Batang Quiapo (lit. 'Quiapo Kid') is a 1986 Filipino action comedy film directed by Pablo Santiago and starring Fernando Poe Jr. and Maricel Soriano.[1] The film is the first and only collaboration between Poe and Soriano, and was Poe's first film under Regal Films.[2] The film broke box-office records of its time.[3][4][5]
A television remake loosely based on the film and starring Coco Martin began airing on the Kapamilya Channel in 2023. Rez Cortez, who played Tikboy, was the sole cast member from the film to return for the television adaptation, portraying a different character with the same name.[6]
