<p>In the October 28 to November 1 episodes of “<strong><em><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></a></em></strong>,” we’d witnessed the highly emotional reunion of Tanggol (Coco Martin) and Marites (Cherry Pie Picache) that once again stirred audiences. At the same time, many were arguably surprised by the appearances of William Martinez, Anjo Yllana, Maverick Relova, Dagul, John Medina, and Jkhriez Pastrana, who are the newest set of additions to the ever-growing ensemble of the hit primetime series.</p><p>Despite being warned by his mother, Marites, to not get himself in trouble again and to not follow in the footsteps of his oldest brother Tanggol, Santino (Ronwaldo Martin) still pushed through in his newfound job as the newest member of the Tondo Boys. He was initially reluctant to join them upon finding out that they would sell illegal substances, but eventually agreed after Kidlat (Smugglaz) promised that nothing dangerous would happen to him and reminded him to just think that he would be doing this for his family.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPMB0CwoSNAxiLQ&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>Since it was his first time, he served as their lookout during their group’s operation in Quiapo. Unable to stomach the ways of the Tondo Boys after he witnessed Edwin (Ping Medina), Kidlat, and Teban (Bassilyo) gang up on a drug buyer who attempted to outmaneuver them, Santino walked out on them. But he immediately ran back to them after he saw the police arrived at the area where they were and relayed the information to them.</p><p>An intense gunfight ensued between the police and the Tondo Boys, in which Santino was compelled to hold a gun for the first time as his companions pressured him to fire back at the men in uniform. Just when they were about to get cornered, the other members of the Tondo Boys came to back them up and allowed them to escape. </p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPXaPxq08NMK-hS&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>As soon as they arrived at their hideout, Edwin vented his exasperation at Santino for being so cowardly, but Lucio (Ronnie Lazaro), Kidlat, and Teban came to the latter’s defense and praised his promising performance. This disheartened Santino, which prompted him to express his desire to quit again then he walked off. In their attempt to convince him to reconsider his decision, Teban and Kidlat chased Santino to hand him a huge amount of money and advised him that he can always come back.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPjRwXuBoEtFJuX&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>Meanwhile, the Red Phoenix’s drug business rival, the Montenegros, scrambled to protect their monopoly in Quiapo after they found out from their financial manager, Franco de Gallo (John Medina), that while their large-scale sales rise, their street-level sales continue to dip. With the help of the Olga’s (Irma Adlawan) new trusted righthand, Dindo (Rod Navarro Jr.), they found out that a new variant of drug called “red chaser” has emerged, which the ordinary drug users patronize since it&#x27;s purer and cheaper.</p><p>Olga presented it to Ramon (Christopher de Leon) and Don Julio (Tommy Abuel) and suggested to them that it would be better if it’s her who would work on it. Unfortunately for her, Ramon turned down her proposal and told her that it would be his son who should handle this matter. Thus, he asked her to call David (McCoy de Leon), who slept off a night of revelry and splurged all the money he inherited from the Caballeros, to come home as fast as he could.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPRS6fn_afTo-l_&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>Ramon reprimanded David for indulging himself while their business was struggling, then went on to assault him after his fake son reasoned out that the money he got from Caballeros was hard-earned by him. Ramon vowed to teach David a lesson by asking him to find out who’s pushing the new drug variant that tries to topple down their business.</p><p>An altercation then ensued between David and Olga after the latter struck a chord on the former as she told him how it’s really hard to pretend, especially since he knows that he can never match the skills of the real Tanggol. David, as a form of retaliation, insisted that he’s more powerful than Olga, now that he has gained more money.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPRT2ntzi1eEDG1&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>David met with Atty. Vera Saldivar (Maika Rivera) to discuss the Caballeros&#x27; wealth and sign some documents in order for him to claim the other assets of the Caballeros. He tried to make moves on her but the fierce lawyer refuse to completely ride along. Their conversation became personal as David initiated for them to talk about her career as a lawyer.</p><p>He was stunned when Vera mentioned that she once handled a case in which it was proven that it was the spouse who was the culprit behind the spouse’s demise – just like what he did to his late wife, Katherine (Ara Davao), and her entire family.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPjSHEoPWGKOwMN&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>On the other hand, Tanggol defended Madonna (Kim Domingo) from his friends who questioned her trustworthiness during one of their conversations, as they assumed that she could be an asset of the police. Afterwards, they were found shipping Tanggol and Madonna with each other as they saw the undeniable chemistry between them while they were talking. The two’s conversation continued on their way to Quiapo, wherein Tanggol opened up to the former about his relationship with his family.</p><p>Tanggol and his friends tagged Madonna along as they went back to Quiapo to visit their loved ones and to share their blessings with their neighbors. They were enthusiastically welcomed by people of Sandimas, who were grateful for the blessing they received from them.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPRRby-W2wwfdBt&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>While his friends were busy bonding with their respective families and distributing groceries and financial aid to their neighbors, Tanggol excitedly headed home to check on his mother. Unfortunately, Marites didn’t feel the same way about his surprise visit, as she angrily accused him of getting the money he just handed her from illegal schemes while repeatedly striking him.</p><p>Their reunion further went emotional after Marites was able to make him confess about shooting Rigor (John Estrada) during the police operations, in which he helped his friends escape from prison. She violently drove him away and told him to never go back again and forget that he still has a family, which compelled him to leave in exasperation.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPfZG9dNO3uNe_H&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>Seeing his friends having a great time with their respective families, Tanggol couldn’t help but feel envious and be emotional as he lamented on how he has been treated by his family ever since he was just a kid. As they sensed how dejected and furious Tanggol was, his friends immediately bade farewell to their loved ones and followed him.</p><p>Tanggol almost figured in a heated altercation with the motorist who almost hit him while he was crossing the street going back to his car. Fortunately, his friends and Madonna were able to stop the commotion, and they went straight to their newly acquired gambling den, where Divina (Rosanna Roces) and her minions were busy entertaining the guests.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAEyze-tm4MR6kEa&amp;cid=ABPjW0HQx5eDYo7A&amp;activation=click&amp;vip_mode=playing&amp;vip_position=bottom-right"></script></div><p>And among their guests that day were Tisay (Barbie Imperial), his father Reggie (William Martinez), and their two henchmen in their carnapping syndicate, Derek (Maverick Relova) and Michael (Anjo Yllana). Aside from trying to earn money through gambling, they also came there to look for luxury cars that they could steal and then sell.</p><p>Based on the tweets of Kapamilya netizens who got to watch the previous week’s (October 28 to November 1), she wasn’t able to contain their disgust on Marites anew as she refused to let Tanggol explain himself first before driving him away and telling him not to go back to their home ever again. At the same time, they also expressed their sympathies to Tanggol after getting disowned by his own mom, whom he thought had been on his side. The netizens were also all-praising to their barangay chairman (Rey Campanilla) and Roda (Joel Lamangan) for always giving their unsolicited yet sensible opinions to the members of the Dimaguiba family.</p><p>For sure, viewers are also curious to find out if the characters of Barbie Imperial, William Martinez, Anjo Yllana, and Maverick Relova are going to be boons or banes to Tanggol and his group. So, let’s just all find out in the coming episodes!</p><p>Here are some of the tweets about the previous week’s episodes of “<strong><em><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></a></em>”</strong> that we collated from X (formerly Twitter):</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Okray din si Tanggol.
