<p>Slowly walking away from a life of crime and trying to find a path toward redemption, we can say that Fatima (Andrea Brillantes), a notorious scammer and thief, is now at a turning point in &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo</em></u></strong></a>.&quot; She said she’s done with the chaos after those intense episodes where she kidnapped Tanggol (Coco Martin) in a desperate move to raise funds for her brother’s bail. It was a dangerous act, but one that forced her character to confront the consequences of her choices.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABYo_olAnQklrM-V"></script></div><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABXu8WD6x6ySJhsO"></script></div><p>And as Fatima’s storyline deepens, Andrea seems to be growing even more comfortable on the set as well. In fact, she’s bringing her TikTok Queen persona along with her. The Kapamilya star&#x27;s youthful energy is hard to miss, and even harder to resist. She&#x27;s truly a ball of Gen Z charm, whose vibe is so infectious that even veteran co-stars can’t help but join in on the fun.</p><p>Here are just a few of her most entertaining TikTok moments straight from the “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo"><strong><u><em>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</em></u></strong></a>” locations. </p><p>The first clip is a trend that feels tailor-fit for her character. Andrea takes on the viral “The Only Ex I Want” challenge, dancing to the upbeat track with the lyrics, “The only ex I want is extra money.” With Fatima’s schemer past, this reel couldn’t be more on brand. The sass, the moves, the money-minded mindset—it’s so Fatima!</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJd5qSpzNUB/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=441&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A594796.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A247379.20000004768%2C%22le%22%3A247729.60000014305%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="899" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Andrea also made a video to show &quot;Mother&#x27;s Day&quot; love to veteran actress Shamaine Buencamino, who plays her mom Gracia in the teleserye. The two danced to the “Me Jalo” trend, perfectly mirroring each other’s moves. Andrea even captioned it with a wink to their characters, describing Gracia as “nanay na madiskarte” and Fatima as “ako na maparaan at mahilig rumaket.”</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-5" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJgwMSKzBHo/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=441&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A5%2C%22os%22%3A594817.2999999523%2C%22ls%22%3A247379.20000004768%2C%22le%22%3A247729.60000014305%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="917" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-5" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Still in Fatima mode, she also posted a clip where she looks confused and cornered by desperation. It was a playful take on her character’s spiral before deciding to kidnap Tanggol.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-6" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIyMTGNzeg1/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=441&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A6%2C%22os%22%3A594830.100000143%2C%22ls%22%3A247379.20000004768%2C%22le%22%3A247729.60000014305%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="917" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-6" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>And if the next video is any hint of where Fatima’s arc might be headed, we’re more than intrigued. In the clip, Andrea goes sultry and fierce, rocking bold red lips, intense stares, and even using her phone like a gun. It’s a side of Fatima we haven’t fully seen in the teleserye yet, but if that transformation’s coming, we&#x27;re so excited!</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-7" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DHasKluTtnQ/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=441&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A7%2C%22os%22%3A597147.600000143%2C%22ls%22%3A247379.20000004768%2C%22le%22%3A247729.60000014305%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1007" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-7" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Fatima&#x27;s videos are serving charm and good vibes! We hope Andrea keeps ‘em coming!</p>
