The Lapids, a family with deep ties to Philippine showbiz and public service, displayed their enduring ability to engage audiences while discussing their ongoing roles in the popular action series 'Batang Quiapo' during a recent holiday catch-up.

As Senator Lito Lapid — famed for his role as the 'Supremo' in the Coco Martin-starrer — and his son, Mark Lapid, Chief Operating Officer of the Tourism Infrastructure and Enterprise Zone Authority (Tieza) — a member of the series' huge star-studded supporting cast as Ben Camacho — reflected on the year that's about to close, they said they cannot be more grateful that they've been able to pursue their dual functions as action stars and public servants successfully in 2024.
