Primetime King Coco Martin is going full throttle as FPJ’s Batang Quiapo enters its most intense chapter yet. With adrenaline-pumping confrontations and possible major character deaths on the horizon, the hit teleserye marks a dramatic turning point—ushering in the “political era” of Tanggol.
In a live appearance on TV Patrol (June 16), Coco gave fans a behind-the-scenes glimpse from the set, where he was directing a massive action sequence featuring Jake Cuenca, Andrea Brillantes, and McCoy De Leon. Though tight-lipped about the full storyline, Coco confirmed that the coming weeks will be packed with nonstop action and jaw-dropping revelations.
“Wala nang hingahan. Pinaghandaan namin ’to. Lahat ng eksena, pinag-isipan at pinaghirapan namin—sunod-sunod na ang mga pasabog,” Coco shared. “May mga karakter din na unti-unting nawawala.”
A sneak peek shows Tanggol (Coco) in a one-man battle, taking down dozens of enemies in what looks like an abandoned building—just one of many high-octane sequences coming soon.
The momentum continues as FPJ’s Batang Quiapo registered over 11 million combined episode views on Kapamilya Online Live for June 12 and 13, cementing its status as one of the most-watched teleseryes today.
Tanggol’s Next Chapter: From Street Hero to Mayor?
The show recently launched Tanggol’s “political era”, as he begins his campaign for Mayor of Manila under the banner of change as the “Tagapag-Tanggol ng Pagbabago.” A brand-new theme song and poster featuring Coco in a heroic pose signal this major shift in the series arc.

FPJ’s Batang Quiapo is not just a local hit—it’s a global phenomenon. Now airing in 41 countries across Africa under the international title “Gangs of Manila,” the show continues to earn fans worldwide.
