‘Ang Probinsyano’: 3 major characters die in a span of a week

MANILA — Three major characters in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” died in a span of a week, including one who had been a part of the long-running series since its 2015 premiere, as seen in its Wednesday telecast.

The episode titled “Dalamhati” confirmed the death of Delfin, portrayed by Jaime Fabregas who was killed in Agila’s clash with the group of Armando (John Estrada).

Delfin had sacrificed himself to buy time for Cardo (Coco Martin) to escape, after Armando’s scheme of turning in Agila was finally exposed, as seen in the July 8 episode.

Armando’s side also suffered a loss, with Samuel, played by Michael Flores, getting stabbed to death by Cardo in the July 13 episode. Samuel had been Cardo’s tormentor during his time taking shelter with Armando, when they still pretended to have Agila’s best interests.

Marco and Flores were part of “Ang Probinsyano” for eight months, or since November 2021, which saw the opening of a new chapter for Cardo’s crime-fighting crusade.

Fabregas, meanwhile, was an original cast member since the 2015 debut of the series on primetime. His character, along with that of the late Susan Roces, Lola Flora, were the last remaining relatives of Cardo — portrayals that would become the dramatic heart and symbol of unwavering love for family in the action-packed series.

Now nearing its seventh year on air, “Ang Probinsyano” is available to watch via Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z, TV5, CineMo, and iWantTFC.
