Martin Del Rosario Tackles New Role In New Kapuso Reboot

Count on Martin del Rosario’s acting brilliance to breathe life to a new role in GMA-7’s remake of the 1987 flick, Pinulot Ka Lang Sa Lupa, which originally starred Lorna Tolentino, Gabby Concepcion and Maricel Soriano.

For this year’s reboot, the new Kapuso TV drama finds Martin sharing top billing alongside stars Benjamin Alves, Julie Anne San Jose, LJ Reyes and Jean Garcia, where he plays Arthur “Kiko” Villaraza.

“I think they wanted to give the plot a different twist,” Martin reveals.

“Kasi in the original plot, it’s the usual triangle. They thought it would be more interesting to see someone else adding tension to that equation. That’s me.”

“I will play Santina’s (Julie Ann) best friend who will fall for her in the process, but she just sees me as just a friend, especially when Ephraim (Benjamin) comes into the picture. I’ll play a fighter here. I will fight for Santina in the course of the story.”
