Lovi Poe was ecstatic as she marked her first day of filming for the ABS-CBN series adaptation of Fernando Poe Jr.’s “Batang Quiapo,” where she will star alongside actor Coco Martin.
The actress treated fans to her behind-the-scenes moments with Martin through a video shown on her Instagram page on Thursday, Jan. 25. The actors were seen playing a pool game, which Lovi learned with the help of Martin.
“First day high. Unang araw po ng taping namin magkasama ni [Coco Martin]!” she captioned her post. (First day high. This is the first day of Coco Martin and me together on the film set.)
