Coco Martin offered Sunday his gratitude to everyone who helped create and tuned into "FPJ's Batang Quiapo," as the hit primetime series enters its final week.
"Tatlong taon. Gabi-gabi po sinamahan niyo kami sa inyong mga tahanan. Punong-puno ng pagmamahal at suporta po ang binigay niyo sa'min. Kahit san man po kaming istasyon mapadpad, nandiyan pa rin po kayo at hindi niyo kami binitawan," Martin told viewers as the cast and directors of "Batang Quiapo" graced the "ASAP" stage.
Among those he thanked were ABS-CBN executives for their continued trust and support, as well as the late Deo Endrinal, whose production arm, Dreamscape Entertainment, produced the action drama.
"Kahit wala na po kayo dito, kayo po ang aming inspirasyon, kayo po ang nag-guide sa'min para mapabuti namin ang aming mga trabaho," he said.

"Gusto kong pasalamatan ang lahat ng aking directors na talagang nag-buwis ng buhay, pagod, dugo para mapaganda po ang show. Sa lahat ng mga actors na nagpapakahirap at pinagbubuti po talaga ang kanilang mga trabaho," he said.
Martin also thanked the show's producers and staff.
The actor said "Batang Quiapo" was not just work for him and colleagues.
"Hindi lang siya teleserye na pinanonood niya sa gabi-gabi, talagang ginawa namin siyang pamilya, ginawa po namin siyang buhay na po namin," he said.
"Ginagawa po namin 'yong pinaka-best namin para mapaglingkuran kayo, mapasaya kayo," he told audiences.
Based on the 1986 film starring Fernando Poe Jr., "Batang Quiapo" premiered in 2023 and ran for three years.
The series is set to end on March 13, and will be replaced by "Sigabo," which also stars Martin alongside his real-life partner Julia Montes.
