"Ang sarap na nand'yan sila sa nagsimula ako hangang sa ngayon sa bagong journey ng buhay ko kaya sobra nagpapasalamat ako," Martin said in an interview in Taguig City on Monday, to express his appreciation for his fans' overwhelming support.

While the seasoned actor brought his A-game to the stream, enthusiastically sharing stories and connecting with viewers online, he admitted he was nervous. 

"Nakakanerbyos ksi ibang mundo. ito kasi live and di ka umaarte. Lahat ng nasa isip mo thoughts mo, nasa puso mo 'yun 'yung lalabas totoong tao makikita sa'yo," he said.

The nerves, however, paid off as within just two hours of launching his venture, Martin had already reached thousands of resellers and customers, helping them save and earn more.

"'Yung matitipid ko dito maaari mapalengke mo pa, mabili mo ng ibang bagay na kailangan mo," the "Batang Quiapo" star said.

Just as Martin worked hard to become an acclaimed actor, producer, and director, he's now determined to succeed in this new challenge as an entrepreneur so he can uplift more Filipinos.

"Lahat gusto ko gawin para mas maparating ito sa mga Pilipino. Ito 'yung first step. Hopefully there will be more products, dito at least alam na namin gagawin," he said.
