Kumbaga alam namin yung hirap talaga.&quot; </p><p>He continued: &quot;Kapag ang isang bagay pinaghirapan mo, laging merong magandang kapalit. At &#x27;yun ang naging magandang kapalit.&quot; </p><p>For the past two years, viewers have been eagerly waiting for the face-off between his character Tanggol and his real father Ramon (played by Christopher de Leon), Rigor (John Estrada), David (Mccoy de Leon) and his mother Marites (Cherry Pie Picache). </p><p>Coco said the timing of the confrontation was perfect as he was about to close Book 1 of the series. </p><p>&quot;Ang tagal hinintay ng mga tao na magkita si Ramon at si Tanggol, kaharap pa sina Rigor, David at Marites. Kumbaga, minarkahan ko talaga. Sabi ko sa pagtatapos ng dalawang taon ng Batang Quiapo, gusto ko remarkable &#x27;yun. Hindi makakalimutan ng mga tao, kaya sinarado ko ang Book 1,&quot; he said. </p><p>Book 2 promises to be more riveting as it focuses on the backstory of Tindeng, played by Charo Santos. </p><p>&quot;Kagabi nga, ang likot ng utak ko. Hindi ako makatulog kasi excited na excited akong magkuwento Kung paano ko tatahiin &#x27;yung bawat character, kung paano mo bibigyan ulit ng bagong kwento &#x27;yung manonood gabi gabi.&quot; </p><p>He added, &quot;Hindi pa nila alam &#x27;yung backstory ni Tindeng. Kung saan nagmula si Tindeng, bakit Tindeng, ano ang kwento ng kabataan niya, ano &#x27;yung totoong pagkatao o buhay ni Marites? Ano yung totoong ugat ni Tanggol? Ang kinaganda pa nito, napapanahon ang kwento natin kasi papasok tayo sa mundo ng politika.&quot; </p><p>Coco candidly shared that he doesn&#x27;t read comments and reactions online, focusing only on the show every  time he gets to watch it on Kapamilya Channel or via TV5. He said he doesn&#x27;t want to influenced or clouded by fan theories, reactions or even objections but wants to tell the story the way he envisions it. </p><p>&quot;Ang pinapakiramdam ko pag nananood ako, &#x27;yung pamilya ko, kung ano &#x27;yung reaction nila lalong lalo na yung lola ko, pag na e-excited at nagtatanong siya sa akin, siya ang pulso ko.&quot;</p><p>&#x27;FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo&#x27; airs weeknights after TVPatrol on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, A2Z and TV5. </p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/celebrities/2025/2/24/-batang-quiapo-hits-12-million-total-episode-views-on-youtube-1121" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&#x27;Batang Quiapo&#x27; hits 12 million total episode views on YouTube</a></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/2025/2/24/-fpj-s-batang-quiapo-breaches-all-time-high-of-1m-concurrent-online-viewers-on-youtube-1740" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">“FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” breaches all-time high of 1M concurrent online viewers on YouTube</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1LEITLeUnQE?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HOhFvjl42OA?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xmq22lm9MjU?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gcOrb22XlCc?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
