Another trending episode, another exclusive behind-the-scenes peek! 

“FPJ's Batang Quiapo” delivered another heart-stopping episode on January 8. Viewers witnessed a dramatic pursuit led by Olga (Irma Adlawan), who, together with her henchmen, stormed the hospital where Marites (Cherry Pie Picache) and Tindeng (Charo Santos) were confined.

The chase culminated in a do-or-die duel on the hospital rooftop, where Olga gained the upper hand while Marites’ son, Tanggol (Coco Martin), was on the brink of falling off the building. But Marites found her inner strength, grabbed a gun, and delivered the fatal shot that ended Olga’s reign of terror and revenge.

Ready to see how this action-packed episode was made? Check out these behind-the-scenes reels that reveal secrets from the set of “FPJ's Batang Quiapo”!

Play the video, and you'll see the angas and tapang that our stars, especially lead actor-director Coco, bring to life. One scene shows Tanggol knocking out the bad guys in style, one by one. It’s all so smooth, but off-camera, Coco couldn’t help but crack up as the elevator doors closed on their own.

There’s also a part when Coco tosses a gun at Rod Navarro Jr., who plays Olga’s bodyguard, Dindo. We get a peek behind the scenes and see how they made it look so real—and painful. It’s clear just how much meticulousness goes into making even the smallest stunts seem legit. Even the bit players had to nail their reactions, like the jerk they make when pretending to be hit by a bullet.

And then, there's the rooftop sequence where you can almost feel the danger as the characters seem to teeter dangerously close to the edge. It wasn’t just the actors who were carefully placed to make it look dangerous; the crew paid attention to every detail, from the camera angles to the effects that helped make the scene look as deadly and real as possible.
