BIG MOUTH ang isa pang tawag kay Concert King Martin Nievera dahil sa kanyang pagiging madaldal, pero pagdating sa kanyang lovelife ay nawawala ang pagi­ging blabber niya.

Sa presscon ng upcoming show niyang Big Mouth, Big Heart, Big Night ay inusisa si Martin tungkol dito at ang una niyang sinabi ay The Last Time ni Eric Benet at All of Me ni John Legend ang theme song nila ng kanyang special someone.

Is he in love?

“Oh, yes. Always in love,” mabilis na sagot ni Martin.

“She’s not in showbiz and I’ve been trying so hard not to get her involved in showbiz.

But there is a girl. I’m very much in love. I’m very happy.

“That’s the reason why I don’t talk about it because as we know, the moment you utter the words, the relationship is over.

“It becomes yours, not mine if everything I have belongs to all of us in this room as far as my lovelife is concerned.

“I want to save whatever I can. And kawawa naman the girl. She’s not in showbiz. She doesn’t know what could happen to her.”

Kasama niya ba ang kanyang girlfie?

“She’s here in the restaurant. You can meet her there later, but not on camera.”

Totoo bang galing sa pamilya ng isang Asian royalty ang kanyang non-showbiz nobya?

“Not really. Her mother is, but she’s not,” sey ng Concert King.

Ilang beses nang napa-trouble si Martin dahil sa kanyang BIG MOUTH.

‘Foot in mouth’ ang tawag niya rito.

Gaya nu’ng meron pa siyang sariling TV show noon, na tinawag niyang Sheryl Cruz si Ruffa Gutierrez eh may isyu that time ang dalawa.

Sagot sa kanya ni Ruffa, “Thanks, Gary (Valenciano)!”

Aniya, his big mouth gets him in trouble, but it also gets him a job.

35 years na si Martin sa showbiz at hanggang ngayon ay sobrang sipag niya na parang wala siyang kapaguran.

Totoo bang dahil ito sa maraming tao ang umaasa sa kanya kahit sa Amerika?

“I don’t tire. I don’t get sawa with what I do. I love what I do.

“I’ve always dreamed to be a singer as a kid. So now that I am a singer, I dont want that dream to end.

“So, I’ll keep singing until you dont want it anymore,” bulalas ni Mart, na hindi sinagot nang diretso ang tanong namin.

Ngayong 35 years na siya sa industriya, what matters most now is ma­king a difference in someone’s life. And hopefully, the beginning of another reinvention.

Sa tanong kung how much he is worth now, ang witty answer ng 55-anyos na singer ay, “Is there such a thing?

“In showbiz, you earn and then you spend and wala na, you’re worthless. I’m worthless than I am priceless. But my aim is to be priceless.”

Ang Big Mouth, Big Heart, Big Night ay produced ng Outbox Media ng wifey ni Anthony Ta­berna na si Rossel Velasco-Taberna.

Bale sister company ito ng Ka Tunying’s Cafe at ang biro ni Anthony, ito ang nagpapautang sa kanila kapag kinakapos sila.

Ang beneficiary ng nasabing show ay ang Katutubong Dumagat sa Sitio Apia Bgy. Calawis sa kabundukan ng Antipolo.

Ayon kay Ka Tun­ying, malaki talaga ang puso ni Martin dahil kahit marami itong ginagawa at mataas itong maningil sa iba, nang malaman nito ang kanilang be­neficiaries ay hindi ito. nagdalawang-isip

Ang request lang ng mag-asawa ay may duet si Martin kasama ang kanilang daughter na si Azasia Zoey Taberna.
