Martin Nievera stays loyal to ABS-CBN despite offer from TV5

"I don't know, believe it or not, I'm the most unfaithful person in the world, but when it comes to Channel 2 and the artists and those who made my career, I have a hard time leaving them," explains Martin Nievera about choosing to stay on in ABS-CBN despite an attractive offer from TV5.

"The leading man of concerts."

Ito ang bagong titulo na ibinigay sa local concert king na si Martin Nievera ng Viva Entertainment boss na si Vic del Rosario.

Kaugnay ito ng pre-Valentine concert niya kasama si Sharon Cuneta sa darating na Pebrero 11, ang "Once in a Lifetime."

"I'd like to see myself as 'the leading man of concerts.' Kasi, ang dami ko nang nakakasama—si Sarah [Geronimo], there's Pops [Fernandez] and I, and then Gary [Valenciano] and I," pahayag ni Martin sa panayam ng PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) at iba pang invited media.

Naganap ito sa press conference ng nasabing Valentine concert kanina, Disyembre 6, sa Viva Entertainment Office, sa Pasig City.

Matatandaang nakasama na rin ni Martin ang Popstar Princess na si Sarah noong nakaraang taon sa concert na "What is Love."

Ito ay nagkaroon pa ng ilang repeat sa iba't ibang bahagi ng bansa.

Noong 2010 naman, muli silang nagsama ng dating asawa niya—ang tinaguriang Concert Queen na si Pops—sa isa ring Valentine concert na "One Amore Time."

Taong 2009 naman nang makasama ni Martin ang kaibigan niya at kapwa mang-aawit na si Gary sa concert na "As 1."

Hindi raw alintana ng local concert king kung mabago ang bansag sa kaniya dahil aniya, "It's a lot easier to live that one than 'concert king.'"

Sabi pa niya, "Mahirap ang 'king,' But 'yong leading man...pwedeng [palitan] ang leading man, di ba?

"Lalo na, for instance, kay Sarah, marami siyang leading men. That's why Boss Vic said, 'Why don't we give you a title na 'leading man of all concerts.'"

Ang titulo ng concert nila ni Sharon, ang Once in a Lifetime, ay hango mismo sa kantang ginawa ni Martin na ganoon din ang titulo.

Akma daw ito dahil ang pagsasama nila ni Megastar "only happens once in a lifetime."

"Actually, the tandem, kaming dalawa ni Sharon, of all time, after so many years in the business, ngayon lang kami magsasama sa isang stage.

And --------------------------------Sabihin mo nga sa akin kung sinong singer ang kakanta ng puro libre lang? Kaya nga balik Pinas si Martin kasi na realized ng kanyang producer na wala pala itong pang international quality as a singer...meaning malulugi siya kay Martin! Oh di ba pera ang dahilan?

    pag lumipat si Martin N,,cguradong papalaos siya...halos lahat ng existing stars ngayon ng ABS-CBN ay sikat at ang mga lumipat sa TV5 at GMA7 ay dating sakit na ngayon ay pilit binabangon ang career at kung galing naman GMA7 move to ABS-CBN ay sumisikat,di ba PAOLO?

    its not loyalty, more appropriate is GOOD CAREER MOVE! para sa kanya...madalas kasi syang nagso-show abroad kaya kailangan nya ng medium na aminin man o hindi, TFC ang number 1 sa abroad!

    pag nasa pinas ang trip natin banda, mga sosyal at kilalang mga artists. sorry to say this pero ayaw natin ng mga "kinakanta ng mga kasambahay natin".. pero pag nasa ibang bansa na tayo walang jologs2 na kanta... walang yuck na kanta basta kantang pinoy eh patok yan at ulit2 nating kakantahin sa mga karaoke. im proud pinoy from netherlands. wag na sana natin masyadong isipin kung anong nakaraan or anong channel.. as long as naeentertain nila tayo eh maging masaya na tayo dun.

    number 58,, is it a forecast? hahaha negative forecast.. its choice of the viewers pa rin naman e what they want to watch. whatever type he may be it does not reflect anything at all specially if he is doing his job. surprising isn't it that the person you are referring to be a low class player is holding a good investments up to this date. so my point is hindi naman sya ang pinapanood ng tao to make a forecast based on him that will reflect the downfall of gma-7.. and this is martin's loyalty page not gma vs. abs
