After being hounded by her instinct telling her that Rigor (John Estrada) has been cheating on her, Marites (Cherry Pie Picache) has already caught Lena (Mercedes Cabral) as her husband's mistress, so let's revisit their confrontations in "FPJ's Batang Quiapo" that are sure to get your blood boiling.

If you suddenly find yourself in Marites' shoes, what would you do when facing the mistress? Well, as the legal wife, here's how you give the audacious 'kabit' a reality check.

Level 1: (Fake) Friendly

Mistresses possess an extraordinary boldness. Sometimes they even dare to get into the man’s house and try to steal intimate moments, all while shamelessly facing the legal wife as if they bear no guilt. This exact scenario unfolded in the first scene in this Kapamilya Toplist video.

Here, Lena accompanied Mando (Allan Paule) to Rigor’s house and then tried to steal a kiss when they were left alone as Mando went out to buy them food. When Mando came back with Marites, who was surprised to see a female visitor in their house, Lena feigned a pleasant demeanor, introducing herself to Marites and reciprocating her polite gestures. So, rule number one is to not show your suspicions too much, like what Marites did.

Level 2: Suspicious

Ay, sumasapaw? In the next scene, Marites was taken aback when Lena failed to conceal her worry for Rigor, rushing to his side when he was shot during an encounter with Greg (RK Bagatsing)'s group. Marites was puzzled for a moment as Lena acted like she was the wife, as if she would die if something bad happened to Rigor. Again, keep calm and know your place as the legal wife.

Level 3: Low-key triggered

However, learn to drop hints and fight back a little sometimes. Show the ‘kabit’ that you still own the throne as the legal wife, like what Marites did when she surprised Rigor at work with a specially made maja blanca. While Lena made sour comments about Marites’ cooking, still, the latter was able to emphasize that she's very attentive to Rigor – as the wife.

Level 4: Confrontational

Enough of the subtle confrontations. This time, Marites invited Lena out and cut straight to the chase, asking if Lena is having an affair with Rigor. The face-off was laced with amusement as the ladies exchanged feisty innuendos, with Marites saying that she doesn’t like sharing cups with others and suggesting Lena try a strong brewed coffee “para minsan kabahan ka.”

Level 5: Furious, Scandalous, Beast Mode

And when deception reaches its peak, it's time to unleash your inner beast. Lena and Rigor were caught red-handed in the former’s house, so Marites dragged Lena out and exposed her to her neighbors. Although the mistress had the audacity 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.

We bet that this complicated love triangle won’t end here, so let’s not miss an episode of “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” weeknights, on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live, TV5, and A2Z.
