The first book of the top-rating primetime soap FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano concluded on an intense note as Coco Martin’s character Cardo killed his top nemesis Joaquin played by Arjo Atayde. Along with Joaquin, several other key characters also exited the show as new ones are set to enter the newest season.
Here are the 10 new stars to watch out for in the second book of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano:

Pokwang won the Bert Marcelo Lifetime Achievement Award twice at the Box-office Entertainment Awards.
