Watching two people commit a mortal sin in the form of adultery is truly infuriating. Thus, viewers of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo can feel their blood boil over Lena (Mercedes Cabral) and Rigor (John Estrada)’s secret affair shown in this Kapamilya Toplist video.

You know what they say about alcohol and hidden motives: “’Pag may alak, may balak.” Lena invited a very stressed-out Rigor to a drinking session. In their conversation over booze, she low-key persuaded him about the complexities of married life and dealing with in-laws, as if saying there’s a less complicated life if he only knows what to choose. She promised to always be there to listen, and asked him to drink more to forget about his problems. Taking advantage of Rigor’s drunkenness, she brought him to a motel room and started kissing him.

Rigor looked at it as just a one-night stand and said it was no big deal, at first. However, Lena subtly leveled up her flirting game. She knew that the most effective way to win an egotistical guy like Rigor is to inflate his ego, make him feel like he’s the best man in the world.

She would offer everything that would make him feel good, praising him a lot, especially when confronted with trouble at work. When he was suspended from work, she helped him request for reinstatement by writing a position letter. You'd know Lena had a secret motive when she invited Rigor to his house since the office was off-limits to him. There must be something special about her ‘adobo’ that he failed to stop himself from kissing her, leading to intimacy.

Even if he was aware of the wrongful possibilities, he continued confiding in her and visiting her at home to talk about his problems over bottles of alcohol. He didn’t even feel guilty when he started kissing her, instead, he willingly gave in as she led the way to her room.

Our ‘gigil’ flared up when the wannabe mistress acted like the legal wife, worrying a lot when Rigor got shot in an encounter, to the point of pushing Marites (Cherry Pie Picache) away. Even Tindeng (Charo Santos) and Noy (Lou Veloso) were alarmed by Lena’s extreme panic.

Like a true temptress, Lena strikes whenever Rigor is stressed out, weak, and vulnerable. It doesn’t matter where they are; she’d seduce him even while on duty at the police station. There was a scene where she touched him lovingly, seeing that he was problematic about Tanggol (Coco Martin)’s case. Mando (Allan Paule) entered the room and almost caught the traitors in the act.

Lena has been feeling unwell and dizzy in recent episodes, and Rigor has been so passionate about taking care of her. Remember that scene where he dropped her home? Of course, she made use of her ‘pabebe’ move to convince him to stay longer, and they started kissing each other. Mando, who just wanted to bring Lena food, was the first person to catch the secret lovers in the act.

When will Lena and Rigor get punished for their sin? Don’t miss an episode of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo, weeknights, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, TV5, and A2Z.
