Julia Montes is finally making her television comeback by taking on a leading lady role opposite Coco Martin in “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano.”
Montes will be joining the growing roster of actors in the action-drama series as it approaches its sixth year on air, Dreamscape Entertainment and ABS-CBN confirmed via its Instagram accounts today, July 30.
“FINALLY, #COCOJULisback! The most awaited reunion on television is happening as Julia Montes joins ‘FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,'” the Kapamilya network said in the release.
Montes and Martin have been a rumored couple for a long time now, with fans spotting them together at different locations in the past few weeks. The two, however, have yet to confirm or deny the romance rumors.
The pair was also recently seen in Mindoro, where they will be shooting for an upcoming film by Brillante Mendoza.
Aside from Montes, joining the “Ang Probinsyano” cast are actors Rosanna Roces, Tommy Abuel, Michael Flores, Vangie Labalan, Marela Torre, Chai Fonacier, Elora Españo and Joseph Marco.
The entry of Montes and her fellow actors into “Ang Probinsyano” comes shortly after ABS-CBN announced Jane de Leon’s exit from the show. De Leon is set to start filming for “Darna” this September. /ra
