David (McCoy de Leon) is running out of ways to hide the truth about Tanggol’s (Coco Martin) real identity in FPJ’s Batang Quiapo. With Ramon (Christopher de Leon) growing suspicious, David is willing to do anything—even kill—to keep his web of lies intact.
Here’s a look at eight desperate moves David made to stop Ramon from uncovering the truth.
Eliminating Severino Before He Could Reveal the Truth
Ramon’s trusted right-hand man, Severino (Dindo Arroyo), was the first to suspect David’s lies. After investigating David, Severino tried to call Ramon to expose him. But before he could reveal anything other than David’s name, David shot him dead, silencing him forever.
Panicking Over the Investigation
After Severino’s murder, Ramon launched an investigation, with “David” as the only lead. When David overheard Ramon discussing the case with a police officer, he became visibly nervous, even spilling wine on himself. Realizing the danger, he knew he had to distract Ramon.
Steering Ramon Away from Quiapo
Ramon planned to expand their drug syndicate by recruiting more people from Quiapo. Knowing this could lead to the real Tanggol’s discovery, David tried to discourage him, suggesting they didn’t need more recruits. His real fear? Ramon uncovering the truth once he steps into Quiapo.
Suggesting Tanggol’s Murder
David panicked when Ramon met someone who resembled his younger self—Tanggol. Fearing that Ramon would piece everything together, David immediately suggested that they kill the man. Ramon didn’t respond, only walking away, leaving David furious and desperate.
Lying About His Family to Keep Ramon Away
David was visibly shaken when Ramon started asking about his mother, Marites (Cherry Pie Picache). He didn’t want them to meet, fearing it would expose his deception. When questioned, David spun a lie, claiming he wanted to protect Ramon from his “dangerous” other father, Rigor (John Estrada). However, Ramon didn’t seem intimidated—in fact, he reminded David that he had the power to eliminate Rigor if he wanted to.
Confronting Ramon Over Marites
When David learned that Ramon had secretly met with Marites, he was furious. He accused Ramon of trying to form a family with her, emphasizing that she was still married to Rigor. But Ramon remained unfazed, boldly stating that he was ready to take back both Marites and Tanggol. David had no choice but to contain his anger.
Using Emotional Manipulation to Distract Ramon
David resorted to drama and deception to divert Ramon’s attention. Knowing that Ramon was close to discovering the truth, he instigated a fight between Rigor and Marites, accusing Marites of an affair. The confrontation became intense, and Ramon, witnessing the chaos, was about to step in.
David blocked his way, begging him to leave, pretending to be concerned about Marites’ safety. His real goal? To keep Ramon from hearing the truth.
Playing the Perfect Son While Controlling Rigor
Throughout the series, David has positioned himself as Rigor’s most loyal ally, whispering in his ear and manipulating situations to his advantage. His devotion to Rigor is part of his ploy to prevent Ramon from discovering his real identity. But as the story unfolds, his control over the situation is slipping.
Is Ramon About to Discover the Truth?
David is running out of ways to keep his secret. With Ramon getting closer to the truth, will David’s web of lies finally collapse?
