Rhea Manila Santos

With his BL web series Gameboys being available online since May, Kokoy de Santos said he is already expecting people to compare it to the upcoming release of his new six-episode series Oh, Mando! which was filmed even before the pandemic started earlier this year.“Tingin ko para sa akin hindi na kailangan i-compare. Hindi mawawala ito dahil pareho itong BL, ako ito at iba yung kasama ko ngayon. Ibang iba naman eh, imbis na ma-compare eh sana i-appreciate na lang natin. Pero ready naman, wala namang masama eh (laughs),” he shared during the Oh, Mando mediacon earlier this month. Being paired onscreen with Alex Diaz for the first time was also a fun experience for the 22-year-old actor. “Si Alex kasi first time ko makatrabaho at hindi mahirap maging kaibigan at makatrabaho si Alex kasi ma-fi-feel mo na open naman siya sa iyo bilang actor at bilang tao. Doon ko na-appreciate yung kasi bibihira sa amin sa industriya yung magiging open sa ‘yo hindi lang bilang actor kundi sa personal na buhay nakapag-share siya sa akin agad ng mga ilang bagay na hindi naman niya sasabihin ito kung di siya nagtitiwala sa akin,” he said.<a href='https://push.abs-cbn.com/2020/11/6/fresh-scoops/kokoy-de-santos-shares-why-he-is-not-afraid-to-be-189527'>READ: Kokoy de Santos shares why he is not afraid to be typecast in gay roles</a>Known for taking on different roles, Kokoy said he does not discriminate the gender of the characters he gets to play and wants to pave his own unique career path. “Kung mapagbibigyan man, wala naman akong specific na tinatahak, puwedeng may sarili ako, iba rin ako.
