Like a lion to its cub, a brother will protect and play father-figure to his younger sister. That’s how Tupe (Gerald Anderson) loves Hannah (Alexa Ilacad) that despite the bitter past, he will never stop taking care of her. Check out this Kapamilya Toplist that rounds up the scenes where Tupe proved himself the best Kuya in the Kapamilya teleserye Init Sa Magdamag.
The Salcedo family was far from perfect. They were often the talk of the town due to corrupt allegations against Miguel (Joey Marquez). It affected Hanna so much. She was bullied and she often engaged in catfights to defend her father. Tupe was the only one who would understand and try to save her from the consequences of their family’s bad reputation.
Tupe and Hannah used to be best friends until he fell for Rita (Yam Concepcion) and left everything behind including his family to pursue their relationship. His decision broke Hannah’s heart and they grew estranged since.
But Tupe was determined to be the best brother to Hannah. Besides, they only have each other to call family. So no matter how many times she pushes him away, Tupe will take on his duties. More than looking after Hannah and providing for her needs, which she doesn’t really appreciate, Tupe tries to shape his sister’s character.
He teaches her accountability and humility. In a scene, he told her that he’s still the one responsible for her well-being. He is the older sibling so she must follow whatever he says. There was also a scene where he told her to clean up the household mess and make sure there’s food to eat.
In another scene, Hannah slept in a bar after a night of drinking. Her bill totalled to more than twenty thousand pesos but she had no money to pay. Tupe saved her by paying the bill. He called her by her complete name and that’s when everyone knew the Kuya was seriously mad.
Circumstances forced them to stay in the same house. Tupe ignored Hannah’s wish to pay for her rent, saying he just wanted her to feel comfortable and safe.
Tupe’s sacrifices have already paid off as Hannah finally learned to forget the past. She truly loves him. It’s just that she never liked Rita in the beginning because she cared for her brother’s happiness. Hannah does not wish Tupe to experience the same heartbreak again. To start anew, Tupe surprised Hannah with her new tattoo shop.
