Coco Martin's Sigabo (transl. Outburst) is a Philippine television drama action comedy series produced by CCM Film Productions and Dreamscape Entertainment. Directed by Malu L. Sevilla, Darnel Joy R. Villaflor, Richard V. Somes and Coco Martin, it stars Martin and Julia Montes in the lead roles. The series premiered on All TV and Kapamilya Channel's Primetime Bida evening block on June 22, 2026.

The series reunites Martin and Montes on primetime television for the first time in four years, following the conclusion of their most recent collaboration in FPJ's Ang Probinsyano. Prior to the series, the two actors previously collaborated in Walang Hanggan, Ikaw Lamang, A Moment in Time, and the Wansapanataym episode "Yamashita's Treasures".

Premise

After serving eight years in prison, a spunky man named Gabo is granted parole. But his long-awaited freedom comes at a price—he is forced into a covert government program that recruits convicts for dangerous, high-stakes missions.
