Julia Montes appears to be all set for the fight scenes in the long-running series “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” as she prepares for her TV comeback.
The actress aced her moves in her training, taking down stuntmen in an action-packed rehearsal video for a fight scene, as seen on Dreamscape Entertainment’s Facebook page yesterday, Aug. 9. Montes showed off not only good aim with a gun but also took down several stuntmen through hand-to-hand combat.
“Panoorin ang unang araw ng training ni Julia Montes bilang paghahanda sa kanyang role,” Dreamscape stated. (Watch the first day of Julia Montes’s training as preparation for her role.)
The video has since been viewed over 1.6 million times and earned more than 19,000 reactions on Facebook, both as of this writing.
Montes’ stunt rehearsal comes after she showed herself riding on practice tracks for a motorcycle training in preparation for the series. She said the experience so far has been “thrilling” and asked fans to wish her luck.
Dreamscape Entertainment and ABS-CBN announced last month that Montes would be joining the “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” cast to mark the series’ sixth year. She will be taking a leading-lady role opposite actor Coco Martin.
The show is also set to welcome new cast members Rosanna Roces, Tommy Abuel, Michael Flores, Vangie Labalan, Marela Torre, Chai Fonacier, Elora Españo and Joseph Marco.
Prior to announcing Montes’ entry into “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano,” ABS-CBN revealed actress Jane de Leon would be leaving the series. De Leon will start filming for “Mars Ravelo’s Darna: The TV Series” this September. /ra
