Paulo Avelino Idolizes Coco Martin, Says to be Likened with Coco is an Honor

Walang Hanggan lead star Paulo Avelino was recently named Best Actor by the 35th Gawad Urian for his remarkable performance in the indie film “Ang Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa.” The same movie gave him his first acting award, the Best Supporting Actor trophy from the 2012 PASADO Awards.

“Winning an ‘Urian’ is indeed a huge milestone,” he said. “It has always been a dream to be recognized by such a prestigious award-giving body, but I never thought that God will give me this blessing this early. That is why I am very thankful to Him.”

As TV viewers continue to praise Paulo’s ability as an actor, critics cannot help but compare him with fellow award-winning actor and “Walang Hanggan” co-star Coco Martin. Paulo said that to be likened with Coco is an honor for him. “Coco is one of the greatest actors today; and he will always be one of the artists that I idolize,” he shared.

Unlike the rivalry of their characters in the drama series, Paulo revealed that he and Coco have a good relationship off-cam. He shared, “Coco is great to work with. He is always ready to help his co-actors during our tapings so we’ll have better scenes.”

Meanwhile, like the blossoming showbiz career of Paulo, the story of “Walang Hanggan” continues to get even more exciting now that Daniel (Coco) is accused to be the mastermind of Jane’s (Rita Avila) death. Will the accusation worsen Nathan’s (Paulo) rage against his brother?

Paulo Avelino Continues to Shine in ABS-CBN

Kapamilya leading man Paulo Avelino is thankful for all the blessings he has been receiving since he made the ‘big switch’ to ABS-CBN.

From being named as one of the ‘100 Sexiest Men in the Philippines’ (#5) by Starmometer this year, Paulo is now recognized as a full-fledged actor not only because of his phenomenal role as Nathan in the no. 1 TV program in the Philippines, “Walang Hanggan,” but also after being recognized as the best supporting actor— his first acting award–in the recent 2012 Pasado Awards for the indie film “Sayaw ng Dalawang Kaliwang Paa.”

According to Paulo, his first acting award drives him to improve on his craft even more. “I have to raise the bar higher in terms of acting. With the award, I am more inspired to work harder and prove my worth as an actor,” said Paulo.

Being one of the most sought after leading men in ABS-CBN, Paulo shared that he is so happy with everything that is happening. “I never expected or aimed for popularity. I was already happy that I was given great roles to play,” Paulo said. “But I got to learn fast when I was offered with challenging roles by ABS-CBN—from ‘100 Days to Heaven’ to ‘Wansapanataym’ and ‘Maalaala Mo Kaya.’ These roles served as great preparation for my stint in ‘Walang Hanggan.”

When asked about his ‘secret to success,’ Paulo simply answered: “Hard work and a lot of prayers. Never stop believing, never stop learning, and always stay humble. Of course, I’m very thankful to the support of my network, ABS-CBN.”

Meanwhile, like Paulo’s blooming showbiz career, his character in “Walang Hanggan” continues to move the emotions of its loyal viewers, as Nathan finally shows his true personality in the story. Now that the real identity of Daniel (Coco Martin) is set to be revealed, how will Nathan accept that his greatest rival in Katerina’s (Julia Montes) heart is his own brother? Is this the beginning of a bigger rift between them? Will Nathan’s jealousy worsen his mental condition?

Paulo Avelino and Julia Montes Play on Kapamilya Deal or No Deal this May 12

Walang Hanggan stars Paulo Avelino and Julia Montes try their luck in “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal” this Saturday.

Daniel is not the only person who wants to see Nathan and Katerina fall apart and get bankrupt, but also the Banker of the hit game show “Kapamilya Deal Or No Deal.” This Saturday (May 12), “Banker Daniel” purposely lowers his bank offers to taunt celebrity players, Julia Montes and Paulo Avelino who plays Nathan and Katerina in the leading primetime show, “Walang Hanggan.”

Julia was obviously feeling pressured as she is close to bursting into tears while playing. “I think I’m going to cry, I do not know what will happen. Playing this game is more difficult than taping for a teleserye,” Julia stated. Paulo, however, kept his cool all throughout the game despite Banker’s non-generous offers. Will they choose to open the right briefcases? How will they win the P2 million when the Banker already hates Nathan?

Don’t miss “Kapamilya Deal or No Deal,” hosted by Luis Manzano, this Saturday (May 12), after “TV Patrol Weekend” on ABS-CBN.
