<p>In the busy place of Quiapo, lives are mixed and friendship is strongly built on a sense of survival, defense, and attachment. Barring the moral aspect, Tanggol (Coco Martin)’s squad represents a bond that has its own allure, making them an endearing element in the story of <strong><u><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><em>FPJs Batang Quiapo</em></a>.</u></strong> Besides, they are the providers of comic relief.</p><p>In the newest Kapamilya series, Coco is accompanied by sidekicks who stick around whether in good times or potentially disastrous situations. Get to know them in these behind-the-scenes photos!</p><div><img alt="Batang Quiapo" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/02/23/Batang-Quiapo-BTS-1.jpg"/></div><div><img alt="Batang Quiapo" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/02/23/Batang-Quiapo-BTS-2.jpg"/></div><div><img alt="Batang Quiapo" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/02/23/Batang-Quiapo-BTS-3.jpg"/></div><p>In <strong><u>FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo’s</u></strong> February 21 episode, the ‘tropa’ went around Quiapo getting creative with their impeccable strategies of snatching wallets and cell phones. Tanggol leads the team but everyone has a role and they usually go in tandems.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2476099"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>The gang is an interesting mix. There’s Marc “Big Mac” Andaya (as Tanos), a professional basketball player. Fans of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano"><em><strong><u>FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano</u></strong></em></a> may also recognize him for his brief role as one of Eddie Garcia’s goons.</p><p>Sports enthusiasts are familiar with Sugar Ray “Mammoth” Estroso (playing Bulldog), a professional boxer and champion mixed martial arts fighter. He vlogs as well. Joining the squad is Ryan Nacianceno (aka Dolfo), Coco’s brother, who appeared in several movies in the past.</p><div><img alt="Batang Quiapo" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/02/23/Batang-Quiapo-BTS-4.jpg"/></div><p>Don’t let his small stature fool you because Oweng portrayed by social media content creator Renz “Baby Giant” Benzon is a great help to the team. He was Tanggol’s buddy at the scene of the crime, hiding inside a bag as he sneakily thieves unsuspecting victims.</p><div><img alt="Batang Quiapo" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/02/23/Batang-Quiapo-BTS-5.jpg"/></div><p>They may be among the most skilled pocket pickers in Quiapo but even their group gets victimized, too. Have you watched the scene where Lucio (Ronnie Lazaro)’s team scammed them by pricing the item they snatched cheaper than its real value? They also lost all the money they stole to a newcomer (Lito Lapid), who, obviously, is more expert than Tanggol. The stranger reunites with Lucio’s clique calling him Supremo. We’ll get to know him more in the coming episodes!</p><div><img alt="Batang Quiapo" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/02/23/Batang-Quiapo-BTS-6.jpg"/></div><p>Meanwhile, apart from his grown-up buddies in various shenanigans and ‘rakets,’ Tanggol has mini kiddie sidekicks added into the mix – and they are so adorable. Those who missed Aaron “Yorme” Sunga’s good vibes-inducing cuteness and wit were elated to see him on the show. He plays a street kid idolizing Tanggol for his big-heartedness. Yup, Tanggol is a ‘mandurukot with a heart.’   </p><div><img alt="Batang Quiapo" src="https://aa1a-dctp-s3-entertainment.s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/updates/batangquiapo/2023/02/23/Batang-Quiapo-BTS-7.jpg"/></div><p>These are the people adding extra good vibes to Tanggol’s life. Catch them in <strong><u><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><em>FPJs Batang Quiapo</em></a>,</u></strong> weeknights, on <strong><u><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-channel-livestream-12685">Kapamilya Channel</a>,</u></strong> <a href="https://kapamilyaonlinelive.com/"><strong><u>Kapamilya Online Live</u></strong></a>, A2Z and TV5.</p><div><em>*All photos credit to cocomartin_ph IG</em></div>
