Ang Probinsyano (season 2)

The **second season** of *Ang Probinsyano*, a Philippine action drama television series on ABS-CBN, premiered on October 3, 2016 on the network's *Primetime Bida* evening block and worldwide on The Filipino Channel and concluded on May 25, 2017. The series stars Coco Martin as SPO2 Ricardo Dalisay, together with an ensemble cast consisting of Susan Roces, Arjo Atayde, Albert Martinez, Agot Isidro, Jaime Fabregas, and Eddie Garcia.

The **second season** of *Ang Probinsyano* shows the Tuazon family's façade slowly unravel, leading their conflict with Cardo to become even more direct than it was when they were shrouded in anonymity. The Tuazons then succeed in smearing Cardo's name by securing his conviction for drug trafficking. Cardo would later escape and find incriminating evidence against the Tuazons, and along the way exonerating himself. In his search for justice, Cardo also uncovers the Tuazons involvement in the demise of his father, brother and sister-in-law.

## Plot

Tomas Tuazon (Albert Martinez), Joaquin's (Arjo Atayde) father, is revealed as the head of the drug syndicate Cardo (Coco Martin) battles. Don Emilio Syquia (Eddie Garcia), Tomas' father-in-law, gets fed up with Tomas taking control of the drug syndicate for himself and orchestrates events that would pit Cardo against Tomas. Tomas is ultimately captured by Cardo in a drug sting, and is subsequently convicted. To retaliate, Joaquin and Don Emilio frame Cardo for illegal drug possession. While inside the maximum security prison, Cardo and Tomas continue to engage in conflicts, which further intensifies when Don Emilio reveals the truth to Cardo that Tomas killed Cardo's former sister-in-law, Carmen (Bela Padilla). As Tomas attempts to escape prison, Cardo kills him.

Following Tomas' death, Joaquin and General Rogelio Jacob (Rez Cortez) hire a new, even more cruel Bureau of Corrections Director, Guillermo Acosta (Dindo Arroyo). Under their payroll, Acosta makes prison life more difficult for Cardo. Cardo participates in a jailbreak and is determined to clear his name. He continues to pursue the syndicate responsible for his frame up. To that end, using the name of Miguel, he joins his allies in prison Ramil "Manager" Taduran (Michael de Mesa) and Julian Valerio (Julio Diaz) who work for the Cebu-based drug syndicate of Romano "Chairman" Recio (Ronnie Lazaro), an ally of Joaquin, to take the syndicate down.

The organization continues to threaten his family and has many connections in society, including the police and government. Unknown to Cardo, the syndicate who framed him is the same syndicate responsible for the deaths of his loved ones, including Ador.

Don Emilio is captured by Cardo and convicted for the murder of Cardo's father, SPO4 Pablo B. de Leon (Tonton Gutierrez). Cardo and his prison allies take down Recio's drug syndicate and after surrendering, Cardo's innocence is proven after Joaquin is exposed for his crimes. Cardo obtains incriminating evidence including Colonel Roy Carreon's (Art Acuña) testimony that he previously secretly worked for Joaquin. Joaquin is exposed as Ador's murderer and for his part in covering up and leading a drug and human trafficking syndicate.

Cardo kills Joaquin after the latter disrupts his wedding to Alyana (Yassi Pressman), finally avenging his twin's death.
