<p>Just in time for our celebration of the 125<sup>th</sup> Philippine Independence Day last June 12, we had witnessed several moments of emancipation in this week’s episodes of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></strong></em></a>. We saw how our main hero Tanggol (Coco Martin) attempted to begin his journey in freeing himself from living a crooked life and being belittled by Mokang (Lovi Poe) by finding a decent job. At the same time, the minds of avid viewers were also freed from being boggled about the real deal between Supremo (Lito Lapid) and Amanda (Lorna Tolentino).</p><p>The week commenced with the cremation of Greg (RK Bagatsing), in which Olga (Irma Adlawan) showed her sentimental side during her eulogy. She vowed to continue his unfinished business, avenge his death, and make her adoptive Montenegro family pay for it, too.</p><p>After their heated argument, David (McCoy de Leon) tried to make things right with his girlfriend Camille (Yukii Takahashi) by apologizing to her for how he reacted towards her revelation that she’s pregnant. She promised to take care of her and their baby, as well as expressing his excitement to be part of her family.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2678663"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>As his relationship with Mokang got strained again, Tanggol resolved to earnestly change his ways for the better by searching for a reputable job that would not only allow him to earn, but would make her proud of him, too. Of course, his friends joined him as well. As expected, they had a hard time finding one.</p><p>Rigor (John Estrada) finally moved to surrender the briefcase filled with high-grade cocaine to Police Lt. Col. Manuel Suarez (King Gutierrez) and was accompanied by his colleagues, led by his best friend PO1 Armando Mendoza (Allan Paule). Oblivious to the scheme of the lurking opponent, their troop got ambushed on their way to the precinct. Fortunately, they’re able to survive it and successfully delivered the briefcase.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2677050"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>There’s an oft-quoted aphorism that says, “Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer.” And this was what Olga did as she kicked off her plan of getting close to the family of Tanggol. She introduced herself as “Beng,” a suspicious customer who bought all their Black Nazarene images as her way of exacting revenge on Tanggol for murdering his son and making him feel how it is to lose loved ones. In order to further gain their trust, she offered to lend them money with a lower interest against other creditors.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2678667"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Upon learning about the promotion of Augustus Pacheco (Julio Diaz) to becoming Regional Director of NLEA for NCR, Supremo moved to finally take revenge on his archnemesis. Augustus, on the other hand, go through the profiles of the previous parolees and found out that Primo was among them.</p><p>With the help of Mama Janet (Janice Jurado), Mokang managed to land a job in another nightclub together with her best friend Chicky (Toni Fowler), wherein she was greeted by a group of mean girls led by Selene (Shanaia Gomez), who’s considered the star dancer. As they laughed at Mokang because of the way she danced, Mama Janet reminded them that they used to be like her when they were just starting and the time would surely come that she could replace her once she gets better someday. Threatened, Selene and her sidekicks went up the stage and demonstrated to the newbies how a show should be done.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2680336"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>After having a hard time get acceptance from other people and to secure a job, Tanggol and his friends finally managed to get decent jobs at a steel factory. Well, it came with a bit of deceiving, as he and Enteng (Jojit Lorenzo) told the manger that they have college diplomas and driver’s licenses, which are required to the positions they’re applying for.</p><p>Just when they thought that the odds are finally in their favor, they found themselves caught up in another trouble as they got themselves involved in the violent confrontation between Supremo’s gang and Augustus’ commando group. Despite Enteng’s reminder of their goal, Tanggol’s inherent heroic trait still prevailed in the end as he and majority of his friends agreed to intermeddle.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2681809"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>As Rigor mulled over his choice of surrendering the drugs to the authorities, Ramon (Christopher de Leon), meanwhile, sought the help of Police BGen. Rivas (Pontri Bernardo) in retrieving his briefcase, as well as the crates of drugs seized by the authorities during the wedding of Angkong’s (Joonee Gamboa) grandchild.</p><p>Rigor and Marites (Cherry Pie Picache) once again had an altercation after she disclosed that Tindeng and Noy were tailed by the drug syndicate while they were on the way to delivering the briefcase to Rigor at the hospital. He reprimanded her for not telling him about what she knew immediately as it didn’t allow him to prepare for what had happened to him and his colleagues that day. </p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2683337"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Itching to pass on the operations of their drug business, Olga was once again prodded by Ramon to tell him the whereabouts of his estranged son. She refused to tell him about it anew, since she’s cooking something up against him and their father Don Julio (Tommy Abuel), as well as to Tanggol.</p><p>Despite her fears, Camille finally mustered the courage to introduce David to her parents and to also confess about her pregnancy. However, instead of pleasantly accepting it, that ensued to a heated argument between her and her parents, who expressed their utter disappointment on her. Infuriated, her father vehemently kicked her out of their house, which truly shocked David because that is something that he didn’t expect.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2683338"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Since she’s new and fresh, Mokang piqued the interest of Congressman (Jong Cuenco) on her very first show. This would stir the exasperation and envy of Selene towards her, since the politician is her customer.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2683340"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Aside from being able to keep the drugs and obtain the ransom money, Supremo and his gang were also able to take Amanda with them at their hideout. This was when the mystery behind the real deal between them was finally uncovered. We found out that they used to work together under Augustus’ syndicate and was actually a couple in the past. Unfortunately, Augustus found out about their secret affair, which infuriated him and prompted him to order Primo’s murder.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2683347"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Upon learning about this via eavesdropping to Augustus’ conversation with one of his henchmen over the phone, Amanda immediately tipped the authorities regarding their operation that night as her way of saving Primo’s life. That led to his arrest, which made him extremely abhor Amanda for betraying him.</p><p>Amanda told Primo that while he was in jail, she also sacrificed her life outside by living with Augustus for two decades and following everything that he would ask her to do. Amanda confessed that she still loves him after all these years, but Primo apparently doesn’t trust her anymore (or just yet!) after everything that happened.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Comments from amused netizens</strong></div><p>It was indeed another exciting week for avid viewers of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/angprobinsyano" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano</u></strong></em></a> as we once again witnessed not just one, but two exhilarating skirmishes. The first one was the ambush attempt on Rigor and his colleagues as they were on their way to surrendering the briefcase of cocaine to their station, while the second one was between the groups of Supremo and Augustus, in which Tanggol and his friends got involved.</p><p>But what really thrilled fans the most this week is the unexpected appearance <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/pbbs10" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>Pinoy Big Brother Kumunity Season 10</u></strong></em></a> alumna Shanaia Gomez, who immediately impressed us with her portrayal of the antagonistic Selene. Thus, many are looking forward to see more of her on the show, especially her upcoming showdowns with Mokang.</p><p>At the same time, some viewers were also impressed by the wittiness and comedic chops of Toni Fowler, as attested by how she’s able to cleverly inject her current popular single in her lines.</p><p>Here are other amusing reactions from Kapamilya netizens that we spotted on Twitter:</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">grabe un galit ni Olga ktakot. magsisimula na tlga xa maghiganti. kng ano ang nasimulan n greg. xa ang magpapatuloy at tatapos. nkaka kaba nmn. grabe ang isang Irma Adlawan. napakahusay<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FPJBQHarangin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FPJBQHarangin</a></p>— marix💋💄 (@marhixz_18) <a href="https://twitter.com/marhixz_18/status/1668230381613768704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 12, 2023</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">tsk tsk tsk...kawawa naman si Camille...<br/><br/>David, manggagamit!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FPJBQHarangin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FPJBQHarangin</a></p>— Cathellya⁷ ☆★|🐳💜 (@katpurrincess) <a href="https://twitter.com/katpurrincess/status/1668232747024801792?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 12, 2023</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Grabee yong bakbakan nina Rigor at tauhan ni Ramon para lang makuha nila ang Case Buti nalang andiyan agad ang mga pulis para isuko ni Rigor ang Droga sa Presento.<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FPJBQHarangin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FPJBQHarangin</a></p>— Kristy Golez (@golez_kristy) <a href="https://twitter.com/golez_kristy/status/1668240943039000576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 12, 2023</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Wow, Shanaia Gomez on BQ!<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FPJBQHarangin?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FPJBQHarangin</a></p>— meldz0811 (@meldz0811) <a href="https://twitter.com/meldz0811/status/1668240597810044928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 12, 2023</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Hinhintay kong lumaban sina Chicky at Mokang doon sa mga mahaderang malditas! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/FPJBQBagongTrabaho?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#FPJBQBagongTrabaho</a></p>— Syndi (@endless_rants) <a href="https://twitter.com/endless_rants/status/1668965260563472385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 14, 2023</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Shanaia Gomez in FPJ&#x27;s &quot;Batng Quiapo&quot;... nice one!
