The end of the seven-year reign of ABS-CBN’s longest-running action-packed series FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano had Richard Juan, Jodi Sta. Maria, Bianca Gonzalez, Candy Pangilinan, and Angeli Valenciano were amazed and heartbroken by its finale on Friday, August 12.
In the last episode of the show titled “Mission Accomplished,” the final showdown between Cardo Dalisay (Coco Martin) and Renato Hipolito (John Arcilla) finally ensued, with the former emerging victorious at the cost of the lives of his Task Force Agila members.
In the final minutes of FPJAP, Dalisay and President Oscar Hidalgo (Rowell Santiago) finally found peace following Hipolito’s death.
The former returned to the province, paid his respect to Lola Flora (Susan Roces), and found a new love in Mara (Julia Montes), who survived after being thrown into the sea.
Kapamilya actress Jodi Sta. Maria lauded the entire cast and production of the series, tweeting, “You have put a lot of time, energy, and heart into this…Congratulations FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano team!”
