Behind every record-breaking episode of “FPJ's Batang Quiapo” lies a story of grit, determination, and unrelenting passion.

The #FPJBQStarofVenus episode kept viewers on the edge of their seats as Tanggol (Coco Martin)’s squad, together with Primo (Lito Lapid)’s original group, embarked on their first high-stakes mission for their new boss, Don Facundo (Jaime Fabregas). The tension soared as they retrieved diamonds amounting to millions, including the highly coveted 'Star of Venus,' the most valuable of them all.

But what many might not realize is that this episode required just as much dedication off-screen as it did on-screen. The intense happenings, thrilling gunfights, and high-stakes drama that captivated audiences were the result of meticulous preparations and relentless hard work. Every ounce of effort, sweat, and blood poured into this episode made that incredible feat all the more rewarding.

One of the episode’s standout performances came from the sexy and fierce Kim Domingo, who plays the dangerous Madonna. Kim proved she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty when it comes to delivering a thrilling performance.

In between takes, Kim shared some behind-the-scenes stories that highlight just how intense the filming was. She revealed that she did some of the high-risk stunts by herself. “Sobrang intense talaga…,” she recounted, recalling a particularly challenging sequence where Madonna tumbles down a staircase, causing her to drop the attaché case filled with diamonds.

But she understands that incidents like these are just part of the job, and wounds and bruises are like badges of honor. Kim now realizes that learning action is a never-ending process. She also appreciates that the production team provides them with training and workshops, ensuring they’re always prepared to take on the next challenge.

Even seasoned actress Lorna Tolentino aka Amanda didn’t back down from the gunfight-loaded sequences. It certainly helped that Lito, who plays her lover, Primo, in the story, was right by her side, likely guiding her through each action-packed move.

Even though we were holding our breath, worried for their safety, it's still exciting to see Tanggol's ‘tropa’—Enteng (Jojit Lorenzo), Bulldog (Sugar Ray 'Mammoth' Estroso), Tanos (Big Mak Andaya), Dolfo (Ryan Martin), and Oweng (Renz ‘Baby Giant’ Bana)—back in action. This is their first mission again after escaping from the correctional facility with the help of Tanggol and Marcelo's (Nonie Buencamino) men.
