In the latest episodes of “FPJ's Batang Quiapo,” viewers were left heartbroken as the beloved characters Facundo, played by Jaime Fabregas, and Tindeng, portrayed by Charo Santos, shared an emotional farewell, marking what many fans consider their "huling pagkikita.” This was after Facundo’s wife, Bettina (Tessie Tomas), fired Tindeng as their family’s house helper.
Their unexpected chemistry and dynamic have truly stuck a chord with audiences. So, to bring a smile to the faces of those who adore FacunDeng’s on-screen connection, we’ve gathered some endearing off-cam photos and clips from the set, showing just how much these veteran actors enjoy their taping days.
If you’re asking for behind-the-scenes look at how the gut-wrenching 'goodbye' was filmed, here it is!
Despite the heartbreaking nature of the moment, the chemistry between Facundo and Tindeng, or FacunDeng as fans love to call them, was undeniable. You could almost feel that in-another-life ‘feels’ as they exchanged lines that tugged at our heartstrings.
Even Charo knows how invested viewers are in this unexpected pair, which is probably why she posted the clip herself on Instagram, captioned with a playful “maybe this time o maybe next time?” Aww, so cute! And just when you thought the drama was too much to handle, the clip also showed a lighter side—during break, Jaime and Charo were spotted getting so giddy on set, probably dancing to a TikTok trend. Seeing them switch from emotional farewells to just having fun? So adorable!
In another short reel, we get a sneak peek of what a day on set looks like with these two icons, and trust us—it’s all about good vibes! The video shows Charo and Jaime casually poring over their script, but what really steals the spotlight is their contagious laughter. They sure knows how to crack up over little moments and share inside jokes, making their chemistry just as strong, if not stronger, than what we see on screen!
One big reason they love coming to work so much is the vibe of the set! With the fresh air, scenic probinsya feels, and super relaxing environment, who wouldn’t look forward to filming? It’s like a mini-vacation while they’re doing what they love. You can see them in the photos, enjoying the downtime between takes, soaking up the chill countryside energy. No wonder they always seem so happy and refreshed!
Plus, the chill work days wouldn’t be complete without the amazing company of Lou Veloso, who plays Noy in the story, the directors, and the entire staff and crew. Everyone’s super friendly, and they’re like one big happy family! It’s the people that make work feel like home, right?
On a side note, we’re all heart-eyes over these classy shots of Charo sitting gracefully, script in hand, like the queen she is. Netizens couldn’t help but playfully compare them to her iconic moments from “Maalaala Mo Kaya,” where she would sit at the start of each episode reading letters filled with life stories.
Speaking of remembering–will FacunDeng still remember each other, now that things are heating up in the trending teleserye, “FPJ's Batang Quiapo”?
We hope their story is far from over!
