In keeping their promise to surprise viewers with intense twists and turns, FPJ’s Batang Quiapo has developed an unexpected ‘pairing’ between Lovi Poe and Christopher de Leon’s respective characters Mokang and Ramon.

And as two award-winning thespians, Lovi and Christopher have created just the right amount of tension and chemistry on-cam. Friday 5 collates their best scenes together in this video.

In the story, Ramon was mesmerized by Mokang's sultry dance number at the bar. After the performance, he caught her getting dragged by one of the patrons and her huge admirer Congressman Sevilla (Jong Cuenca) out of the cub to sleep with him for a night. Ramon entered the scene and became Mokang’s savior. She didn’t know his heroic save would trap her in bigger trouble.

Using his influence, he was able to invite Mokang as a special guest to his birthday celebration. And taking advantage of her desperation to raise funds for her father’s operation, Ramon gave Mokang an irresistible offer. He asked her to marry him, ignoring her sentiments about her wish to only marry the man she genuinely loves, and focus on her family’s needs instead of entering a dangerous and loveless relationship.

However, due to her financial burdens, Mokang was forced to sell her soul to Ramon. She trades her dignity with the money she desperately needs for Mang Marsing (Pen Medina)’s operation. She agreed to join Ramon for dinner, coming to his place in a luscious black dress. During their conversation, Ramon explained that he doesn’t intend to offend Mokang, and insisted that he likes her for real. As a sign of his sincere apology, he offered her a lavish necklace. Here, she was beginning to realize how special Tanggol (Coco Martin) is to her, but at the same time, she feels like giving in to Ramon’s offers is her only option.

The scene where she got vulnerable and surrendered herself to him was sincerely heartbreaking in that she was able to paint struggle and misery just through her eyes, while Christopher’s act manifested strong passion.

These actors didn’t have to say a word to convey their emotions – truly the mark of brilliance.

Don’t miss an episode of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, weeknights, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, TV5, and A2Z.
