Is it true that Julia Montes will be part of ‘Ang Probinsyano’?

Actress Julia Montes is being rumored to be the new leading lady of FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano lead actor Coco Martin.

The long-running Kapamilya series previously featured Jane de Leon as the lead actress following the exit of Yassi Pressman. However, reports recently circulated that Jane is set to start shooting for her Darna series and so she needs to leave Ang Probinsyano.
