If we are to analyze the very gist of the “FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano” story, it appertains to an underdog eventually proving his worth. It alludes to a newbie, underestimated to cope up and do well in the big city against the top guns. Much like how it was with Ret. Gen. Magalong prior to assuming his new role in the political arena. Thus, as for his status on the first few weeks as City Mayor, it can be surmised - “Proving siya ‘no...” Indeed (as much as ‘in deed’), he’s proving himself well so far.
That brings us to the question, will he be able to sustain his level of no-nonsense approach on good governance? It has been raised, more so among rivals, detractors and doubters, that it’s just brought about by Magalong’s initial excitement and swaggering around.
And for a ‘Ang Probinsyano-like’ storyline, the plot thickens by discrediting the protagonist with a critical devaluation of his good intentions...
Let’s put it this way, no losing aspirant/contender with a bloated ego has ever accepted defeat founded on a fair-minded and a more objective perspective. Moreover, their overvalued self-worth can’t admit losing to someone deemed inferior to their assumed better standing.
What they have also failed to put into considerable account is the typical twist, for all its “nail-biting” intensity for a story, “walang bidang hindi nabubugbog sa umpisa”. (Why can’t the “anti-heroes” think of the same thing with their “beaten” predicament and just prove their true worth instead? - rather than resorting to “antagonism...”)
Another significant point is the preceding episodes (the weightiness of a noteworthy prequel). If we are to backtrack for all its credential-building reputation’s worth, Magalong, under politically played twists-and-turns, has proven his “Cardo-like” character. It was not a matter of who were involved. It shouldn’t even be a case of conspiracy theories. It doesn’t have to be whether you’re a supporter of who got ticked off/castigated or the “seeming betrayal of command” under sensitive and awkward controversies. Also, it was never about selling-out or a breach of trust... It was not about some hidden agenda or justifying a rewarding distinction or perquisite (it was to sacrifice that actually). It was or IT IS a matter of what is right; a matter of establishing (still) optimism that there is yet hope for those already-degenerating principles worth fighting for. COURAGE, INTEGRITY, LOYALTY!
Accordingly, on that aspect, Magalong has proven it... proven na siya... Thus far, ‘PROVEN SIYA ‘NO!’

- Courage to fight for what’s right no matter how tight...
- Integrity by action regardless of the unpopularity of such decision...
- Loyalty to the constitution, not to a person...
