*Ang Probinsyano* has four narrative arcs or "books".

The first book (Syndicate Arc) ran from 2015 through 2017 spanning the first and second seasons and focused on the various cases Cardo encountered as a member of the CIDG, both related and unrelated to its main arc.

The second book (Rebellion and Terrorism Arc) contains the third and fourth seasons of the series and focused on Cardo's encounters with the "*Pulang Araw*" (transl. *Red Sun*) both as a member of Special Action Force and undercover under the *nom de guerre* "*Agila*" (transl. *Eagle*), and later as part of the vigilante group "*Vendetta*".

The third book (Political Arc) covers the series' fifth and sixth seasons and focuses on the larger political drama in the Philippines.

The fourth book (Crime and Corruption Arc), on the other hand, opened with the series' seventh season and chronicles Cardo's return to the police force and his continued efforts to fight crime and corruption in the country. This is followed by the show's eight season which sees Lily moving to consolidate her power as both the first lady of the Republic and leader of an international drug cartel in the Philippines.
