Makoy de Leon has officially exited FPJ’s Batang Quiapo after two years of being part of the series. His character, David de Magiba, died during an encounter with Tanggol and the guerrillas. Many viewers were saddened tonight as the life of one of the show’s important characters finally came to an end.

Though he often raised viewers’ tempers night after night, in his final moments, he chose to do what was right. He chose goodness, as Tanggol’s brother. McCoy became emotional and expressed his gratitude to everyone who supported his character until the end. He added:

“Thank you so much, Kuya Coco. I know I was a real challenge for you. I really do. And to all the directors who had patience with me from the beginning until now—thank you.”
