After his stint in GMA's 'Zaido: Pulis Pangkalawakan' Raymart Santiago is now back on Primetime television via 'Carlo J. Caparas' Gagambino.' Portraying Dindo, a good natured policeman who will be mentor of Bino and his extraordinary friends, Raymart is quite happy to be back! Text by Loretta G. Ramirez, Photos courtesy of GMA Network and Connie M. Tungul Doing well in the ratings game, the newest Pinoy superhero Gagambino has made an impact on Primetime television. With an all star cast and an engaging plot, it success was inevitable. Part of the notable cast is Raymart Santiago who treats this telefantasya as his comeback show on television. "Oo nga, tapos na ang pahinga, back to work na ulit. Happy naman ako at nakasama ako sa cast ng Gagambino," says the youngest among the famous Santiago brothers. He describes his role as the leader of the newest group of Pinoy super heroes headed by Bino (Dennis Trillo). "Pulis na pamangkin ko si Katrina [Halili]. Mabait akong pulis dito, hanggang sa ma-frame-up dahil may nasagasaang pulitiko, hanggang sa natanggal sa pagkapulis. Hanggang sa ako yung magbubuo ng grupo ng mga superheroes, sina Dennis, Katrina, at iba pa" explains Raymart. He shares that his character doesn't have any powers but does not discount the fact that his role might evolve in the course of the story. Once active in doing action movies, we asked Raymart whether he will have action scenes in this project. "Well, hindi ko pa masasabi kasi hindi pa nakukunan. Actually, three weeks pa lang 'yung nagagawa namin. So, hindi ko pa maikukuwento yung mga action scenes," says Raymart who is also an active Triathlon athlete. Being fit and active, iGMA also asked the actor whether he misses doing action movies. "Oo pero medyo matagal-tagal na rin, nakalimutan ko na 'yung pelikula eh. 'Yung tipong ‘cut!’ tapos ibang anggulo. Pero syempre kung bibigyan ng pagkakataon bakit hindi. Pero ‘yun lang siguro mangangapa uli ako dahil iba na naman ‘yun eh (smiles)." It seems that we will have to wait be a bit longer to see Raymart on the big screen. In the meantime you can catch him, in Gagambino during the Primetime Telebabad block of GMA right after Codename: Asero.
