On December 23, actor-director Coco Martin attributed the success of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo to the team effort of the cast and crew.
During the visit of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo cast at the Blessed Family Elderly Care Facility and the National Children’s Hospital in Quezon City, which LionhearTV attended, Martin shared the secret behind the ratings success of their Kapamilya action drama.
“Alam ninyo, ang sikreto honestly, ‘yung pagsusuportahan at pagmamahalan ng lahat ng bumubuo, ng mga actors at creatives. Kasi, sabi ko nga, noong gumawa ng Ang Probinsyano noon, kami rin ang gumagawa ng Batang Quiapo, kilala na namin ‘yung isa’t-isa ‘yung respetuhan.”
He also highlighted FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’s goal to inspire and entertain Filipino viewers.
“Tsaka para sa amin ginagawa namin ‘to para sa lahat ng mga Kapamilya para makapagbigay ng saya at inspirasyon sa tahanan ng bawat Filipino.”
He then teased what was in store for the Kapamilya action teleserye in 2024.
“Kung panonoorin niyo, halos mag-uumpisa pa lang ‘yung kwento eh. Kumbaga pabunga pa lang eh. Next year, maraming complication, maraming palitan ng mga conflict ‘yung istorya. Kaya ‘yun ang dapat abangan.
“Oo meron, meron, kasi–meron na pero mahirap pang sabihin dahil marami pang inaayos. Pero tulad nga ng sabi namin sa Ang Probinsyano, iikutin din namin ang buong Pilipinas, at i-explore din namin ang ibang bansa para mabigyan pa ng magandang kwento ang mga Pilipino.”
FPJ’s Batang Quiapo cast members Coco Martin, Lito Lapid, Lorna Tolentino, and Mark Lapid joined their visit at the Blessed Family Elderly Care Facility and the National Children’s Hospital in Quezon City as part of their outreach campaign for the Christmas Season.
As for FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, the Kapamilya action series airs from Monday to Friday at 8 PM via Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, iWantTFC, and Kapamilya Online Live on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
