Toni Fowler Will Star in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo as Bestfriend of Lovi Poe
Social media personality Toni Fowler will star in the newest Kapamilya action series of Coco Martin the “FPJs Batang Quiapo”.
Toni Fowler, a vlogger and internet sensation, has announced that she would appear in the ABS-CBN teleserye starring Coco Martin and Lovi Poe. Toni announced her character’s name, “Chikey,” in a Facebook post, and the vlogger’s fans were ecstatic.
Coco Martin, who is also the director of “Batang Quiapo,” said during the press conference that he chose Toni for the part. He chooses social media celebrities because many people can relate to them, he claims.
“‘Nung nagbubuo ako ng community, sabi ko, naghahanap ako ng totoong tao kasi alam ko sa pamamagitan nila (mga vloggers), makakarelate ang maraming tao,” Coco said.
Toni thanked Coco for the opportunity and told Coco about her involvement in the series at the same time. Her role in the action series will be a negative impact on Lovi Poe’s bestfriend.
“Ang role ko dun ay ako ‘yung magiging bad influence na mag-iimpluwensiya kay Ms. Lovi, ang aking bessy na mapunta sa maling landas na ayaw mo maging kaibigan ng anak mo kasi maraming ganitong klase ‘di ba? Parang hala saan ka ba mapupuntang environment… ‘B.I.’ talaga,” she said.
Toni went on to say that he did not anticipate it to spread from social media to television. She said that while everybody may start their own YouTube channel, not everyone can go on TV.
“Ako wala akong masabi, galing sa puso ko na sobrang thankful ako kasi hindi lahat ay nabibigyan ng (social media artist) pagkakataon na maging artista. Tulad nga ng sabi ko ‘nun kay direk, ‘Lahat ay pu-puwedeng mag-open ng sariling YouTube channel, pero hindi lahat nakakatungtong sa TV,’ she said.
“So ‘yun pa lang sobrang thankful na kami. Isipin niyo po napakaraming mabibigat na artista pero sinasama niya po kami kahit saan, walang malaki, walang maliit, walang beterano, walang nagsisimula pa lang, so thank you po direk, maraming salamat po,” Toni added during the interview.
