Expect things to become explosive when the legal wife and mistress come face to face. In “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” Marites (Cherry Pie Picache) and Lena (Mercedes Cabral) deliver confrontations that are anything but tame. Their clashes are scandalous spectacles, with no regard for whether their neighbors will gossip, as long as they can vent their fury and expose each other's faults.
Whether it's a public face-off or a private showdown in their shared house, their encounters are packed with raw emotion and high-stakes drama, as shown in this Friday 5 video from "FPJ's Batang Quiapo."
In the first scene, Marites unleashed her inner beast when she caught her husband Rigor (John Estrada) and his paramour, Lena, red-handed in the latter’s house. Furious, she dragged Lena out and exposed her to her neighbors. Although the mistress dared to fight back, and the cheating husband’s gaslighting skills came in handy, there’s nothing as satisfying as getting revenge on the 'other woman' with at least a strong slap and hair-pulling act, right?
The audacity of these two cheaters is astonishing! Rigor shamelessly moved his mistress, Lena, into the house he shares with his wife, Marites, without a care for the chaos it would cause. Naturally, with both the 'number one' and 'number two' under the same roof, clashes between the two women are inevitable. In one explosive scene, Marites was stunned to find Lena in their home and immediately lashed out with a slap.
When questioned about her lack of decency, Lena brazenly insisted she had every right to stay in the house since Rigor was the one who brought her there. Lena even went as far as to say that Marites should be the one ashamed, accusing her of clinging to a man who no longer wants her.
In this series of heated 'harapan', Lena often plays the victim card. As expected, Rigor sides with Lena and even goes as far as to slap Marites, revealing the shocking truth that Lena is pregnant. Marites is devastated by this revelation, her world collapsing with the news.
Another round of ‘bardagulan’ transpired the next morning when Lena used her pregnancy to play the victim again. I’m sure your blood boiled when Lena claimed Rigor's house as her own, arguing that Rigor invited her to live there. Marites, standing her ground as the legitimate wife, insisted on her rightful place. However, Lena taunted that she would eventually take the crown from Marites.
We bet you wanted to break your screens in 'gigil' when Lena ordered the pregnant Camille (Yukii Takahashi) to do the laundry. And when she arrogantly stated that she couldn't do it because she's pregnant, Marites fired back, “Ano’ng akala mo kay Camille, busog?” In another sequence, Lena even went as far as buying her kitchen appliances to engage in a cooking cook-off with Marites. With a mocking laugh, she taunted Marites, remarking that her cooking looks as dull as she is.
In the final scene of the montage, Marites and Lena had a heated argument in front of Rigor, who only escalated the situation by announcing he would split his salary between his "two families." This decision sparked a fierce debate over financial support, with Lena demanding a larger share. The tension reached a boiling point as they battled over who deserved more of Rigor's income.
