<p>In the previous week’s (April 15 to  April 19) episodes of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></strong></em></a>, we found ourselves feeling various emotions anew. We were stunned to witness the scuffle between mortal nemeses David and Pablo, while the tandem of Bubbles and Tanggol amused and got us <em>kilig</em> as they spent the day together in Quiapo.</p><p>Just when David (McCoy de Leon), a.k.a. “fake Tanggol,” was already enjoying the company of his new “apple of the eye” Catherine (Ara Davao), the young lady had to leave early from their dinner date as she was fetched by her brother Pablo (Elijah Canlas), who was furious upon the sight of David and Catherine coming out of the restaurant together. Pablo immediately alighted from their car and threw punches at David, which resulted in an intense fisticuff between them in which it was David who won.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3013503"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>As soon as they arrived home, Pablo berated his sister for getting involved with his mortal nemesis and asked their grandma, Señora Bettina (Tessie Tomas) to reprimand Catherine. But instead of doing so, Bettina expressed her support for the relationship of Catherine with the fake Tanggol since he came from an affluent family who are also their ally and even asked Catherine to invite him to come over to their house. Meanwhile, Don Julio (Tommy Abuel) and Ramon (Christopher de Leon) also conveyed their support to David since their relationship could be good for their business partnership.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3013511"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>On his second day back to the outside world, Tanggol (Coco Martin) decided to visit his friend Ben (Mark Lapid) and his group to ask for any update about their hunt for Mokang’s (Lovi Poe) husband, who he firmly believes is the one who shot her to death. Afraid that he would once again get in trouble, Bubbles (Ivana Alawi) offered to accompany him.</p><p>When they were about to leave, he spotted Olga (Irma Adlawan), a.k.a. Beng, dining at the roadside eatery of Bubbles’ grandmother. Of course, she pretended to be concerned about him and that she was happy for his emancipation, as well as told him made-up stories, which Tanggol easily believed in. She was also able to make him confess where he buried the remains of Mokang after she unintentionally shot her.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3014813"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>She promised to give him any update about the Montenegros, as well as to not inform his mother, Marites (Cherry Pie Picache), regarding his whereabouts since he wanted to prove himself before coming back to them. She also tried to have an interaction with her daughter Samantha, which is the biological name of Bubbles, yet she seemed to be not fully interested and asked Tanggol to hurry up.</p><p>As soon as they left, Olga’s mood instantly changed and vowed to make him pay if something bad will happen to her <em>unica hija</em>. Little she did know that Bubbles was actually dubious of her as she warned her about putting his full trust in her despite not completely knowing her.</p><p>All the hardwork that Rigor (John Estrada) and Mando (Allan Paule) put into their investigation regarding the anomalies at the National Correctional Facility (NCF) finally paid off as General Pacheco (Julio Diaz) through Col. Suarez (King Gutierrez), greenlit the arrest of Chief Espinas (Jaclyn Jose) by giving them a warrant of arrest. They and their troop didn’t waste any time to apprehend her at her office, which happened smoothly and peacefully.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3015488"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>During their meeting with Primo (Lito Lapid) and his group, which includes Ben, Berting (Joey Marquez), and Amanda (Lorna Tolentino), Tanggol was warned by them that the person he has been looking for is powerful and wealthy so being brave is not enough to topple them down. Seeing himself in Tanggol and his potential to become a better man, Primo and Amanda agreed to help him in finding Mokang’s husband and exacting revenge on him. Turko (Benzon Dalina) offered his gun to him just in case he will bump into Mokang’s husband, but Tanggol declined it in his pursuit of fulfilling his promise of living a new life.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3015507"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>As they headed to the Quiapo Church, Tanggol consulted a fortune-teller to find out the whereabouts of his grandmother Tindeng (Charo Santos) and Noy (Lou Veloso). However, Aling Virgie was only able to assure him that Tindeng is just fine wherever she is and they will get reunited someday in Quiapo.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3016509"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>She also read his palm and told him that he’s bound to live an abundant and successful life, yet he has to face challenges before getting there. At the same time, she also found out about Bubbles’ secret admiration for him, which annoyed Bubbles. Even though it was true, she strongly denied it and blurted out right in Tanggol’s face that she would never fall in love with him.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3016510"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>That evening, the Montenegros met with the Caballeros at their casino not just to talk about business, but also the recent scuffle between David and Pablo and the brewing romance between David and Catherine. As David expressed his intention of wooing Catherine, Don Facundo (Jaime Fabregas) said that he would not hinder him, but he would never force her to be with him.</p><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="06b9cac5decc13edae3497a22831561a" data-ivs-spid="3001384" data-ivs-vid="3016508"></ivs-player> <script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div><p>His eagerness to pursue his dream of becoming a boxer compelled Santino (Ronwaldo Martin) to lie about being permitted by his parents to fight when quizzed anew by Coach Gary (Levi Ignacio).
