Wanting to apologize for his behavior, Miguelito, alongside his mother Jackie (Angel Aquino), went to the bustling, tightly packed neighborhood where Fatima and her family live.</p><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABZiUIXmVX8HNqkc"></script></div><p>Here’s a behind-the-scenes ‘pasilip’ of how that very busy highlight was filmed. Andrea and Angel shared a sweet reunion, while Jake, just like his character, was getting along with everyone on set. There was a part of the whole sequence where his character was joking around with the extras and even joined a group of &#x27;tambays&#x27; at the corner for a quick drink. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKHKifpz7By/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=440&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A2508019.100000024%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1006" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" 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>The production team made sure every detail felt authentic, especially the neighborhood environment, which looked typical of Manila’s inner-city slums. There were nosy neighbors peeking, ‘tambays’ lounging around, and makeshift stalls crowding the alleys. Since Miguelito’s visit had that subtle political undertone, the art department came up with campaign paraphernalia like posters to make it more believable.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKJbNmcTIIv/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=440&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A2508031.899999976%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="988" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" 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 because it involved a whole community, there were plenty of background talents on set, so the directors had to plan the blocking carefully to make sure the flow of the scene stayed smooth and natural despite the organized chaos.</p><p>Now that Miguelito is inching his way back into Fatima’s life, could this also mean that her world will soon collide again with Tanggol (Coco Martin)&#x27;s?</p><p>Don&#x27;t miss an episode of &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo"><strong><u><em>FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo</em></u></strong></a>,&quot; airing weeknights, on kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), TV5, and A2Z.</p>
