Batang Quiapo

This series is very disturbing, yet many people, including kids, are watching it because their idols are in it. It's not suitable for those who are easily scared and may trigger anxiety while watching. The plot is chaotic, and some of the characters doesn't give justice as well. It shows pure evil and doesn't do justice to the old FPJ movie. Fans of the original will be disappointed by how messy this adaptation is. Though it attracts viewers due to its cast, it lacks respect for the original work and fails to deliver a meaningful experience. The disturbing scenes might haunt sensitive viewers after watching.

Coco Martin is not a good director some of the action scenes feel bland and soulless. Started Killing off characters for no reason especially tanggol's partner's. Dynamic with his mom is meh and some scenes I don't even feel like tanggol has a mo, so overhyped in the Philippines. A Total disgrace compared to Fernando Poe's Version.

Seriously 😒 the way they portray Quiapo is disrespectful because in reality all of does things never happened in Quiapo and we all know it could happen in real life but still it's rare to hear does things happening in Quiapo besides it's far from the original story even tho it's a remake the main character from the original batang Quiapo is a thief but also have good heart and has respect hunger and poverty causes the main character to turn into life of crime while this iteration is just bad he's gangstaer with no respect for he's parents not good for kids cause it will teach them criminal activity.

I thought they'd deviate from The Probinsyano's formula. Turns out they followed the exact same formula and THEN branded it under a different name. It's the exact same series with the god awful dialogue, Cardo is called Tanggol(...why am I surprised) and his rebelliousness is still there under the guise of "I want to protect you." There's another way to solve problems, guys. The rest of the cast also have cookie-cut personalities so...

Just watched the latest episode and even the villians are so predictable, why? Because they dictate every single thing about their plans, the flow of the script automatically directs you in only one direction and you expect us to think this is good storytelling? I thought I would be rooting for the villians in this, but no, they're also equally bad if not worse.

If you aren't tuned in to mainstream Filipino television, you're not missing much. There are just so many things to say about this show but I'll try to keep it short.

It is HIGHLY uncompelling. There is no tension and smart plot points. The writers, no matter how many put their brains together, have to rely on twists. The dialogue is laughable. The characters are literally just cardboard cutouts; no depth. It's like Ang Probinsyano, but skipping to the part where it became a rotten pot of brain rot. No essence, it's ridiculous, and a sad excuse for Fernando Poe Jr's legacy. God bless that man.
