“FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” is set to take its final bow in August as it counts down to its last three weeks, after almost seven years of airing.

Lead actor Coco Martin announced the long-running series’ upcoming finale, dubbed “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano: Ang Pambansang Pagtatapos,” in a teaser at the end of the show’s episode yesterday, July 22. The teaser was also shown on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel yesterday.

“Mga Ka-Probinsyano, dumating na po ang oras. Ang programang minahal ninyo ng pitong taon ay nalalapit na po ang pagtatapos,” he said. (Ka-Probinsyano, the time has come. The program you loved for seven years is coming to an end.)

Martin then expressed gratefulness to viewers of “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” who kept on watching the series through the years.

“Malungkot man na tayo ay maghihiwalay pero walang hanggang pagpapasalamat ang aming nararamdaman. Nagbago man ang mundo, nandiyan pa rin kayo. Kahit man po matapos ang teleseryeng ito, hinding-hindi matatapos ang pagmamahal namin sa inyo,” he told fans.

(Sad it may be that we will be going our separate ways, but we feel endless gratitude. The world may have changed, but you are still there. Even if this series will end, our love for all of you will not.)

“FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” is an adaptation of the 1997 movie of the same name starring “Da King,” Fernando Poe Jr. It started airing on Philippine television on Sept. 28, 2015.

The series will be replaced by “Mars Ravelo’s Darna: The TV Series,” starring Jane de Leon. “Darna” will premiere its pilot episode on Aug. 15.  /ra
