In celebration of the second anniversary of “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” actor-director Coco Martin is set to bring the hit series to Sydney, Australia, as part of the 2024 Pasko Festival.
The special event will also mark the culmination of The Filipino Channel’s (TFC) anniversary celebrations, giving Martin and his co-stars a chance to connect with their overseas fans and express gratitude for their unwavering support.
“Bilang pagtatapos ng anibersaryo ng TFC, pupunta kami ng Sydney para dalhin ang cast ng ‘Batang Quiapo,’” Martin said. “Ito ang pagkakataon na makapagpasalamat personally sa kanila para sa pagmamahal at pagtangkilik na ginagawa nila sa lahat ng shows ng ABS-CBN. So ito naman ‘yung time na makabawi sa kanila at maparamdam namin kung gaano namin sila kamahal.”
With the series nearing its two-year milestone, Martin hinted that this event will be the beginning of their anniversary celebrations, highlighting the lasting impact of “Batang Quiapo” on viewers both in the Philippines and abroad.
“Dito namin sisimulan ‘yung pagpapasalamat sa dalawang taon ng ‘Batang Quiapo.’ Five years nalang, ‘Probinsyano’ na!” he said, playfully referencing his previous long-running show “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.”
Watch out for the new characters joining “Batang Quiapo.”
The show in Sydney promises a festive reunion with fans, who have been instrumental in the show’s success. (G. Krishnan, abs-cbn)
