<p>Last week’s episodes of <strong><a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo" target="_blank"><em><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></em></a></strong> didn’t fall short in thrilling us and touching our hearts as we witness some of the characters go through hard-hitting predicaments.</p><p>Mokang (Lovi Poe) strongly rejects Ramon’s (Christopher de Leon) marriage proposal since she isn’t ready yet to be in a relationship and she’s putting her family first at the moment. He offered to help her with her problems, but she still did not accept it and quickly left. Despite the rejection, this further stimulated him to win her over by expressing his willingness to woo and wait for her.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2732976"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Olga finally presented David (McCoy de Leon) to Ramon, introducing him as his long-lost son. As Ramon declared that he knows to his heart that he is not his son since he didn’t feel the <em>lukso ng dugo</em> that he felt at that moment that he saw Tanggol (Coco Martin), Olga (Irma Adlawan) kept on insisting that he’s indeed the eldest child of the woman that he raped a long time ago. David also introduced himself as Jesus Nazareno Dimaguiba, which is the real name of Tanggol, and told him that his father, Rigor (John Estrada), is a policeman. Thus, he suggested for them to conduct a DNA test in order for them to find out.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2732981"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>In order to further convince Ramon to believe that David is indeed his estranged son and that she has no ulterior motives in doing so, Olga tried to use <em>pathos</em> on him by reminding him of the sacrifices she made and how her own son died in pursuit of winning his favor. But, as we all know, he cannot be easily swayed.  </p><p>As Marsing’s (Pen Medina) condition worsen, he has to undergo an operation as soon as possible that would require them to shell out a whopping amount of money. This would also push Mokang to finally accept the proposal of Ramon, a.k.a. Alberto Frias, as he promised to give her everything that she will need in exchange for marrying him. This ensued to an altercation between Mokang and Tanggol as he tried to stop her from completely offering her body in order to obtain the amount their family needs to save her father.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2732980"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>Seeing how crestfallen his friend is, Enteng (Jojit Lorenzo) consoled Tanggol by telling him that they couldn’t do anything to help her in her current predicament, unless he’s able to find an opportunity that could give him instant big money. He may also opt to look for another woman that he can love, but Tanggol said that it would be impossible since it’s her he has been dreaming of. Since that’s the case, Enteng told him that he must be prepared to endure and get hurt, as well as look for a job that will make him filthy rich, so that he would be able to provide all her needs and convince her to completely leave her present job.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2734544"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2734551"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>As Mokang was still befuddled on what she should do, Janet (Janice Jurado) persuaded her to accept the proposal of Ramon/Alberto and set aside her principles because it wouldn’t solve her problems. And it seemed that she finally made up her mind as it can be seen in the teaser for next week’s episodes that she went to Ramon’s mansion all dolled up.</p><p>Tanggol tried to borrow money from Berting to help Mokang, but the latter wasn’t able to help him since he’s also having financial problems after losing his other side hustles because of the trouble that the former and his friends got embroiled in. He advised that while it’s okay to help others, he should not do it at his own expense, to the point that he would carry it as well. He also commended him for being intentional in his goal of living a new life and leaving his old misdeeds behind.</p><p>At the Montenegro mansion, David continued to put on a show as he got interviewed by Don Julio and Ramon while having their breakfast. He told him how Rigor has treated him well ever since he was a kid, as well as how he’s been proud of him and even wanted him to be a policeman like him – which, as we all know, is totally far from what Tanggol has experienced. He also expressed his hesitations on being part of Montenegros since he loves his Dimaguiba family so much.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="2737698"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>After Olga and David had a tete-a-tete regarding their wicked schemes, the DNA results finally arrived, indicating that David and Ramon are 99.99% paternally related. However, Ramon refused to believe it as he still banks on <em>lukso ng dugo</em>.</p><div> </div><div><strong>Hyped up comments from netizens</strong></div><p>Last week’s episodes of<strong> <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo" target="_blank"><em><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></em></a> </strong>had been filled with heavy emotions as we witnessed how some of the characters get through the challenges in life.</p><p>But despite the harrowing events, we couldn’t help but be touched by the genuine bond among some of the characters. Seeing how loyal, understanding, and supportive Chicky (Toni Fowler) and Enteng (Jojit Lorenzo) are to their best friends Mokang and Tanggol, respectively, viewers are surely moved, making them wish that they have people like them in their lives, too. The same with how Tanggol has been so unconditionally caring and concerned about Mokang and her family’s woes even though she has shooed him away over and over again.</p><p>Furthermore, the netizens also expressed how stunned they were with the dramatic flair that the actors showed in the previous week’s episodes. Among them are Lovi Poe, who wowed us with how she nailed her heavily emotional scenes, and McCoy de Leon, who impressed us with how he flawlessly shifted from one facet to another.</p><p>As they’re rooting for Tanggol and Ramon to finally bumped into each other and find out the truth about their real connection, viewers fervently wish that Ramon will not completely fall into Olga and David’s lair.</p><p>The use of Gary Valenciano’s heartfelt rendition of the OPM classic “Walang Kapalit” also didn’t fail to wrench the hearts of many as it made the scenes of Mokang and Tanggol more painful and dramatic.</p><p>Here are some of the hyped up tweets from netizens that we spotted on Twitter throughout the entire week:</p><div> </div><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="tl">Yung pag-aalala at pagsama ni Tanggol sa mga problema na kinakaharap ni Mokang ay nakakatuwa lang na talagang pinapatunayan nyang ket mahirap sya ay handa nyang samahan ito sa lahat ng saya at kalungkutan. <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/MoNggol?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#MoNggol</a> ftw please!
