Aside from either seeing action or drama (sometimes both), an episode of &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</a>&quot; seems to never be complete without viewers getting peeved by the father-and-son tandem of Rigor and David, compellingly portrayed by John Estrada and McCoy de Leon. We can all perhaps agree that they never fail to get on our nerves with how cunning, manipulative, and arrogant both of them are, especially when it comes to their partners and family.But in this edition of Kapamilya Toplist, we would be focusing only on David, whose pretense as his half-brother Tanggol (Coco Martin) has finally come to an end after their mother, Marites (Cherry Pie Picache), and the latter’s biological dad, Ramon (Christopher de Leon), figured out his deception. Brace yourselves as these 15 scenes would definitely rouse your gigil towards him all over again!Among David’s earliest annoying moments was when he took advantage of his drunk girlfriend, Camille (Yuki Takahashi), who was shocked upon realizing that something happened to them while she was unconscious. As she expressed disappointment, David assured her that she’s the only girl he loves and wishes to marry someday—but we all knew that it was a lie since he eventually turned sour towards her after he got her pregnant.Since Camille’s parents disowned her and kicked her out of their house, David had no choice but to take her home in Quiapo and to juggle work with his studies in order to support her and their unborn child’s needs. He tried working as a barista but immediately quit after he figured in an altercation with a customer and his manager due to his arrogance.  His haughtiness got worse when he started earning big through helping Olga (Irma Adlawan) carry out her plans against the Montenegros by posing as his half-brother Tanggol (Coco Martin), who turned out to be the long-lost heir of their family that they’d been searching for. David got more pompous and disrespectful towards his family—except for his father, Rigor (John Estrada), whom he admires so much—as he belittled them for being freeloaders. He also maltreated Camille a lot of times but was able to get out of trouble since he always succeeded in gaslighting her.Along with his becoming ultrarich, David also became fervidly evil as he ruthlessly killed every person that would attempt to obstruct him and Olga in attaining their mutual goal of finishing off the Montenegros and embezzling their wealth, such as Ramon’s most trusted right-hand, Severino (Dindo Arroyo). He also willingly obliged to Señora Bettina Caballero’s (Tessie Tomas) wish for Bubbles (Ivana Alawi) to be killed, assuming that it was she who was the mastermind behind the murder of her and Don Facundo’s (Jaime Fabregas) beloved grandson, Pablo (Elijah Canlas).David did that as his way of further gaining Bettina&#x27;s favor in order for him to be betrothed to their granddaughter Katherine (Ara Davao) and be assigned as their new heir following the demise of Pablo. As Camille tried to get in his way upon learning about his and Katherine’s wedding, he didn’t hesitate to physically and verbally assault her to stop her from showing up at the ceremony.As if that wasn’t enough, David totally finished Camille off while she was admitted to the hospital by pulling out all the medical paraphernalia attached to her and suffocating her with a pillow, which caused her death. This happened the very same night of his honeymoon with Katherine, wherein he physically and sexually abused her.It might be Olga who brought him to the huge opportunity he was savoring, but David still disrespected her even after she died as he volunteered to hack her with a bolo on behalf of Ramon as his way of exacting vengeance against her for all the nasty things that she did to him.Even though he was already exposed by Tanggol and his friends, David still tried to save himself by denying the former’s accusation. He also unbelievably mustered the courage to come face to face with Ramon during their bloody encounter in Quiapo despite what he had done to him and even had the gall to rub it in to Ramon that an ordinary person like him was able to fool him.And lastly, David probably piqued viewers during his conversation with Rigor in the hospital as he weaved a series of lies again just to earn his praises and trust. He told him that he had no choice but to do everything that Olga and Ramon wanted him to do because he was afraid that they would do something bad to him and their family just to come clean. And he—unsurprisingly—succeeded as Rigor believed in every word he said and even commended him for showing bravery in protecting their family.These are indeed blood-boiling, right? Well, you better brace for more since David is very much alive and eager to retaliate against Ramon and Tanggol as &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo">FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</a>&quot; enters its new chapter!
