Synopsis

Follow the journey of the twins Ador and Cardo (both played by Coco Martin), who were separated from each other because of financial reasons, even as they followed the path of being police officers.

Ador is a prominent and respected CIDG Police Official in Manila with a loving family as his support. Cardo, on the other hand, loves the solitude of the mountains in the province of Botolan as a SAF Trooper. Their lives take a sudden turn when Ador gets himself entangled in a syndicate after being betrayed by one of his own colleagues, resulting in his death. To conceal this fact, Cardo was ordered to take over Ador's life and finish the mission his brother left behind. He will also be forced to pretend to his brother's family and friends, and be reunited with his grandmother, whom he resented, for surmising she deserted him. Challenges later followed in life, and he promised to find the one who killed his brother.

Series overview

Ang Probinsyano has five narrative arcs or "books". Consisting of 9 seasons throughout its telecast.

The first book (Syndicate Arc) ran from 2015 through 2017 spanning the first and second seasons and focused on the various cases Cardo encountered as a member of the CIDG, both related and unrelated to its main arc.

The second book (Rebellion and Terrorism Arc)[8] contains the third and fourth seasons of the series and focused on Cardo's encounters with the "Pulang Araw" (transl. Red Sun) both as a member of Special Action Force and undercover under the no nom de guerre "Agila" (transl. Eagle), and later as part of the vigilante group "Vendetta".

The third book (Political Arc)[9] covers the series' fifth and sixth seasons and focuses on the larger political drama in the Philippines.

The fourth book (Crime and Corruption Arc),[10] on the other hand, opened with the series' seventh season and chronicles Cardo's return to the police force and his continued efforts to fight crime and corruption in the country. This is followed by the show's eight season which sees Lily moving to consolidate her power as both the first lady of the Republic and leader of an international drug cartel in the Philippines.[11]

The fifth and final book (International Arc) follows the series' ninth season, the Task Force Agila traveling to north in search for a new hiding place after killing the drug lord Enrique Vera, having avenged the murder of Audrey, the sister of P/Cpt. Lia Mante and daughter of Fernando Mante, in ninth season. The Mante family leaves the country for their safety. Arriving at the north, Cardo meets a woman in a motorcycle named Mara.

Production

ABS-CBN president and CEO, Charo Santos-Concio, touted the creation of a drama-action series which particularly aims to give importance to the police force in an effort to help them "regain the love and respect of the people". Coco Martin, who would be later named as the series' lead actor, was involved in the production shoot for the series, who proposed that the production team create a television adaptation of Fernando Poe Jr. film Ang Probinsyano. Martin reasons that he and his grandmother enjoyed watching films of the action star while Martin grew up. The widow of Fernando Poe Jr., Susan Roces reportedly allowed the production team to adopt her former spouse's film. [1]

The series directed by Malu Sevilla and Avel Sunpongco is not a remake of the 1997 film of the same name. It was made to be run for months to be more suitable for teleserye viewers.[2]

The title of the original film was inspired from the term "pulis patola" which is occasionally used to tease newbie police officers. Since patola, or cucumber of the luffa genus, is usually grown in the provinces outside urban areas such as Manila, the title Ang Probinsyano was decided to be the title of the 1997 film,[2] which would be later adapted in the 2015 television series.

Casting changes

Singer-actress Angeline Quinto was supposedly part of the main cast to play the role of Lily, an original character yet different role. However, she was later pulled out from the cast due to conflicting schedules.[3][4][5][6] Quinto was replaced by Maja Salvador, and thus renamed the character to Glen.

Deviations from the film

  • Cardo ('Kardo' in the film) had a wife and children in the film version who were killed because the killers had mistaken Cardo for Ador.[7]
  • Ador's guilt was the reason for their separation in the film version. In the TV series version, their grandmother had young Cardo adopted by a childless couple as a condition for the treatment of Cardo's injuries in Singapore.[7]
  • Ador and Cardo's grandmother was not part of the film. Their grandmother in the TV series is played by veteran actress Susan Roces, widow of the late Fernando Poe, Jr.[7]
  • Cardo's last name in the film version is still 'de Leon' instead of 'Dalisay'.[7]
  • Cardo in the TV series is a SAF trooper in Botolan. In the film version, Cardo is Santa Marcela's Police Chief.[7]
  • The main antagonists in the film version is a drug syndicate. In the TV series, it is a human-child trafficking syndicate (however, production soon reverted the antagonists into a drug syndicate).[7]
  • The child Cardo adopted in the film version is a girl, while in the TV series version, it is a boy.[7]
  • The name of Ador's wife in the film version is Lily, while in the TV series her name was known to be Carmen. Lily turns out to be the name of a Chinese syndicate master's (played by Richard Yap) female assistant in the TV series.[7]
  • Carmen in the film version is a night club entertainer and mother of the child Cardo adopted,[7] whereas the TV series version is Cardo's sister-in-law and Ador's widow.
  • The 'Glen Corpuz' character was originally created only for the TV series.[7]
  • Ador's superior in the film version, who devised the plan for Cardo to assume Ador's identity, is not Ador and Cardo's grand-uncle.[7]
  • The person who killed Ador in the film version is a syndicate goon. In the TV series, Ador is killed by a corrupted policeman.[7]
  • The 'Paloma Picache'[8] character was created only for the TV series,[2] and was an idea proposed by lead actor Coco Martin to Dreamscape Entertainment. Paloma is actually Cardo in drag during his mission to rescue women who were kidnapped by a prostitution syndicate. Coco Martin who portrayed the character said that he had to study the mannerisms of a woman for the role. He remarked that this particular role was hard noting that women spend about two hours doing their make-up for a date and on how it is hard and painful to walk on high-heels.[9] Cardo's "Paloma" persona returned in a storyline involving a blackmailing case of an American businessman.
  • Janus del Prado and Dindo Arroyo were the only cast members from the 1997 film version who had guest appearances in the TV series. Ricardo Cepeda, who was part of the 1998 film sequel "Ang Pagbabalik ng Probinsyano", also had a guest appearance in the TV series.[7]

Extension

Ang Probinsyano is confirmed to air until 2017 due to its high ratings, action scenes and "real life lessons" which was received well by the audience. Furthermore, the series has also been known to educate its viewers about Philippine laws and issues.[10]

Notes

^ Ador died with the rank of Police Senior Inspector. When Cardo was pretending as Ador, he solved a case thus promoting "Ador" to Chief Inspector because everyone thought that he was really Ador. When it was revealed that he was Cardo, the promotion became null and invalid. The reason why Cardo and his father don't share the same surname because Cardo was adopted at a young age. Borja was the middle name used by Ador in the series, even though it was not his mother's maiden name. It may not be explicitly stated in the series but Ador used "Borja" as his middle name for reasons unknown. In the Pilot Episode, although in certificates and portraits he was named as "Dominador M. de Leon", however due to continuity errors, he was introduced as "Cadet Dominador Borja de Leon" during the PNPA Graduation Ceremony,[14] as well as in his promotion to Police Senior Inspector in the third episode.[15] In some episodes, Ador's gravestone in the cemetery was also shown as "PS/INSP. Dominator B. de Leon".[16]
^ "Paloma Picache" is a one of Cardo's disguises and is not a separate character.
