PHOTOS: Coco has assembled his newest crew in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo

In the busy place of Quiapo, lives are mixed and friendship is strongly built on a sense of survival, defense, and attachment. Barring the moral aspect, Tanggol (Coco Martin)’s squad represents a bond that has its own allure, making them an endearing element in the story of FPJ's Batang Quiapo. Besides, they are the providers of comic relief.

In FPJ's Batang Quiapo, Coco is accompanied by sidekicks who stick around whether in good times or potentially disastrous situations. Get to know them in these behind-the-scenes photos!

The ‘tropa’ is an interesting mix. There’s Marc “Big Mac” Andaya (as Tanos), a professional basketball player.

Sports enthusiasts are familiar with Sugar Ray “Mammoth” Estroso (playing Bulldog), a professional boxer and champion mixed martial arts fighter. He vlogs as well. Joining the squad is Ryan Nacianceno (aka Dolfo), Coco’s brother, who appeared in several movies in the past.

Don’t let his small stature fool you because Oweng portrayed by social media content creator Renz “Baby Giant” Benzon is a great help to the team.

Theater and character actor Jojit Lorenzo completes the line-up as Enteng, who has many times proven himself a dependable asset to the group.

These are the people adding extra good vibes to Tanggol’s life. Catch them in FPJs Batang Quiapo, weeknights, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z and TV5.
