Before he became one of the biggest stars in Philippine television, Coco Martin was simply Rodel Pacheco Nacianceno — a young man who believed in hard work over shortcuts, and in dreams over comfort.
He studied at Jose Abad Santos Memorial School (JASMS) from 1989 to 1999, where he finished both elementary and high school. Sa mga panahong iyon, unti-unti niyang hinubog ang disiplina at tibay ng loob na kakailanganin niya sa totoong buhay.
Pagkatapos ng high school, nag-enroll siya sa National College of Business and Arts (NCBA) sa Quezon City, kung saan kinuha niya ang BS in Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) at nagtapos noong 2003. Pero hindi naging madali ang kolehiyo. Para makapag-aral at mabuhay, nagtrabaho si Coco bilang janitor, waiter, at flyer distributor — anumang marangal na trabaho, basta’t makausad sa buhay.
Pagkaraan ng kolehiyo, mas lalo pa niyang pinatibay ang kanyang karakter. Nagpunta siya sa Canada at nagtrabaho bilang janitor sa isang bingo parlor sa Alberta. Diploma sa kamay, pero may pagpapakumbaba sa puso — hindi siya nahiyang magsimula sa ibaba, dahil alam niyang bawat hakbang ay may patutunguhan.
Only after years of struggle did he finally try acting — at doon nagsimula ang lahat. Mula sa maliliit na roles, unti-unti niyang nakuha ang respeto ng industriya, hanggang tuluyang marating ang rurok ng tagumpay bilang Primetime King na minahal ng sambayanang Pilipino.
A Reminder for All of Us
Coco Martin’s life proves one thing:
Success is not about where you start — it’s about how strong you stand when life gets hard.
Your current job does not define your future.
Your struggles do not cancel your dreams.
And no effort is ever wasted when done with faith and perseverance.
From cleaning floors to ruling primetime, Coco Martin didn’t just reach the top — he earned it.
At ang kwento niya ay paalala sa ating lahat:
Kung hindi ka susuko, may araw ka rin. Padayon. ✨
