Batang Quiapo (2023)
Completely disrespects the original film by FPJ

This is by far, the worst adaption of the film by Fernando Po, Jr. The only similarity to the original film is the last names of the protagonist (Dimaguiba) and the location (Quiapo). The main protagonist, played by Coco Martin is forever being persecuted by being shot (mulitple times), beaten, and tortured, while all the antagonists, mainly his stepfather and brother, continue to succeed. The series portrays the police in a disrespectful manner, and promotes criminality. The story moves extremely slowly due to the many plot threads. FPJ would be turning in his grave if he saw this. Disgraceful is putting it mildly.
