On Friday, fans moved a step closer towards understanding his dastardly actions after the show introduced his back story --a child consumed by envy. </p><p>It was all rather simple (if not overly): Bathala (Raymond Bagatsing) clearly favored his brother, Apo. He ran off after feeling unloved and accidentally unleashed his powers on the mortals --his father&#x27;s treasured creations. Fearing the possible consequences, he turns to his mother, Malaya (Kristine Hermosa). </p><p>The beautiful goddess turned out to be quite the rash one, confronting Bathala over his obsession with the mortals after seeing Sarimaw break down in tears. She made her husband decide between his responsibilities over the people of Sansinukob and his own family. </p><p>This resulted in Bathala imprisoning Malaya. He then told Sarimaw that the key to freeing his mother lies within Minokawa, a mythical bird he promised to have Apo inherit. </p><p>Flash forward and Sarimaw is grimacing in pain, weakened after suffering a near fatal blow from Ganda (Liza Soberano), one of the five baganis, or individuals imbued with superpowers. He vows to capture Lakas (Enrique Gil), the current wielder of Minokawa. </p><p>The rest of the episode showed Lakas still trying to figure out a way to return to Sansinukob after being caught by pirates, and Dumakulem (Makisig Morales), another Bagani, devising a plan to kill Sarimaw. </p>
