It is said that the quest for
justice, law and order never ends. So it is then that ABS-CBN’s teleserye
adaptation of one Fernando Poe Jr. movie, “Ang Probinsyano,” has been going
non-stop since premiering on the original Kapamilya network in 2015. Not even
ABS-CBN’s channel shutdown in 2020 has stopped the show from telling its
nonstop storyline of country-cop Cardo (Coco Martin) surviving and toppling one
overarching villain after another. “Ang Probinsyano” was also cited by the
entertainment industry as a potential comeback vehicle for actors without any
projects for years. And as the show comes closer to its milestone 1,500th
episode, the production teases a possible “Mega” addition.
According to Inquirer.net, there is a strong possibility that Megastar Sharon
Cuneta will be reactivating her Kapamilya cast status by joining “FPJ’s Ang
Probinsyano” in the near future. It started with Dreamscape Entertainment
dropping a heavy hint on their social media page for a new cast member joining
in well into the teleserye’s 6th anniversary (as of September 2021).
To be perfectly blunt, Dreamscape’s Tuesday November 2 Twitter post, promises
loyal “Probinsyano” viewers that their primetime evenings are “Mega-ganda pa.”

In hindsight, this tease does not
exactly come out of nowhere. Back in August, an Instagram post by Sharon
already stirred speculation of her possible involvement in “Ang Probinsyano.”
Her post contained a photo of star Coco Martin and actress Julia Montes, who
was joining the series as the latest love interest for crusading cop (with
badge or otherwise) Cardo Dalisay. Kapamilya loyalists highly anticipate the
Megastar for what is technically her first teleserye role. Cuneta has thus far
only served as host for ABS-CBN variety and reality shows over the decades. Her
first TV series was the comedy-drama “Madam Chairman” on TV5 in 2013-14.
Following the broadcast halt of
ABS-CBN in 2020, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” soldiered on with other shows from the
network in the pay-cable Kapamilya Channel. It returned to mainstream TV
audiences after TV5 scored a simulcast deal to show several ABS-CBN programming
in their block timeslots. The teleserye is now on its ninth season and fifth “book”
storyline, with Cardo and his fellow special police task force disgraced and hiding
from the suborned authorities controlled by First Lady/drug queen Lily
Cortez-Hidalgo. November 8 will mark 1,500 episodes of “Ang Probinsyano,” with
the determined possibility of going on for many more years.
