Sharon Cuneta’s Kapamilya teleserye debut is finally happening as she joins the star-studded cast of “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” the country’s longest-running action-drama series that recently marked its historic sixth anniversary.
To formally welcome Cuneta into the show, ABS-CBN rolled out the red carpet for her on Tuesday with ABS-CBN COO of broadcast Cory Vidanes, TV production head Laurenti Dyogi, Dreamscape Entertainment head Deo Endrinal, and “Ang Probinsyano” star, director, and creative director Coco Martin in attendance. It was followed by a story conference where Cuneta discussed her upcoming role with Martin and directors Albert Langitan, Kevin de Vela, John Prats and Malu Sevilla.
Dreamscape Entertainment announced the actress’ arrival into “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” on its Twitter page today, Nov. 9. The production company also showed a red-carpet event welcoming Cuneta into the show. “Mapapanood na si Megastar Sharon Cuneta sa unang Kapamilya teleserye niya, ang ‘FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,’” Dreamscape stated.
Sharon has yet to disclose details about her role, but she said during the media conference that it was a “no-brainer” for her to say yes. However, she dropped hints about it. “The role is a bit complicated pero ang layo ng panggagalingan, we have flashbacks.” She shared. Sharon also said that the role is a “balik-loveteam” with Rowell Santiago, who plays President Oscar Hidalgo.
News about Cuneta’s addition to the cast has been one of the most talked about and anticipated by Kapamilya fans, especially since the show has featured hundreds of stars in the last six years. It is also one of the biggest highlights in the show’s anniversary celebration as it continues to deliver quality entertainment and important values and lessons, such as love for family and community, to every Filipino home around the world.
During the first week of November, ABS-CBN has been airing teasers about an actress who will join FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano for its sixth year. Prior to that, there were already reports that Sharon will be doing her first series under ABS-CBN and will be entering the cast of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano. Sharon is expected to enter the lock-in taping of the show anytime soon.
