Actress Sharon Cuneta’s highly anticipated debut in a Kapamilya teleserye is finally happening as she joins the star-studded cast of “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.”
The actress is keeping her role a secret. But she teased that there is a reunion with her former ka-love team Rowell Santiago, who plays the president in the long-running action-drama series that recently marked its historic sixth anniversary.
“Sabihin na lang may balik love team pero napakahaba ng flashback at mahaba ang back story,” she said with a laugh.
ABS-CBN rolled out the red carpet for her yesterday, November 9 with ABS-CBN COO of broadcast Cory Vidanes, TV production head Laurenti Dyogi, Dreamscape Entertainment head Deo Endrinal, and “FPJAP” star, director, and creative director Coco Martin in attendance.
It was followed by a story conference where Sharon discussed her upcoming role with Coco and directors Albert Langitan, Kevin de Vela, John Prats, and Malu Sevilla.
News about the Megastar’s addition to the cast has been one of the most talked about and most 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 top-quality entertainment and important values and lessons, such as love for family and community, to every Filipino home around the world.
“FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” continues to achieve milestones in its sixth year as it became the first Filipino teleserye to livestream on YouTube, where it repeatedly smashed its own live viewership record, peaking at 162,831 concurrent viewers. Through the years, “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” and its stars have also received over 100 awards from various award-giving bodies. The legendary show has also enjoyed success overseas as it seen in other countries via Netflix and The Filipino Channel and its TV broadcast in Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, and 41 countries in Africa.
