Vhong Navarro also teased in an Instagram post, “May bagong niluluto…”
According to Coco Martin, the upcoming show’s story will differ from his signature action dramas. “May binubuo akong konsepto with Vhong Navarro. Medyo mabigat. Action, suspense, drama, at saka comedy. Pero sabi ko kasi, iba ang atake nang paggawa ng series, sa ibang platform kesa sa mga teleserye,” he told ABS-CBN News. “Ito mas madugo, mas brutal, mas sagad. Dapat unexpected, dapat first episode pa lang mapakapit mo na agad yung mga viewers. Kaya sabi ko, yung hindi ko nagagawa sa ‘Batang Quiapo’, dito sasagarin namin yan.”
“Alam ko pag nagsama kami, alam ko na yung iisipin ng mga tao, na action-comedy yan. Hindi. Iibahin ko. Iba ang character niya (Vhong). Iba ang storya,” Coco Martin emphasized. While still in development, the actor-director reportedly aims for the project to be available on multiple streaming platforms in the future.
After headlining successful mainstream TV programs and films, Coco Martin is pumped to return to the indie scene. He said, “Ang sarap balikan. Ang tagal kong nag-TV, nag-mainstream movie, ngayon lang ako ‘pag nagkakaroon ng pagkakataon bumabalik ako sa indie films.”

“Ang sarap balikan kasi ito ‘yung time para makapagpasalamat ako kung saan ako nagmula. Sino ‘yung mga taong tumulong sa akin noong nagsisimula ako,” Coco Martin explained.
Coco Martin has experience working with Vhong Navarro’s family, directing his son Yce in Batang Quiapo. Now, the two veterans will finally collaborate on screen in this new show.
