As the narrative thickens, viewers come to realize that Facundo (Jaime Fabregas) and Bettina (Tessie Tomas) didn’t marry out of love but rather due to financial motives. This loveless union reveals its harsh consequences through the couple’s incessant, fiery arguments that echo through their mansion like thunder. Their home has become a battleground where every discussion is fraught with tension, each interaction a potential trigger for conflict.Compiled by Kapamilya Toplist, let us re-watch their more intense confrontations and fights from <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">“FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.”</a>In the first scene, Facundo&#x27;s irritation becomes evident when he reminds Bettina to be cautious about the people she talks to, warning her about those who might take advantage. This leads to Facundo getting annoyed as Bettina sarcastically responds, insisting that she&#x27;s merely trying to accumulate good deeds to secure her place in heaven by helping others. Facundo&#x27;s temper flares even more when he discovers that their eldest grandchild, Pablo (Elijah Canlas), is still asleep late into the morning, accusing Bettina of spoiling him, which is why he’s neglecting his family responsibilities.When Pablo gets into trouble, like when he attacks Hesus/David (McCoy de Leon) of the Montenegro clan, Facundo blames Bettina. He believes she&#x27;s the one responsible for raising Pablo to become the irresponsible and useless guy he sees. Bettina, of course, staunchly defends her beloved grandson.Their treatment of their granddaughter Katherine (Ara Davao) is quite the opposite. Facundo sides with her, while Bettina holds a grudge against her. They even argued in front of their grandchildren when Bettina scolded Katherine for coming home late. Facundo believes Katherine is at the age to socialize and thinks Bettina is overreacting.They often clash due to their differing styles in raising their grandchildren. Bettina is very strict, often suffocating the children with rules and restrictions in their lives. On the other hand, Facundo prefers to let them explore and enjoy their youth freely. When Bettina warns that Pablo and Katherine will go to hell if they go astray, Facundo fires back, saying the real hell is having to listen to her constant nagging.They also have different opinions about Hesus/David&#x27;s courtship of Katherine. Bettina&#x27;s mindset revolves around money, so she encourages Katherine to marry the wealthy Hesus. On the other hand, Facundo not only opposes dictating his granddaughter&#x27;s choices but also distrusts Hesus/David due to his involvement in the world of syndicates.Their argument about marriage reflects the kind of relationship they have. Facundo insists that he doesn&#x27;t want Katherine to marry a man she doesn&#x27;t love, but Bettina casually responds that marriage is never about feelings. She points out that their marriage is proof—they married not out of love but for money.Their brutal discussions spare no place or time, as even during breakfast, they clash again when Bettina insists on pushing Katherine towards Hesus, which Facundo perceives as manipulation.Because they don&#x27;t truly care for each other, Facundo has no patience for Bettina&#x27;s trivialities and fussiness. For instance, he gets irritated when she complains over their helper, Tindeng (Charo Santos), allegedly breaking one of her angel figurines.Similarly, Bettina doesn&#x27;t trust all of Facundo&#x27;s decisions, such as when he gambles again on their employee Marcelo (Nonie Buencamino), despite Bettina&#x27;s lingering distrust due to Marcelo&#x27;s previous failures. She concludes their verbal fights with a mocking laugh, warning Facundo not to blame her if he loses a significant amount of money again because of his reinvestment in Marcelo.Recently, their disputes have also involved Tindeng, especially when Bettina made things difficult for her during mansion cleaning. Facundo argued that if something happens to Tindeng due to her health issues, they will be the ones facing the consequences of the trouble. He taunts Bettina, suggesting that her actions might diminish her &quot;heaven points&quot; for causing hardship to others.Facundo&#x27;s lack of affection for Bettina is evident in the look of disgust on his face when he sees her hypocrisy upon learning that Hesus is coming to their house. When Katherine finally admits that she has no feelings for Hesus, Bettina doesn&#x27;t hesitate to assert that Katherine&#x27;s role in their family is simply to find a wealthy spouse.They finally clash over this topic, with Facundo bluntly stating that he doesn&#x27;t want Katherine to end up like him, marrying someone she doesn&#x27;t love. Hurt, Bettina retorts tearfully that the feeling is mutual—after all, Facundo doesn&#x27;t truly understand what love means.Stay tuned for what unfolds next in Facundo and Bettina&#x27;s relationship in the upcoming episodes of <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo">&quot;FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,”</a> which airs weeknights, on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-channel-livestream-12685">Kapamilya Channel,</a> <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/kapamilya-online-live-12710">Kapamilya Online Live</a>, TV5, and A2Z.
