In a group of friends, there’s someone who makes life better through his antics. In Tanggol (Coco Martin)’s squad, the title ‘funny one’ belongs to Bulldog played by Sugar Ray “Mammoth” Estroso. They all might have their unique brand of humor but his is just hilariously snappy and punchier. Plus, he&#x27;s loyal to his friends and family.These might be the reasons why in a recent <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo/articles-news/kapamilya-poll-sino-paborito-sa-tropa-ni-tanggol-19733">Kapamilya Poll </a>where <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/">Entertainment.ABS-CBN.com</a> asked netizens who among Tanggol’s ‘tropa’ is their favorite, <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo/articles-news/mammoth-estroso-aka-bulldog-was-voted-by-netizens-as-their-favorite-member-of-tanggols-squad-19858">Bulldog got 84% of the total votes.</a> Now we&#x27;re also curious to know what he’s like to his squadmates when the cameras are not rolling.Let’s check out his behind-the-scenes photos on the set of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.</a><figure><img alt="Batang Quiapo Mammoth squad" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/06/02/Bulldog-with-co-stars-1.jpg"/></figure>Well, they hang out in a true ‘tambay sa bilyaran’ fashion as their characters do. Mammoth has clearly grew close with his onscreen ‘tropa’ – Enteng (Jojit Lorenzo), Dolfo (Ryan Martin), Tanos (Marc “Big Mac” Andaya), and Oweng (Renz “Baby Giant” Baña). <figure><img alt="Batang Quiapo Mammoth squad" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/06/02/Bulldog-with-co-stars-2.jpg"/></figure>Of course, he’s elated to be Coco Martin’s sidekick. <figure><img alt="Batang Quiapo Mammoth squad" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/06/02/Bulldog-with-co-stars-3.jpg"/></figure>Just a little background, according to<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo/articles-videos/get-to-know-the-other-side-of-mma-fighter-and-fpjs-batang-quiapo-star-mammoth-estroso-19572"> Mammoth in an interview with Bernadette Sembrano,</a> Coco’s team thought of recruiting him into acting after watching one of his MMA fights. In case you didn’t know, he’s a professional MMA fighter, which makes him a perfect fit for action-packed scenes in the series.<figure><img alt="Batang Quiapo Mammoth squad" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/06/02/Bulldog-with-co-stars-4.jpg"/></figure>Moreover, Mammoth jestingly admitted that he was a “basagulero” growing up. He often got into street fights, which is very similar to his character.<figure><img alt="Batang Quiapo Mammoth squad" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/06/02/Bulldog-with-co-stars-5.jpg"/></figure>Although acting is far different from his previous world of Mixed Martial Arts, Mammoth enjoys his new career.
