A former ABS-CBN cameraman publish a video to express his disappointment towards ‘Ang Probinsiyano’ leading star Coco Martin amid the franchise expiration issue of the said broadcasting network giant.
Journalie Payonan who became the cameraman of Martin in one of his movies narrated his experience with his former company.
He also revealed how Martin allegedly treated his stuntmen and staff.
Payonan claimed he was told by one of his colleagues, Bal Iglesias about the bad attitude of Martin towards his crew.
According to him, Robin Padilla’s treatment to the stuntmen is far better than how Martin managed his crew.
“Yung’ mga stuntmen na pinagsalitaan mo ng hindi maganda, ‘yung grupo ni Tatay Bal Iglesias. Alam mo Coco, maraming problema sa akin na binanggit ni Boy Roque dahil naka trabaho ka niya. Kung anong klaseng ugali mayroon ka? Pati pagbuhos mo sa mga utility. Alam niyo ito mga kababayan, si Robin Padilla, ako natutuwa ako dito kay idol Robin… Minsan na nakasakit ‘yan dahil syempre sparring, makakatama yan, pero makikita mo si Robin na, humihingi siya ng ‘sorry, pasensya ka na, napuruhan ba kita, nasaktan ka ba?’ kasi nangyari eh, trabaho. After later on, parang nilalambing ni Robin ‘yan, maya maya ‘tol pasensya ka na ah, kumbaga pampalubag loob, pampagaan ng kalooban” Payonan said.
“Ikaw, ang nakarating na balita sa akin, kasi maraming nagsusumbong sa akin na stuntmen, minsan nakapanakit ka, napuruhan mo ‘yung tao, anong binitiwan mong salita? Eto base ng kwento ng stuntman sa akin, ang sabi niya (Coco), ‘Pasensiya ka na hindi ako katulad ng isang tao diyan na ‘pag nakapanakit humihingi ng tawad at nag-aabot. Hindi ako ganun’. So anong ibig mong sabihin? Papanindigan mo na ganun ka, well okay lang ‘yun, kita naman eh, nung nag rant ka kita naman eh, basagan ng basagan ng mukha ang sinasabi mo,” he added.
The former cameraman said that Martin should not act arrogantly as many people are admiring him and looking at him as a role model.
Payonan pointed out that if Martin really wanted to become the next Fernando Poe Jr, he should imitate the attitude of the legendary action star.
He also suggested that Martin should stop challenging the critics of ABS-CBN on social media.
“Coco, tama na ‘yan, nakakahiya, isipin mo wala naman akong yaman, ang tanging yaman ko ay prinsipyo at paninindigan, eh ikaw ang yaman mo na, ang lakas mo ng kumita… Tapos ganyan pa ang gagawin mo, mananawagan ka na ‘mga kasama, ipaglaban n’yo ganito’… kami nga hindi mo naipaglaban demonyo ka, batukan kaya kita, tapos maghahamon ka pa,” he said.
Payonan then said that he only has a little respect for Martin because of the news he heard about the actor.
He even claimed that he owned a video of Martin pouring water to his crew.
“Itong si Coco Martin, nako Coco tigilan mo ako, maraming balita ang nakakarating sa’kin, mga pabuhos buhos mo ng tubig sa mga utility mo, may video ako non, kaya lang ang tagal ko ng hinanap, napanood ko ‘yun, wag kang ano Coco,”
“Magbalik tanaw ka kung saan ka galing, ‘yun lang naman… wag mong hintayin na ibang tao ang magpaalala kung saan ka galing, ang sakit non, masasaktan ka lang, ngayon ang daming kumakalat sa social media kung saan ka galing, dapat sa sarili mo nag muni-muni ka muna… timbangin mo lahat, kita mo, ang yaman mo, gwapings ka, pero lahat ‘yon alam mo ang tingin ko ‘sayo, lumiit ang tingin ko ‘sayo,”
Payonan became a cameraman of ABS-CBN in 1996 and narrated that his group filed a complaint against ABS-CBN that reached the Supreme Court.
Last February, Payonan was the one who told the lawmakers about a story on how high ranking officials of the Kapamilya network invited his group to a feast only to be told that they’re all fired.
