The dust hasn’t even settled on the latest explosive twists in “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” but whispers from inside the production are already hinting at a move so big it could change the show’s entire dynamic. Sources close to the set claim that the show’s lead star and creative force, Coco Martin, is personally pushing for a massive casting addition—and it’s a name nobody saw coming.

For months, Martin has been stacking the deck, bringing in industry legends and new faces to keep the series at the top of the ratings. But this latest rumored addition isn’t just another cameo; it’s a full-blown reunion that fans have been dreaming of.

The man reportedly at the center of Martin’s new plan is none other than John Prats.

While fans of Martin’s previous epic, “Ang Probinsyano,” know Prats as one of the key figures behind the camera, serving as a co-director, Martin apparently wants to bring his long-time collaborator back to his roots: in front of the camera.

Inside sources claim Martin has been vocal about his belief that Prats isn’t just a skilled director but also a formidable actor whose “big energy” is exactly what the story needs right now. The star reportedly misses seeing Prats act and is determined to craft a significant role just for him.

This isn’t just a wishful rumor. The grapevine suggests that “initial discussions” are already underway about what kind of character Prats would play, and the possibilities are sending viewers into a frenzy of speculation.

Will he be a new, dangerous rival to Tanggol? Or perhaps a surprise new ally who emerges from the shadows?

The most intriguing theories suggest a deeper connection. Fans are speculating that Prats might be cast as an old acquaintance of the formidable Ramon, or perhaps a mysterious figure holding a secret link to Tanggol’s complicated family history.

If the move pushes through, insiders are clear on one thing: this will not be a simple guest appearance. This is being planned as John Prats’s major primetime acting comeback, a role designed to heavily impact the narrative and shift the balance of power in Quiapo. The “Probinsyano” reunion is apparently set, and if Martin gets his way, television is about to get a major shake-up.
