The Christmas season used to be one of the most exciting times for Pinoy moviegoers as everyone flocks to cinemas to catch the Metro Manila Film Festival. In 2014, Kris Aquino and Coco Martin joined forces in their entry, the horror film “Feng Shui,” which Coco specifically requested to Kris.

Coco dropped by Gandang Gabi Vice to promote the film. Starting with a little catching up with his best friend Vice Ganda, Coco mentioned that he’s been busy year-round but of course he’s grateful to have ended the year with so much blessings.

“Feng Shui” was Coco’s first MMMFF entry. Asked why he chose horror instead of his usual genre, which is drama, Coco said he watched the first “Feng Shui” film and became an instant fan.

“Ten years before, napanood ko ‘yung ‘Feng Shui’ ni Direk Chito at saka ni Ms. Kris. Sabi ko, parang ngayon lang ‘ata ako makakapanood ng horror movie na glossy, makulay. Feeling ko hindi ako matatakot,” he recalled.

He continued, “That time, mag-isa lang ako nanonood sa bahay. N’ung pinanood ko na siya, sabi ko, ‘Hindi ko ‘ata kaya.’ Binuksan ko ‘yung ilaw. Tapos hindi ko na siya nakalimutan.”

“Kaya noong nagkaroon ako ng chance na makausap si Ate Kris. Sabi ko, ‘Ate Kris, gawin naman natin ‘yung Feng Shui,’” Coco revealed.
