John Arcilla credits the “genius” of Coco Martin for the enduring popularity of their primetime series “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” which is approaching its sixth year.

Aside from portraying the lead character Cardo, Martin is also credited as director Rodel Nacianceno (his real name) of the iconic show.

Speaking with ABS-CBN News, Arcilla described Martin as one of the creative minds behind “Ang Probinsyano,” which recently went on a record-breaking streak in terms online viewership.

“He knows his weakness, and that is his strength. He knows his shortcomings and that’s why he is good. Iyon ang nakikita ko kay Coco,” Arcilla told ABS-CBN News.

“Coco has his own genius. He knows his audience. He knows how to deal with them. Alam niyang kilitiin, at alam niya ang gusto niyang gawin. He has his own genius. That’s how I see him.”
