FPJ's Ang Probinsyano (Lit: The Man from the Province / English: Brothers) is a 2015 Philippine action drama television series based on the 1997 Fernando Poe Jr. film of the same title, courtesy of FPJ Productions. Directed by Malu Sevilla, Avel Sunpongco and Toto Natividad, it is topbilled by Coco Martin, together with an ensemble cast. The series premiered on ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida evening block and worldwide on The Filipino Channel on September 28, 2015, replacing Nathaniel.
The story revolves around the journey of twins Ador and Cardo (both played by Coco Martin), who were separated from each other because of financial reasons, even as they followed the path of being police officers.
Ador is a prominent and respected CIDG police official in Manila with a loving family as his support. Cardo, on the other hand, loves the solitude of the mountains in the province of Botolan as a SAF Trooper. Their lives take a sudden turn when Ador gets himself entangled in a syndicate after being betrayed by one of his own colleagues, resulting in his death. To conceal this fact, Cardo was ordered to take over Ador's life and finish the mission his brother left behind. He will also be forced to pretend to his brother's family and friends, and be reunited with his grandmother, whom he resented, for surmising she deserted him. Challenges later followed in life, and he promised to find the person who was behind his brother's death.
Cardo tackles various cases of people he meets along the way. However, he was later eventually framed up for illegal drug possession, and thus experiences life in prison. After escaping in a jailbreak and determined to clear his name, Cardo continues his goal in pursuing and ultimately obliterating the syndicate which is responsible for his framing. The organization continues to threaten his family and has many connections in society including the police and government. Unbeknownst to Cardo, the syndicate who framed him up was also the same syndicate responsible for the untimely death of his loved ones, including Ador.
