Martin del Rosario

When I found out that Martin del Rosario was going to attend the Kulintangtang Festival in one of the municipalities of South Cotabato, I immediately contacted ALV Talent Agency (who now handles Martin’s career) and requested from them a one on one exclusive interview with Martin.

I travelled for more than an hour, from one city to another just to have this sit-down video interview. It’s way long over-due. I’ve been wanting to have this opportunity ever since I attended the gala screening of his first movie with Cinema One Originals ‘Dagim’ where he won two acting awards; Breakthrough Perfomance by an Actor at the 8^th Golden Screen Awards and  New Movie Actor of the Year at the 27^th PMPC Star Awards for Movies. 

Martin Miguel, 21, is one of the most underrated stars of ABS-CBN. Though he has proven his brilliance and passion in acting, he is still struggling with the needed spotlight and project. Despite that, he never gave a half-hearted portrayal. With very expressive eyes, he delivered every performance in the past with enough grit and strength. He had a total of 20 shows in ABS-CBN with remarkable performances on ‘Minsan Lang Kitang Iibigin’ with Coco Martin, ‘Pintada’ with Denise Laurel and the recent ‘Juan dela Cruz’ with Shaina Magdayao. He is also one of the young celebrities with the most ‘Maalala Mo Kaya’ episode. Martin also got a nomination from FAMAS for his performance on ‘Amorosa’ and good reviews in his 2 most recent movies, “The Healing’ and ‘Bride for Rent’.

Martin is setting a good example to his co-actors for being able to balance his work and studies. He graduated salutatorian in grade school and second honor in highschool at Lourdes School in Quezon City. Currently he is taking BA Broadcast Communication at the University of the Philippines, Diliman.

In an interview with Ricky Lo on Philippine Star, Martin revealed that he lost his innocence when he was 15 with someone same age as him. I find his answer very honest and sexy!

Controversies about Martin del Rosario’s sexuality has been the talk of social media for the last few months. I saw an article on Yahoo about the rumors effect to his family especially to his mother. It’s very hurting and disturbing. His assurance was the only defense he has and I’m backing that up.

It is just so unfair for this young and nice boy to be harassed with such assumption. Even when I got the chance to actually ask him about it, I didn’t. Not only because he has my love and support but also because I respect him and I know he isn’t. Our online society is full of lies, insecurities and hatred. Why concentrate on breaking hearts and souls when you can be a reason for others to smile.

Martin is a good boy and an exceptional actor. He still has a lot to offer! When I asked him about anything we don't know about him yet, He answered It's up for us to find out!

Oh well, this 20-Minute video will definitely give you the answers. I won’t make this any longer coz I’m very much excited to share to you my conversation with the award winning and humble actor Martin del Rosario. You will love him more after watching!
