<p>Coco Martin opened up about his journey as his family&#x27;s breadwinner.</p><p>In an interview with Ogie Diaz, Coco revealed that as his acting career flourished, one of his priorities was providing homes for his siblings.</p><p>&quot;Siguro &#x27;yung isang factor dahil nga wala kaming magulang. Ibig sabihin &#x27;yung magulang namin, hindi sila &#x27;yung tumayong magulang sa amin, walang tatayo kundi ako,&quot; he said.</p><p>The Kapamilya star provided houses to each of his siblings. &quot;Ganun kasi ako bilang kapatid eh, gusto ko lahat nakaayos eh nung lumipat sila dun titira na lang. Inayos ko talaga lahat pati interior,&quot; he relayed.</p><p>Aside from building houses for his siblings, he also provided businesses to them.  </p><p>&quot;Hindi naman lahat pinagpala eh kasi &#x27;yung mga kapatid ko di naman nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Kung meron man ako lang nakapagtapos at &#x27;yung isang kapatid ko, &#x27;yung sister ko. Anong gagawin natin, wala namang oportunidad, wala namang mabibigay na magandang trabaho. &#x27;Yung binibigay ko sa kanila &#x27;yung franchise nung mga ini-endorse ko,&quot; he relayed.</p><div><iframe width="1519" height="569" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/T04hpXgImsQ" title="Coco Martin, ba’t nga ba ayaw nagse-celebrate ng birthday? | Ogie Diaz" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Coco highlighted that he wanted his siblings to have a regular source of income every month through the businesses he set up for them. </p><p>&quot;Sabi ko gusto ko &#x27;yung meron silang security, may peace of mind na kahit wala silang trabaho ngayon sigurado kahit papaano sa buwan-buwan meron silang pambayad ng kuryente, tubig, at tsaka pagkain,&quot; he said.</p><p>Coco&#x27;s generosity extended beyond his family as he also recently launched a business that would help a lot of people. The actor launched his own dishwashing liquid brand called Bida.</p><p>&quot;Siyempre sa mga taong natutulungan natin sa industriya natin siyempre hindi maiiwasan na marami talagang lalapit kasi ang hirap ng buhay eh,&quot; he said. &quot;Kailangan makapag-isip ako ng kahit papaano na makakatulong sa [kanila], na makakapagbigay ng hanapbuhay sa mga tao, sa mga ordinaryong tao.&quot;</p><div><br/></div><blockquote class="instagram-media" data-instgrm-permalink="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCwdhMozdCZ/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" data-instgrm-version="14" style="background:#FFF;border:0;border-radius:3px;box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15);margin:1px;max-width:540px;min-width:326px;padding:0;width:calc(100% - 2px)"><div style="padding:16px"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCwdhMozdCZ/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="background:#FFFFFF;line-height:0;padding:0 0;text-align:center;text-decoration:none;width:100%" target="_blank"><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;align-items:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:40px;margin-right:14px;width:40px"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:100px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:60px"><br/></div></div></div><div style="padding:19% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:block;height:50px;margin:0 auto 12px;width:50px"><br/></div><div style="padding-top:8px"><div style="color:#3897f0;line-height:18px">View this post on Instagram</div></div><div style="padding:12.5% 0"><br/></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:row;margin-bottom:14px;align-items:center"><div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(0px) translateY(7px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;height:12.5px;transform:rotate(-45deg) translateX(3px) translateY(1px);width:12.5px;flex-grow:0;margin-right:14px;margin-left:2px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;height:12.5px;width:12.5px;transform:translateX(9px) translateY(-18px)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:8px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:50%;flex-grow:0;height:20px;width:20px"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:2px solid transparent;border-left:6px solid #f4f4f4;border-bottom:2px solid transparent;transform:translateX(16px) translateY(-4px) rotate(30deg)"><br/></div></div><div style="margin-left:auto"><div style="width:0px;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-right:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(16px)"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;flex-grow:0;height:12px;width:16px;transform:translateY(-4px)"><br/></div><div style="width:0;height:0;border-top:8px solid #F4F4F4;border-left:8px solid transparent;transform:translateY(-4px) translateX(8px)"><br/></div></div></div><div style="display:flex;flex-direction:column;flex-grow:1;justify-content:center;margin-bottom:24px"><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;margin-bottom:6px;width:224px"><br/></div><div style="background-color:#F4F4F4;border-radius:4px;flex-grow:0;height:14px;width:144px"><br/></div></div></a><div style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;margin-bottom:0;margin-top:8px;overflow:hidden;padding:8px 0 7px;text-align:center;text-overflow:ellipsis;white-space:nowrap"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DCwdhMozdCZ/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading" style="color:#c9c8cd;line-height:17px;text-decoration:none" target="_blank">A post shared by Coco Martin PH (@cocomartin_ph)</a></div></div></blockquote><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><p>When he came up with his dishwashing liquid brand, Coco wanted that it serve two purposes.</p><p>&quot;Naisip ko ano &#x27;yung dalawang purpose? Kung ano &#x27;yung makakatulong sa buhay natin sa pang-araw-araw at ano &#x27;yung makakapagbigay tayo ng trabaho pa sa mga tao, sa mga factory. Kaya nagtayo ako ng company na Coco+, ano nga yan eh Community and Consumer plus. Ibig sabihin nung plus kasi dapat ngayon, naniniwala kasi ako na sa hirap ng buhay, &#x27;yung value for money na dapat lahat ngayon ang binibili ng mga tao na hindi lang nakamura sila, dapat alam nila na epektibo pero pakiramdam nila na parang uy may bonus ito ah,&quot; he said.</p>
