Juan dela Cruz is the main protagonist of the 2013 Filipino titular series of the same name and its midquel, My Little Juan. He is mainly known as "Tagabantay," guardian of Bakal na Krus and a hero and the protector of human race against aswangs. He is portrayed by Coco Martin and Izzy Canillo as young Juan.
Juan was born to Samuel Alejandro and Amelia dela Cruz. He was born around 1992. Juan was raised as an orphan in a church by the parish priest, Fr. Ramoncito "Cito" Gonzales. He was loathed by the townspeople due to his temper except by the priest who he considers as his father. At some point the priest was killed by a thief and Juan ended up in Qu...
As a child Juan was mischievous but goodhearted. He was misunderstood as a child by the townspeople, in one instance tried to "help" a man reenacting Christ's passion as penance by pouring alcohol to the man much to the anger of the latter. His classmates either bullies him or were told to stay away from Juan due to his delinquent behaviour. He was also branded as "Son of the devil" due to instances that he exhibits his superhuman abilities.
As a young man, Juan was a care-free, good-spirited and simple man. He also has a good sense of humor and retained some of his mischievousness, often jokes around even to the point of taunting the Haring Aswang with an altered voice through a cellphone call. Through his experiences of being tagabantay though, he is gradually learning he should be more serious of his responsibilities.
As a half-aswang he has above average agility and strength. He also wields the Bakal na Krus, an iron cross that can change into a sword by default, but can transform to more kinds of weapons. Juan can also use night vision and enhanced hearing, also due to his heritage. He is also being trained by the Kapatiran in various fighting skills like Mart...
The Bakal na Krus (lit. Iron Cross) is the legendary weapon of the Tagabantay. The cross can transform into different weapon forms. But only the Tagabantay can use this hidden weapons, once he learned what it takes to unleash that certain weapon. The Tagabantay can attract the cross to his or her hands and place it securely in a wall. The Bakal na Krus was once a ordinary weapon crafted by a Spanish warrior priest.
The cross became the legendary weapon as it is today when Datu Bangaraw struck the cross into the ground and made a prayer to make the cross a weapon of salvation. It is said that one who has bravery in one's heart and faith in God will become powerful. Datu Bangaraw's prayer was heard and the Bakal na Krus became a weapon that can change into different forms. He then passes the sword to his son, who in turn passes it to his descendants. However, all this stories about it's origin was never proven to be true. Aside from the fact that it is inherited from generation to generation.
•Sword (Espada ng Katapangan)
•Bow (Pana ng Karunungan)
•Whip (Latigo ng Katarungan)
•Spear (Sibat ng Kagitingan)
The Espada ng Katapangan (lit. Sword of Bravery) is the first weapon form of the Bakal na Krus. It symbolizes Datu Mangaraw's bravery. This is the most widely used weapon form, used by Juan.
Juan needs to learn the real meaning of bravery for him to unleash the sword. Mang Pepe said that, bravery does not mean the absence of fear. Rather, to have the greatest fear and the will to acknowledge and face it. But instead of taking the advice of Pepe, Juan insists that he is strong because he has nothing to fear of.
The Pana ng Karunungan (lit. Bow of Wisdom) is the second form of the Bakal ng Krus. When the Bakal na Krus changes to this form, the cross only transforms into a bow and arrows only appear when in use. Juan uses this weapon form for ranged attacks as for attacking a distant enemy. For Juan to unlock this, he needs to learn the real meaning of wisdom. The wisdom that comes from the heart, and not from the mind.
He unlocked this when he met a child aswang named Tonton hiding from a house. The Kapatiran oblige him to kill the child right away for the child is still an aswang no matter how young he was. But Juan strongly disagrees to the kapatiran as he just can't kill an innocent child. He then escape as a refugee to the kapatiran, to protect the child, and hide him in an abandoned building. The child promise to never eat human flesh again after a sincere conversation with Juan. Until one night, Tonton was attacked by Kael's minions that put him into danger, that leads to the unleashing of the bow of wisdom.
The Latigo ng Katarungan (lit. Whip of Justice) is the third weapon form of the Bakal na Krus.
For him to unleash the whip, Juan must learn the real meaning of justice. True justice is not served when you rampage in anger or by shunning revenge upon those who you want to get even with.
