<p>Avid viewers of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></strong></em></a> presumably have mixed feelings towards Marites, the dutiful and stoical mother of Tanggol (Coco Martin), David (McCoy de Leon), and Santino (Ronwaldo Martin) compellingly portrayed by veteran actress Cherry Pie Picache. Just like other <em>ilaw ng tahanan</em> like her, she only wants nothing but to have a complete family and provide for their needs as long as she can.</p><p>While we admire her for her unwavering love, strength, and tenacity as a homemaker, we couldn’t help but be disappointed with the decisions that she had made in her pursuit of keeping their home intact. Unfortunately, all the patience, efforts, and sacrifices that she poured into their family went in vain as the home she painstakingly takes good care of still crumbled due to various circumstances that they went through, including the extramarital affair of her husband, Rigor (John Estrada).</p><p>Nevertheless, we couldn’t definitely discount the fact the she’s still a superwo-mom for serving not only as the glowing light of the Dimaguiba household, but as the strong glue that binds them together. And as we celebrate Mother’s Day, let us revisit some of the endearing <em>nanay </em>moments of Marites to her three sons in this special feature!</p><div> </div><div><strong>Marites begs Tanggol to stay out of trouble</strong></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="703" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GpcQzj11z04" title="Marites begs Tanggol to stay out of trouble | FPJ" s="" Batang="" Quiapo="" English="" width="1250"></iframe></div><p>As his firstborn Tanggol is notorious in their community for always getting in trouble, Marites warned him about being a bad influence on his younger brother Santino who looks up to him and regards him as his idol. She might have gotten mad at them, but just like any mom, she still served them food and asked them to eat after reprimanding them.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Marites promises to help Tanggol with Rigor</strong></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="703" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vinoDO4DlJs" title="Tanggol talks to Marites and Tindeng about his problem | FPJ" s="" Batang="" Quiapo="" English="" width="1250"></iframe></div><p>After not seeing him for quite some time after the intense altercation that he had with his father, Marites and Tindeng (Charo Santos) weren’t able to hold their emotions upon finally seeing him and Mokang (Lovi Poe) again when they swung by their stall in Quiapo. While they were already worried about them, they further got anxious upon learning that they figured in another mess again. Even though they already knew how Rigor would violently react, Marites still promised to help them and asked them to immediately go back to hiding for their safety.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Marites’ heartwarming moment with David</strong></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="703" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JHy2k3Soong" title="David is in tears as he apologized to Marites | FPJ" s="" Batang="" Quiapo="" English="" width="1250"></iframe></div><p>With how he has gone arrogant, disrespectful, and cruel, especially to his family, David has been abhorred by viewers. Thus, many have probably forgotten this heartwarming and relatable moment he had with Marites as he apologized to her for getting himself in a serious trouble.</p><p>Marites totally got frustrated upon learning that he got his girlfriend, Camille (Yukii Takahashi), pregnant since she and Rigor had high hopes for him. They wanted him to finish his studies and become a policeman someday like his father, but that wouldn’t happen anymore since David had to take a break from school in order to find a job that could support the family he’s going to have financially.</p><p>Even though she still found it hard to accept, Marites had no choice but to do it since it’s already there. So, she just made him promise to own up to his actions by fulfilling his responsibilities as a father and treating Camille right, then gave him a tight embrace that made both of them burst into tears.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Marites castigates David for mistreating Camille</strong></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="703" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dvSlxEimCkM" title="Marites looks at David" s="" cellphone="" Batang="" Quiapo="" English="" width="1250"></iframe></div><p>And, as we all know, David isn’t able to keep that promise as he has not only become an irresponsible partner to Camille, but he also disrespected her when he assailed her during one of their fights. Being the highly concerned mother that she is, Marites chastised him for allegedly cheating on Camille and for maltreating her as well. She reminded him that the true measure of a man’s masculinity is not by how bossy and tough he is, but by how he faces his responsibilities and possesses integrity.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Marites asks about Santino&#x27;s dream</strong></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="703" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XOQSR7gXEoA" title="Marites asks about Santino" s="" dream="" Batang="" Quiapo="" English="" width="1250"></iframe></div><p>Life has been tough and hectic for Marites, which made her realize that she wasn’t able to give her <em>bunso</em>, Santino, enough attention. Thus, when they were given the opportunity to talk, she made sure to let him know how proud she was of him for that amid everything that has been happening to their family, he has remained a good kid who helps them and has never run out of patience.</p><p>It was also through that one-on-one conversation that she found that his ultimate dream in life is to become a professional boxer, which got her appalled. Knowing that it would be too risky and would put his life in grave danger, she encouraged him to think about it first or to just pursue other dreams. Regardless of what his dreams would be, she advised him to work hard and strive for it and give it his all so that he would be able to achieve them.</p><p>Upon hearing from Santino that he would only want to become a boxer in order to alleviate their family’s living conditions, she couldn’t help but be moved and feel proud to have raised such a good son like him.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Marites explains Rigor&#x27;s plan to Santino</strong></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="703" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Kvj_2v7K9_0" title="Marites explains Rigor" s="" plan="" to="" Santino="" Batang="" Quiapo="" English="" width="1250"></iframe></div><p>Even though she knew that Santino only wanted to defend his Kuya Tanggol from Rigor and David who are both trying to malign him, Marites just advised him to keep mum and let them be in order to not add fuel to the fire. As Rigor criticized him for wasting his time while waiting for the next opening of school enrolment, she advised him to look for a regular and decent job first not to contribute to their household financially, but to also get away from his father’s scorn and still be productive during his free time.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Marites realizes her shortcomings as a mother to Santino</strong></div><div><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="703" referrerPolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j0h6q8d4660" title="Marites realizes her shortcomings as a mother to Santino | FPJ" s="" Batang="" width="1250"></iframe></div><p>And recently, we’d witnessed this tear-jerking moment between Marites and Santino, wherein she expressed how sorry she is for all her shortcomings, especially as a mother to him. As he got mad as well with Rigor for what he had done to her, Marites reminded him to not be furious at him since Rigor is still his father after all. While others would have probably influenced their brood to be enraged against the parent who got into trouble, Marites doesn’t want the same to happen to her family.</p><p>It might be easy for some of us to be judge and be upset with Marites because of her decisions and choices in life, but let us be reminded that she’s just like any parent and partner who doesn’t want to see the home she painstakingly builds and keeps for years to just crumble without her doing anything to prevent it. Thus, we wish Marites and all the strong moms out there a “Happy Mother’s Day!”.</p><p>Continue following the journey of Marites on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></strong></em></a>, weeknights at 8 PM, on <u><strong><a href="http://kapamilyachannel.com/" target="_blank">Kapamilya Channel</a></strong></u>, <u><strong><a href="http://kapamilyaonlinelive.com" target="_blank">Kapamilya Online Live</a></strong></u>, TV5 and A2Z.</p>
