Cardo (Coco Martin)‘s Task Force Agila has found its new ally in a group of farmers-turned-assassins bossed by Armando (John Estrada). They first showed team spirit, despite a little tension, while escaping from the cops during an art exhibit where Armando’s squad abducted the influential Don Ignacio (Tommy Abuel).

The encounter at the museum was followed by another suspenseful gunfight wherein Armando’s team saved the Task Force Agila from death. In that episode, Cardo arrived at the house of Lolo Delfin (Jaime Fabregas)’s former colleague, who sold them out to the police force. Task Force Agila was outnumbered. Most members were wounded while some had already lost consciousness due to severe gunshot wounds. Thank heavens Armando’s group came to the rescue.

To make it up to Armando’s generosity and help, Cardo agreed to lead in saving the female farmers abducted by Don Ignacio’s henchmen.

The two teams have recently made a pact to support each other in their individual plans. This could only mean big-time action in the coming episodes. Who else is excited? While looking forward to the ‘astig’ adrenaline-rushing stunts and fight scenes, check out these behind-the-scenes photos that highlight the bond of the Agilas and the assassins:
