MANILA, Philippines - Actor Coco Martin finally reacted to reports saying Miss Universe 4th runner-up Maria Venus Raj admires him.

In an interview during a press conference for ABS-CBN's upcoming series "Idol," Martin was caught by surprise when he heard that the reigning Binibining Pilipinas-Universe has a crush on him.

"Bakit ako? Thank you. Pero parang katangkaran naman ako," Martin said.

Martin admitted that he doesn't know anything about Raj explaining that he's really focused on his work and had no time to watch the 59th Miss Universe pageant aired last Tuesday.

"Hindi ako nanood. Galing kasi ako ng US. Pero bakit naman ako magiging crush noon? Hindi siguro ganoon," the actor said.

Currently, Martin is happily single and busy doing a lot of showbiz projects.

In the interview, Martin also answered reports saying he was offered to do a Hollywood film.

"Kasi every time dati, lalo na kapag lumalaban ako sa abroad, laging may nagpaparinig [na] may offer. Pero ang focus mo, wala naman. Lalo na ngayon dahil busy ka sa paggawa ng soap at pelikula dito eh. Hindi mo na ma-entertain. Minsan masarap mangarap. Pero may gagawin ako ngayong January sa France naman with direk Dante Mendoza," Martin said.

The actor said he's happy that he's being considered to do foreign projects and is being recognized abroad. But right now, he said he's taking time to save money and invest for his future.

"Kasi sabi ko nga bago ako mag-TV, bago ako mag-soap, laban ako ng laban sa international. Hindi naman big deal sa akin everytime na nagpupunta. Siyempre natutuwa ako everytime na umaalis. Siyempre dati puro awards, puro mga recognition. Ngayon nag-iipon naman ako. Ito naman ang chance ko para kahit paano ay makapag-ipon para sa pamilya ko."

The actor shared his plan to build his dream house before the year ends.

"Kasi sabi ko minsan lang ang opportunity na ito. Magpapagawa pa lang po ako baka sa Fairview. Bibili pa lang po [ng lupa]. ['Yong bahay] tama lang. Hindi naman po ako masyadong ambisyoso. Basta 'yong presentable lang," he said.

Love life

Martin who already denied rumors linking him to Erich Gonzales and Kris Aquino, bared that if he’ll ever fall in love again, he will definitely choose a non-showbiz girl.

"Wala akong love life. Anytime naman madali 'yan. At kung saka-sakali man, gusto ko non-showbiz. Mahirap kasi kung sa showbiz. Kumplikado. Alam naman natin ang buhay dito," Martin said.

The actor said that if possible he's just looking for a simple girl who will understand his work as an actor.

Right now, Martin said he has no time for love because of his work.
