Coco Martin And Vice Ganda Not Besties Anymore. Reveal the reason

Coco Martin and Vice Ganda are known to be besties. But it seems that the Metro Manila Film Festival 2017 is starting to get the best of their friendship. Apparently, Coco Martin’s Panday and Vice Ganda’s The Revengers are both included in the first four official MMFF 2017 entries. So what happened? Here’s what we know.

The word “besties” is a reference from Coco Martin and Vica Ganda’s 2015 film, “Beauty and the Bestie.” Before they had big names in showbiz, they were already known to be close friends. Their film became such a but didn’t make it to the MMFF 2016 Magic 8 which became such a controversy. At that time, they were of course on the same side. Now, they star in separate films which automatically make them rivals. But are they also rival in real life?

Coco Martin asks Vice Ganda to Back out

A report by The Philippine Star says Coco Martin asked Vice Ganda to back out of the MMFF 2017. Apparently, “Vice won’t budge.” The report further said Vice told Coco that he’s a long-time MMFF joiner and since his movies always make big money, he considers himself to be the “reyna ng MMFF.”

Vice Ganda and Coco Martin seem to be on different sides of the coin on this one. The report further reveals that the Beauty and the Bestie co-stars are starting to find faults in each other saying, “nagsusumbatan na sila.”

Panday is a character originally played by the late action star Fernando Poe Jr. Coco tells the Inquirer that “Ang Panday” is a modern take on an old story. He said he won’t be playing the same Panday character of FPJ. Coco said, “Mine will continue his legacy. I will inherit his magical sword.”

The report reveals that the cast of the upcoming film are from the hit TV series “Ang Probinsyano,” where Coco currently plays the lead role. Coco promised that his upcoming film, which he co-writes, will be worth the audience’s trip to the cinema.

Vice Ganda’s film “The Revengers,” on the other hand, is a superhero comedy film featuring Daniel Padilla and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach. The cast is already one of the reasons why it is expected to become another hit.

Which one do you think would make it? The Metro Manila Film Festival 2017 happens on December 25. Catch Coco Martin on “Ang Panday” and Vice Ganda on ” The Revengers” and see who wins this year’s MMFF.
