Despite enjoying success in mainstream media, Martin once again went back to his independent roots, and appeared in the indie film “Kinatay”, for which he earned a Best Actor nomination from FAMAS Awards.
In the early 2010’s Martin’s career continued to flourish and he started to book more lead roles in both film and television. He led the cast of several television shows including “Minsan Lang KitangIibigin”, “WalangHanggan”, “Juan de la Cruz”, and “IkawLamang”.
