Coco Martin opened up about how he and his partner, Julia Montes, divide responsibilities when it comes to managing their businesses.

As producers of Batang Quiapo, Coco shared that he primarily focuses on the creative side of the production, while Julia handles the financial aspects.

"Pagdating sa finances, masasabi ko pagdating sa money matters, si Julia na [pinapa-handle] ko diyan. Kasi sabi ko strength ko is creative eh: directing, writing, ganyan tapos pagma-manage sa production. Pero pagdating sa finances, sa lahat ng babayaran, si Juls na [pinapa-handle] ko para hati kami," he relayed in an interview with Rico Hizon of ANC's Beyond the Exchange. 

He added that dealing with numbers can affect his creative process. "Kasi mahirap eh, 'pag numbers na masakit sa ulo eh... Masisira diskarte ko sa kwento. Siyempre 'pag nakikita ko na bakit ang mahal niyan, ia-analyze ko 'yun na parang huwag na natin siyang kunin ['yung artista], di ko yata kaya. Pero 'pag di ko nakikita, buo ako sa creative.”

Aside from Batang Quiapo, the couple also collaborates on several business ventures. "Ngayon may tinayo akong dishwashing liquid, 'yung Bida, and then may tinayo rin kaming isang negosyo, Take Out, pagkain naman 'yun. Tapos meron kaming mga small business din kami na sinusubukan ngayon kasi sabi ko nga kung kayo partner, dapat talaga magtulungan kayo in all aspect.”

In a recent interview with Karen Davila, Coco discussed why he pursued entrepreneurship alongside his acting career.

The Kapamilya star explained that he wanted to secure a future beyond show business. "Alam ko naman na 'yung trabaho ko hindi itong pang habang buhay. Sabi nga natin, tatanda tayo, malalaos tayo. Ako ang advantages ko, nakapunta ako sa production.”

"Kumbaga nagpro-produce ako, ako nag-iisip ng show ko, ako nagco-conceptualize, ako lahat gumagawa,” he added.

Coco relayed that he realized the importance of branching out, saying, "Hindi pe-pwedeng ako lang kasi mapapagod ako, kaya ngayon ang ginagawa ko pumapasok ako ngayon sa mga business."

Back in November, Coco turned 40 years old. In a recent interview with Bianca Gonzalez on the Paano Ba 'To podcast, Coco shared the lessons that he has learned now that he is in his 40s.

"Ako mas nagiging kahit papaano, kumalma. Mas natuto akong magpalagpas ng mga bagay-bagay. Kasi dati papakialaman mo lahat eh. Talagang 'hindi, ganito yan' ngayon, parang 'sige, okay na.' Honestly, katulad minsan may ise-send sa akin na script, hindi ako gaano ka-happy, pero sasabihin ko nalang ah okay ang ganda. Bakit? Kasi hindi naman lahat mape-perfect mo,” he explained.

He added: "Maari sa tingin mo ito yung maganda pero hindi mo naman masasabi sa panlasa rin ng lahat ng Pilipino. Basta hindi masama, kumbaga sa 1 to 10, seven yan, okay na yan. Kasi ang hirap na ipilipit mo lahat every time. Hindi lahat titirahin mo, hindi lahat aanuhin mo. Basta natututo kang kumalma,” he added.

Coco also shared how he learned to say no in order to also take care of himself.

"Pangalawa, ngayon natututo na ako mag-no. Kasi dati lahat para walang masabi sa'yo, iple-please mo eh. Lahat talaga sige sige okay po kahit na nagsu-suffer ka na. Ngayon sabi ko nga hindi, kumbaga nire-reserve ko na 'to para sa sarili ko,” he shared.

He added: "Ngayon, natuto na ako mag-no. Pag alam ko na kailangan ko na itira sa sarili ko. Natututo ako mag tira sa sarili ko nung 40s na ako."
