Nung tinatanong nila ako kailan ka papasok sa &#x27;Batang Quiapo,&#x27; sabi ko &#x27;pag matandang Quiapo na! Naiiba character ko dito. It&#x27;s not the usual goody-goody character that I’ve been playing since 2009. So it&#x27;s a change.

Ang importante lang sa amin malakas kami. Kung malakas ka pa, malusog ka, nakakapaglakad ka nakaka-memorize ka pa ng lines nakakapagsalita ka ng hindi ka masyado nauutal, then you go on &#x27;coz I do not see myself retiring. For as long as I can continue to work, I&#x27;m working,” Fabregas said.</p><p>Joining Fabregas in the series is rising star Elijah Canlas, who is sporting a new look as he takes on the character of Pablo Caballero, the grandson of Fabregas&#x27; character. </p><p>Canlas expressed his excitement about portraying a villain for the first time. </p><p>“I just entered the cast of Batang Quiapo and this is my look. I&#x27;m gonna be shown this week. Ako si Pablo Caballero, apo ni Tito Jaime Fabregas and &#x27;yung family namin we own a casino empire. Exciting! It&#x27;s something new something challenging, and &#x27;yung process sa &#x27;Batang Quiapo,&#x27; it&#x27;s very different, it&#x27;s not something I&#x27;m used to. It&#x27;s a learning experience and I&#x27;m having fun with it,” Canlas said.</p><p>In addition to his role in &quot;Batang Quiapo,&quot; Canlas is also gearing up for his upcoming movie &quot;Edjop,&quot; where he will play Filipino activist Edgar Jopson.
