In the episode that aired on Tuesday, the long-awaited battle between Lakam and Lakas finally happened, leaving many people dead in Sansinukob. The two were just about to give each other their final blow when Mayari intervened and made them realize their responsibilities as Baganis.
Lakas, Ganda (Liza Soberano), and Dumakulem, seemed to realize their faults and stopped. Lakam, however, stuck to his father’s plans and still tried to find ways to eliminate Lakas and the desert tribe.
Out of desperation, he gave in to the suggestion of one of his father’s advisers, Hukluban (Minco Fabregas).
Bagani airs weeknights after FPJ’s Ang Probinsyano on ABS-CBN.
