No shortcuts here. Stylist Jilla Sara shared that they spent a full week preparing his drifting wardrobe. &quot;We had a week to prepare for all the research, consultation, kung tama ba ang mga gears,&quot; Jilla said. &quot;Lahat ng suot ni Tanggol ay kung ano ang totoong sinusuot kapag nagdi-drift tayo.&quot; </p><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DH-WEeZzCOf/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A10674757.300000012%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><p>For starters, it was a fireproof suit to ensure both the actor&#x27;s safety and added realism. They also had a HANS (Head and Neck Support) device, which is essential in real auto racing as it protects drivers from head and neck injuries during crashes. &quot;At para kahit maalog-alog ka sa loob ng kotse, may protection pa rin,&quot; Jilla explained. Coco also wore a balaclava, a racing helmet, gloves, and proper racing shoes.</p><p>It also helped that the cast included auto enthusiast, race car driver, and drifter Raymond Ronquillo, who plays Raul in the series. &quot;For the preparation of racing gears, racing outfits, we consulted ‘Emon’ of R33 because he&#x27;s very well known for that and he helped us, like, kailangan talaga may pangalan ni Tanggol as Montenegro,&quot; shared Jilla, referring to the embroidered name racers typically have on the lower part of their tracksuits, which only shows how every detail was carefully considered.</p><p>Have you watched this scene from <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo"><strong><u>&quot;FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo?&quot;</u></strong></a> Did you feel Tanggol&#x27;s badass energy in his outfit?</p>
