Ang Probinsyano (Lit: The Man from the Province or The Provincial Man / English: Brothers), officially FPJ's Ang Probinsyano, is a 2015 Philippine action drama television series airing in ABS-CBN based on the 1997 Fernando Poe Jr. film of the same title, courtesy of FPJ Productions. Produced by Dreamscape Productions and directed by Malu Sevilla, Avel Sunpongco, Toto Natividad, Richard V. Somes, Kevin de Vela, Alan Chanliongco and Enzo Williams, 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 show will end in 2018.
Ang Probinsyano has two narrative arcs or "books". "Book 1" of the television series ran from its debut in 2015 through 2017 and contained the series' first and second seasons. "Book 2" opened with the series' Third Season and officially began on May 2017
The story revolves around the journey of twins Dominador "Ador" de Leon and Ricardo "Cardo" Dalisay, (both played by Coco Martin), who were separated from each other due to financial reasons, even as they followed the path of being police officers.
Ador is raised by his grandmother, Lola Flora (Susan Roces). When he grows up, he enters the Philippine National Police Academy (PNPA) alongside Joaquin Tuazon (Arjo Atayde). During his stint in the Police Academy, he meets the sister of his classmate, Carmen (Bela Padilla), who eventually becomes his wife. After graduating as the class valedictorian, Ador marries Carmen after they discover her pregnancy. She eventually gives birth to Dominador "Junior" de Leon, Jr. (Lei Andrei Navarro).
