Coco Martin's Sigabo (transl. Coco Martin's Outburst)[b] is an upcoming Philippine television drama action comedy series produced by CCM Film Productions and Dreamscape Entertainment. It stars Coco Martin and Julia Montes. It is set to premiere on All TV (through its ABS-CBN licensing) and Kapamilya Channel's Primetime Bida evening block on June 22, 2026.
