Goodbye David: McCoy de Leon’s Character Exits ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’

Fans of FPJ’s Batang Quiapo were in for a shock this week as David, the younger brother everyone loved to hate, met his tragic end. McCoy de Leon, who played David, delivered a performance that left viewers feeling both angry and sympathetic up until his final breath.

David’s story ended when Miguelito Guerrero, portrayed by Jake Cuenca, shot him straight in the chest. Before that, Miguelito’s goons cornered David inside an old building while he was on the run with Coco Martin’s character, Tanggol. Unfortunately, Tanggol arrived too late to save his brother, making the moment even more heartbreaking for fans who had hoped for a last-minute rescue.

What made David’s death even more surprising was his sudden turnaround. After spending years plotting against Tanggol, he failed to carry out Miguelito’s order to kill him. Instead, David decided to stand by his older brother one last time. In a twist, he even disguised himself as Tanggol to feel what it was like to live as Ramon’s son.

This final act of brotherhood caught viewers off guard and sparked different reactions online. Some felt sad about losing David, while others thought his death was well-deserved because of his endless betrayals. Many praised the emotional scenes, especially how McCoy and Coco made the audience feel the pain of two brothers torn apart by crime and power.

David’s end marks a new wave of revenge for Tanggol. With more enemies to hunt and more fights ahead, fans can expect the coming episodes to be packed with intense confrontations and gritty street justice. One thing’s for sure, David’s troubled soul will haunt Tanggol’s every move from here on out.
