My Little Juan is a 2013 Philippine television drama series broadcast by ABS-CBN. The series is a midquel to Juan dela Cruz. Directed by Darnel Joy R. Villaflor and Francis E. Pasion, it stars Jaime Fabregas and Izzy Canillo. It aired on the network's Kapamilya Gold line up and worldwide on TFC from May 20 to September 13, 2013 replacing May Isang Pangarap and was replaced by Kapamilya Blockbusters. The series deals with the themes of faith-in-oneself, identity, and love, along with issues of bullying and morality. Elements from the mythology of the Aswang has been incorporated all throughout the series, like it can take a human form and it can turn other people into an Aswang, along with the series' own mythology.
Plot
The series follows a young Juan dela Cruz (Izzy Canillo) as he, with the help of Father Cito (Jaime Fabregas), prepares for his future role as the "Tagabantay" (The Guardian), while struggling to balance his goodness with the evil brewing inside him inherited from his father, an "Aswang", a humanoid creature similarly related to the Vampire, whose objective is to take over the society of men and claim it as their own. Being the Tagabantay is a role that has been passed down through generations of people who are the only ones who can wield the "Bakal na Krus" (Iron Cross). It is the duty of the Tagabantay to protect the people against the dreaded Aswang.
