However, despite his success on the show, he went through personal challenges that led him to decide to end his role in the series.

According to sources, Marco didn’t find this decision easy. “It’s not easy leaving a show that has given me so much. I’ve grown as an actor, and I owe so much to my character in Batang Quiapo, but there comes a time when you have to move on,” Marco said in an interview before his final taping day. It’s clear that he’s not leaving just for his own benefit, but because of the lessons he’s learned from his experiences on the show. His involvement in the series has given him many insights and served as an inspiration for his continued growth as an actor.

Many Batang Quiapo fans were shocked when they heard the news. The loyal fans who were hoping to see more of Marco’s character, as it deepened and added more stories to the show. But in showbiz, not everything is predictable. Sometimes, actors need a break, a chance to focus on their personal lives, and there are times when they have to change paths to grow their careers further. Marco Dela Cruz, while not as famous for major films, is an actor loved by viewers for his authenticity and natural charm.

His final taping day was emotional for Marco and the whole Batang Quiapo cast. They tried to stay calm, but couldn’t stop the tears as they looked at their co-stars and the crew who were part of their journey. “So many memories. I didn’t expect this to end,” Marco said. In the final moments of taping, he expressed his gratitude to the people who had been with him throughout the project.

One of the first to notice the changes in Marco’s life was his family. “My family is very important to me. They’ve always been there for me, and I think this is the right time to spend more time with them,” Marco said. Despite his success, he realized that it’s time to return to what truly matters—his family and personal life.

Marco’s decision to say goodbye to Batang Quiapo came from deeper reasons. He didn’t just decide because of personal reasons, but because he felt that it was the right step for his professional life. “I’m not saying I’m quitting acting. I’m just moving on to new opportunities. I want to evolve as an actor, and sometimes, you need to step away from something to find something better,” Marco explained. He sees this as an opportunity for growth and a fresh start in his career.

Many are wondering what Marco’s next step will be. Fans are hoping to see him in new projects—movies or other TV series. Coco Martin, the lead star of Batang Quiapo, also expressed his gratitude and support for Marco. “Marco is a great actor, and I’m proud of everything he’s accomplished in Batang Quiapo. We will miss him, but we know he will continue to shine wherever he goes,” Coco Martin said.

On his last day of taping, Marco wasn’t the only one showing emotion. The entire cast and crew expressed their thanks to the fans who continuously supported them and gave strength to their characters in Batang Quiapo. The final taping day became a symbol of the end of an important chapter for them all
