Martinez, along with Carl Guevarra, joined the cast of Star Magic Presents: Abt Ur Luv, which was revamped to Abt Ur Luv, Ur Lyf 2 in 2007.[3] He played Daniel the romantic interest of Isabelle Abiera's character in Abt Ur Luv Ur Lyf 2[4]—his first TV role in 15 years after his television debut in Ang TV.

When Abt Ur Luv Ur Lyf 2 ended in 2008, he then went to appear in 2 other seasons of Star Magic Presents namely: Astigs in Haay...skul Lyf and Star Magic Presents: Astigs in Luvin' Lyf.[5][6]
