MANILA -- Coco Martin is willing to help his former girlfriend Katherine Luna, who in the past claimed that he is the the father of her child.

According to veteran entertainment writer Ogie Diaz, Martin said he is willing to include her in the cast of his top-rating series, "Batang Quiapo," as well as help her with her eye surgery. 

Reading Martin's message in his vlog, Diaz said: "Sabi nga ni Coco, naaawa raw siya kay Katherine at gusto ko siyang tulungan. Nakulong pala siya. Gusto ko sanang mapaopera ang mga mata niya para makapagtrabaho ulit siya. Sabihin mo, kukunin ko siya sa 'Batang Quiapo' kahit hindi pa ayos ang mata niya. Para magkaroon siya agad ng trabaho at mas tuloy niyang maayos ang kanyang buhay para sa mga bata." 

"Pero sana maipangako niya sa akin na aayusin niya ang buhay niya at hindi na babalik sa dating bisyo.  Puwede ako maghanap kung saan niya puwedeng ipaopera ang mata niya kung papayayag siya."

Martin, who is currently in a relationship with actress Julia Montes, said that he has already forgiven Luna. 

"Pakisabi, napatawad ko na siya at kalimutan na namin 'yun. Ang importante 'yung ngayon. Gusto ko siyang matulungang makabalik muli sa trabaho para sa panibagong buhay niya," Diaz said, quoting the actor. 

In a recent vlog of Julius Babao, Luna finally clarified that Martin is not the father of her child, and hopes that the actor will forgive her someday.

Martin addressed the paternity issue back in May 2014 through a DNA test.

"Ayun kinausap namin 'yung lola and pumayag na ipa-DNA 'yung bata. Negative. Di ko anak 'yung bata," the country's "Primetime King" said in a previous interview.
