“It’s been a memorable year,” says Coco at the thanksgiving party given by “Ang Probinsyano”. “Nagpapasalamat kami sa lahat ng sumusubaybay sa show at sa lahat ng mga artistang naging guest namin sa loob ng isang taon. Dahil dito’y nakapagbigay pugay kami at naparangalan ang buong kapulisan. We’re now preparing for the next three months hanggang December kasi dito lalabas lahat ng sekreto at totoong kuwento ng bawat tauhan sa show kaya huwag kayong bibitaw.”
No doubt the show helped the careers of its characters. It helped Arjo Atayde as the resident villain to win the Peplist best supporting actor award. It also launched the showbiz careers of child stars Macmac as Awra and Onyok, and new comedian Pepe Herrera.
“Salamat po at ako’y naging artista,” says Onyok. “Masaya ako kasi marami na kong fans. Nakakaipon na ako para sa pag-aaral ko at para sa bahay ko.”
“Salamat po sa ABS-CBN at kay Kuya Coco dahil kinuha akong artista at tinuruan akong umarte,” says Awra. “Hindi ko malilimutan yung eksenang inamin ko ang katotohanang isa akong bakla.”
