Arrogant. Check!Brutal. Check!Condescending. Check!Disdainful. Check!Egotistic. Check!<div> </div>As he possesses all these displeasing qualities, there&#x27;s no doubt that Congressman Miguelito Guerrero, the character compellingly portrayed by seasoned actor Jake Cuenca in “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo</a>,” is indeed one of the most abhorred yet notable nemeses that our primetime hero, Tanggol (Coco Martin), has ever encountered.He may tend to get on our nerves in almost every episode, this only proves that Jake is such an effective actor for he succeeds in his mission to pique viewers with his annoying personality and vile acts.We may not want to make your blood boil but brace yourselves to be enraged as we gathered 10 of the most irksome scenes of Jake as Miguelito in this edition of Kapamilya Toplist!Let us begin with Miguelito&#x27;s intense encounter with Tanggol and his friends at the party mounted by Don Julio (Tommy Abuel) and Ramon (Christopher de Leon) for Tanggol as they introduced him as the legitimate heir of the Montenegro clan. Miguelito made a grand entrance by haughtily brandishing a gun and pointing it to each of Tanggol&#x27;s friends until Tanggol came to put him in his place by snatching the gun from him and pointing it back to him.As we all know, his face off with Tanggol didn&#x27;t end there as they seemed to have a rematch during the election campaigns as they both joined the mayoralty race in Manila.As both of their camps arrived at the same time at the city hall to file their respective certificates of candidacy, Miguelito immediately took a swipe at Tanggol by belittling his credentials and the heroic deed that he had recently done in a barangay that he and his team had visited in Quiapo.   To further discourage voters from choosing his rival, Miguelito disparaged him by pompously telling everyone that he is way better than him in terms of intellect and educational background–which his aunt and Tanggol&#x27;s running mate as vice mayor, Olivia Guerrero (Chanda Romero), claimed to be false. The arrogance of Miguelito was indeed overflowing as he continued to hurl insults at Tanggol and his team by telling them that they would never have the chance to assume any position at the city hall. Besides, he also implied that Tanggol&#x27;s main purpose of running for office was not really to help alleviate the lives of the people of Manila but to gain more money. As Don Julio tried to stop him from blabbing and advised him to fight fair and square, Miguelito clapped back at him by making him &#x27;fess up about their illegal ventures, which he alleged are now being managed by Tanggol. He then reiterated that Tanggol really had no match to him because aside from being inexperienced in politics, he is just an ordinary man full of confidence yet with no intelligence.Apart from Tanggol, Miguelito also had intense confrontations with Tanggol&#x27;s younger brother, David (McCoy De Leon), who, as we all know, was as conceited and annoying as him. Their paths crossed at a gambling hub where David challenged him to play blackjack.Since it was their first encounter, Miguelito, of course, didn&#x27;t immediately believe in the claims of David and his lawyer-cum-partner-in-crime Atty. Vera Saldivar (Maika Rivera) that they had the assets of the fallen Caballero family, so he iterated to them that he is a congressman, and they must not fool him.Unfortunately for David, his haughtiness brought him to danger, as Miguelito and his henchmen made David and Vera suffer after their tandem lost in their game and they failed to pay the amount that they owed him. Miguelito beat David up and shot him on the leg until he could longer move on his own and retaliate at them. At the same time, Miguelito also tried to test David and Vera&#x27;s loyalty to one another by challenging them to kill each other, but it was Vera who got murdered by David in the end. Do these scenes of Miguelito make you hate or love Jake Cuenca more? Well, it seems that we&#x27;re going to see more of him in the next episodes, so we better get ready to be annoyed and mad every night. Watch out for Jake in the upcoming episodes of “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FPJ&#x27;s Batang Quiapo</a>,” weeknights at 8 PM on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, and TV5.
