Throughout your life, there&#x27;s often one person you see as perfect–the one you meet when you least expect it. And if circumstances weren’t so cruel, this person would be the one you’d choose to have a happily ever after with.TOTGA feels, right? That’s exactly the vibe that FacunDeng, or Facundo (Jaime Fabregas) and Tindeng (Charo Santos), delivered in recent episodes of the trending series “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</a>.”Not for anything, but we just can&#x27;t get enough of watching them together, thanks to their chemistry. Sadly, though, Facundo&#x27;s character was killed off in a recent episode, leaving those rooting for more scenes between him and Tindeng feeling a little heartbroken.But, cheer up! If you&#x27;re already missing their moments together, Kapamilya Toplist has got you covered with a compilation of their memorable scenes from &quot;<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</a>.&quot;Initially, Facundo found his family’s new helper, Tindeng, annoying. However, his impression of her changed when his wife, Bettina (Tessie Tomas), accused Tindeng of stealing her jewelry, and he quickly stepped in to defend Tindeng, knowing the accusations were false after discovering Bettina&#x27;s accessories scattered among her own things. Without hesitation, he reprimanded Bettina for her behavior and firmly stood by Tindeng’s side.We can say the incident broke the tension between them. What followed was a charming exchange, where Facundo humorously requested a pitcher of peace and quiet, teasing about his wife&#x27;s loud mouth getting on his nerves. And then, Tindeng responded with a smile, saying she would gladly fetch it for him. For the first time, the old man smiled back at her. He also asked what pushed her to leave her family behind, and then expressed admiration for her strength upon realizing that she only distanced herself from the people that had hurt her.Their chemistry truly sparked in a scene where Facundo, upon learning that Tindeng was headed to the market, volunteered to join her, saying he wanted to relive the simple joys of market days that he had long missed. In that moment, the tough and intimidating Facundo softened, allowing himself to open up to Tindeng about his humble beginnings. Tindeng, noticing the sadness in Facundo’s eyes, lightened up the mood by asking what was with his cowboy hat and why he always wore it. In return, Facundo cracked a joke, and then offered her fresh mangoes.The two found common ground in their shared love for their respective grandchildren. Both felt a deep longing for family, especially as Facundo mourned the loss of his grandson, Pablo (Elijah Canlas), while also dealing with the sadness of Katherine’s (Ara Davao) decision to move out after her marriage to Hesus/David (McCoy de Leon). Their conversations about their grandchildren created a comfortable space, allowing Tindeng to share anecdotes from Tanggol’s (Coco Martin) childhood—stories that surprisingly endeared her to Facundo. This exchange encouraged Facundo to open up about Katherine’s playful side as well, and in a moment of vulnerability, he found himself shedding tears over how much he missed his beloved &#x27;apo.&#x27;They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, and that couldn&#x27;t be more true for FacunDeng. In one scene, Tindeng prepared ginisang sardinas, which, to her surprise, Facundo enjoyed. They exchanged smiles, especially when Tindeng mentioned that it was the same recipe Katherine loved when she first made it for her. The moment felt light, with the two sharing a quiet warmth over something so simple.Seizing the opportunity, she gently asked him if she could take a day off to visit her family, whom she dearly missed. Facundo agreed without hesitation, but what surprised Tindeng even more was his decision to tag along, casually mentioning that he missed strolling around Quiapo, too.What seemed like a simple trip to Quiapo held a certain sweetness, especially when the two stopped to enjoy some street food—a rare experience for Don Facundo, one that only Tindeng had convinced him to try after all these years.As they wandered through the bustling tiangge, Facundo couldn’t help but watch Tindeng from afar, quietly admiring her as she browsed through the racks and found a dress she liked, but gracefully put the dress down when she learned the price was a little too steep for her. Little did she know, Facundo had noticed. In the next sequence, he handed her a paper bag with that exact dress inside. Tindeng, embarrassed at first, wanted to decline, but Facundo insisted it was no big deal. As soon as he walked away, she couldn’t resist peeking into the bag, and smile when she saw the dress.Tindeng became more than just a house helper—she was a true friend to Facundo. So, when the jealous Bettina finally had enough and kicked Tindeng and her best friend Noy (Lou Veloso) out of the Caballero mansion, Facundo boldly stood up for them and offered them a place to stay. It was Tindeng who reminded Facundo that everyone can rise above their mistakes. She told him she saw the good in him, which Facundo deeply appreciated, as she seemed to be the only person who recognized his good side despite all the wrong he had done.Our FacunDeng hearts shattered watching that &#x27;goodbye&#x27; scene, knowing it would be their final moment together. The pair expressed their regret over having so little time to get to know each other, but they were still grateful for the friendship they had built. All we could say was &quot;aww&quot; when he told her, &quot;Kung mabibigyan sana ako ng pagkakataong mabuhay muli, iksang katulad mo ang hahanapin ko.&quot; And the way they held back their tears while gazing into each other’s eyes made the moment even more heartbreaking.FacunDeng may be no more, but there&#x27;s still so much to look forward to in “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</a>”!
