My Little Juan is a Philippine fantasy-drama television series created by Rondel P. Lindayag. It stars Jaime Fabregas and Izzy Canillo as their previous respective roles, with the special participation of Mylene Dizon as Juan's mother, Amelia. It premiered on ABS-CBN on from May 20, 2013 to September 13, 2013 replacing May Isang Pangarap. This series serves as a followup to the highly successful television series, Juan dela Cruz. The series deals with the themes of faith-in-oneself, identity, and love, along with issues of bullying and morality. Elements from the mythology of the Aswang has been incorporated all throughout the series, like it can take a human form and it can turn other people into an Aswang, along with the series' own mythology.
The series follows a young Juan dela Cruz (Izzy Canillo) as he, with the help of Father Cito (Jaime Fabregas), prepares for his future role as the "Tagabantay" (The Guardian), while struggling to balance his goodness with the evil brewing inside him inherited from his father, an "Aswang", a humanoid creature similarly related to the Vampire, whose objective is to take over the society of men and claim it as their own. Being the Tagabantay is a role that has been passed down through generations of people who are the only ones who can wield the "Bakal na Krus" (Iron Cross). It is the duty of the Tagabantay to protect the people against the dreaded Aswang.
According to data from Kantar Media Philippines, My Little Juan successfully conquered the afternoon viewing habit of TV viewers as it reigned in its timeslot with a pilot rating of 17.3% or almost 10 points higher than its rival program in GMA Network, Unforgettable which only got 7.6%.
