The 'Rise Up Stronger' co-host is here to stay in GMA Network.

GMA's powerhouse performers Denise Barbacena and Sheemee Buenaobra and "The Charmers" Migs Villasis, Kimson Tan, Levince Sotto, Gab Yabut, and Sebastian Pajarillo also signed as Kapuso artists.

Martin, meanwhile, joins Patricia Tumulak, Rain Matienzo, Luane Dy, and Chef Jose Sarasola in the Kapuso network's roster of talented hosts.

Several of Martin's celebrity friends and acquaintances wasted no time congratulating him for the milestone.

Among those who tip their hat to Martin include Myrtle Sarrosa, Gretchen Ho, Roxie Baeyens, Migs Bustos, Bea Benedicto, and Dingdong Dantes.

A seasoned sportscaster and analyst, Martin was tapped by the Kapuso network to co-host the programs Rise Up Stronger: The Road to NCAA Season 96 and Rise Up Stronger: NCAA Season 96 on GTV.

Both programs were for the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which signed a partnership with GMA Network to broadcast its games.

Martin, along with Rise Up Stronger co-host and GMA artist Sophia Senoron, also hosted the league's star-studded season-opening ceremony held on June 13.
