Cherry Pie Picache On Coco Martin: "I'm so proud of him"

Manila, Philippines — In a stunning and emotional revelation, veteran actress Cherry Pie Picache has vowed to pursue justice following the sudden and tragic death of her longtime friend and fellow actor, Dante Rivero — and shockingly, Coco Martin’s name is now being mentioned in connection with the case.

While no formal charges have been filed, multiple sources close to the family say that Cherry Pie is “deeply disturbed” by recent information that allegedly points to a behind-the-scenes conflict involving Rivero’s last major project — one that included Coco Martin as director and lead star.

💔 A Death That Raised Questions

Dante Rivero’s passing was initially reported as due to natural causes — complications from a long-standing health condition. But in a cryptic interview earlier this week, Cherry Pie hinted that something more may have happened in the days leading up to his death.

“He was tired, yes… but there were things that happened that shouldn’t have,” she said.
“I won’t stop until I get answers.”

Those close to the veteran actress say she believes Dante was under immense emotional stress during the final weeks of filming his last TV series — a show reportedly helmed by Coco Martin.

😱 Coco Martin: Under Scrutiny?

While no direct accusations have been made, rumors suggest that a disagreement or “incident” on set may have contributed to Rivero’s declining health.

Some sources claim the veteran actor felt disrespected, while others hint at creative tensions and grueling schedules that may have pushed him too far.

“Dante was old school. He was respectful, but he also had pride,” said a co-star.
“There were moments on set that really hurt him.”

As of now, Coco Martin has not issued any statement, but insiders say he is “aware” that the issue is being talked about behind the scenes and is preparing a formal response if needed.

💬 Cherry Pie: “Hindi Pwedeng Manahimik”

Cherry Pie’s words have ignited a wave of online support:

“Kung may mali, may pananagutan. Dante deserved better,” she posted on her Instagram story.
“Tahimik siya. Ako hindi.”

The actress, known for her fierce advocacy and vocal stance on human rights and justice, has reportedly begun consulting legal advisers and is considering pushing for a formal inquiry into Dante’s final days.
