Primetime star Coco Martin expressed gratitude as his action series FPJ’s Batang Quiapo celebrated its third anniversary, drawing viewers nationwide who have followed the story of Tanggol every night.

In plugs released by Dreamscape Entertainment, fans shared messages thanking the show and its lead character for years of action, drama, and inspiration.

“Tatlong taon mo na kaming napapasaya, napapahanga, at napapaiyak sa bawat eksena,” one viewer said. Another added, “Maraming salamat sa patuloy na pagbibigay inspirasyon at saya sa aming lahat.”

Since its debut on television and online, the series has followed Tanggol’s journey from a street-smart friend to a hero, featuring death-defying stunts and plotlines reflecting the lives of everyday Filipinos.

To mark the anniversary, the series opens the week with an action-packed mission. Tanggol and his team face off against the police after a jewelry heist, only to be betrayed by a friend, Enteng (Jojit Lorenzo), who acts under duress to protect his mother from Rigor (John Estrada).

The series will also show Tanggol’s political victory after winning a mayoral election recount in Manila, surpassing his rival Miguelito (Jake Cuenca), promising more suspenseful episodes.
