While there are some people out there who are still patiently waiting for God to grant the lovelife we've been yearning for, beloved "Coco Martin's Sigabo" main hero Gabo (Coco Martin) apparently didn't have to wait for a very long time.
The very moment that he implored God in the August 20 episode to finally bless him with the woman he would love for the rest of his life, it seemed that his prayer was immediately answered. After saying, "Okay lang, Lord, kung gusto n'yo na siyang ihulog sa akin," a woman literally crashed through the roof of his room and landed right beside him on his bed. Completely caught off guard by what had just happened, Gabo blurted out, "Lord, ang bilis naman!"

Just like her "Sigabo" character Sam, Julia Montes is also considered heaven-sent by Coco, yet more of in a figurative sense. During their exclusive interview with CCM Film Productions, the "Hari ng Aksyon sa Ating Henerasyon" fondly talks about how his reel-and-real-life partner has been a "hulog ng langit" for him.
"Napakalaki talaga ng na-improve ko personally sa buhay ko. Napakarami ng naitulong niya sa akin, lalong-lalo na sa growth ko, sa personalidad ko, sa mga pananaw ko sa buhay," he related.
Working in front of the camera and behind the scenes may have been tough and challenging for both of them, yet Coco shared that the best thing about it is being able to experience their support, teamwork, and love on a deeper level, allowing them to pursue their careers while also nurturing their relationship.
"Hindi naman magiging ganito ang direksyon ng buhay ko kung hindi rin dahil kay Juls eh. Kasi siya 'yong naging daan at siya [ang] naging guide ko," he said, making it hard for Julia to contain her kilig as she watched him talk.
Meanwhile, the Primetime Actress was asked if she and Coco could live in a place similar to Ginintuang Lupa in real life. Julia confidently said that she could, especially when Coco is the person she would be with, believing that any hardship or challenge becomes easier to face when you have your loved one by your side.
"Saka laki rin naman kami sa hirap, hindi naman kami laki sa yaman. Kumbaga lahat naman ng blessing na dumarating sa amin ngayon, pinaghirapan, pinagtrabahuhan, pinag-ipunan," Julia said.
Coco seconds this sentiment, reminding audiences that instead of getting disheartened every time they go through challenges, they should consider themselves fortunate to have experienced them because it is via these struggles that they learn to appreciate genuine happiness and success in life.
