Batang Quiapo

Show is too slow moving...........There's more conversation than actual action. Cardo doesn't make good decisions. It's frustrating to watch a main character make foolish decisions. It's a turn off for me. I watch once in a while. In fact the sow is full of foolish decision-makers. I'd like to see better decision-making. You can make a good show will good decision makers. It's also a good example for the younger generation. Why does Bubbles have to dress like a prostitute? It's good for filipino actors/acresses to return to respecting self, especially the women. Start role modeling, modesty.....

I thought they'd deviate from The Probinsyano's formula. Turns out they followed the exact same formula and THEN branded it under a different name. It's the exact same series with the god awful dialogue, Cardo is called Tanggol(...why am I surprised) and his rebelliousness is still there under the guise of "I want to protect you." There's another way to solve problems, guys. The rest of the cast also have cookie-cut personalities so...

Just watched the latest episode and even the villians are so predictable, why? Because they dictate every single thing about their plans, the flow of the script automatically directs you in only one direction and you expect us to think this is good storytelling? I thought I would be rooting for the villians in this, but no, they're also equally bad if not worse.

Seriously 😒 the way they portray Quiapo is disrespectful because in reality all of does things never happened in Quiapo and we all know it could happen in real life but still it's rare to hear does things happening in Quiapo besides it's far from the original story even tho it's a remake the main character from the original batang Quiapo is a thief but also have good heart and has respect hunger and poverty causes the main character to turn into life of crime while this iteration is just bad he's gangstaer with no respect for he's parents not good for kids cause it will teach them criminal activity.

First of all its because David Dimaguiba is absolutely worthless in the show. There are many reasons why I say this, and I don't think he deserves the sympathy of the viewers and his arrogance is incredibly annoying. From the start, he always acts like he's the best, and he doesn't think about the consequences of his actions. His attitude causes conflict with his siblings and other characters. He's often defensive and doesn't know how to admit his mistakes, making it hard to feel any sympathy for him.

Secondly, his irresponsibility is a major issue. He's known to be a womanizer, and his relationships, especially with Camille, showcase his selfish nature. In scenes where he causes pain and heartbreak to those around him, he seems indifferent. This kind of behavior is truly frustrating and makes viewers lose interest in his character.

A significant point is when he killed Camille. This action illustrates his violent nature. This behavior isn't just a simple mistake; it shows his capacity for extreme anger. In this way, it becomes difficult to find any positive aspect to him, especially when his actions create bigger problems in the story.

It's also undeniable that he doesn't show any character development. Even after the tragedy of Camille's death, it seems like he hasn't learned anything. His lack of interest in rectifying his mistakes shows that he's a static character. Because of this, I lose interest in him and his story. He doesn't take any steps to change, so everything that happens to him feels pointless.

In the context of "Batang Quiapo," his siblings, Tanggol and Santino, actually become his opposites. They have better qualities and often show compassion and resilience. Because of this, David's weaknesses are even more apparent. It's like the contrast between their characters makes his flaws even more noticeable.

Overall, David Dimaguib is worthless to me because of his arrogance, irresponsibility, violent behavior, and lack of development. These qualities not only cause conflict in the story but also hinder viewers' connection with him. For me, his character symbolizes negative traits that are easily compared to better characters, making him undeserving of sympathy. Ultimately, David's worthlessness becomes part of the overall message of "Batang Quiapo lastly he want to get the Caballero's Money but he don't deserve this because he don't threat Katherine in a good way and he killed Facundo the lolo of Katherine and he was not the real Hesus Nazzareno and he is a bad person that's why he don't deserve the Caballero money.

I had high hopes for "Batang Quiapo," especially given its star power and the legacy of the original film. However, I found myself let down by the execution. The storyline is the same as with Ang Probinsyano, full of violence, killings, and lawbreakers, yet they promote the protagonist as the good guy and god-fearing individual.

The characters are stereotypical, lacking depth, and their motivations often seem forced. The pacing is uneven, with some episodes feeling like filler. While the show tries to tackle serious social issues, it often glosses over them in favor of melodrama, making it hard to take the themes seriously.

Additionally, the dialogue feels clunky at times, and the humor falls flat. I was hoping for a fresh take on the classic story, but instead, it feels like a missed opportunity. Overall, "Batang Quiapo" struggles to keep my interest, and I won't be tuning in for the next episode.

Coco's direction and storytelling are like trash that wants to become a human.
