughter Princess Keilah Ynez is her child with Maguindanao Governor Toto Mangudadatu.
