Turns out, this one’s actually JUST a drill. 

It shocked the nation when the “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” episode that aired on Tuesday, September 7, ended with Jerome, played by John Prats, bloodied from a fatal shot. 

The major cliffhanger caused quite a ruckus online that was immediately eased with the following day’s episode. 

Apparently, Jerome was just having a nightmare, which he was woken up from by no less than Coco Martin’s Cardo. 

In a previous interview with ABS-CBN News, John was asked if his character will be killed off in the series after getting the job of directing the noontime show “It’s Showtime”. 

He answered that that decision lies upon the management, but he will take juggling two shows and being a family man as a challenge.
