The scene the Kapuso host was referring to was the sequence from Noli Me Tangere wherein Padre Salvi inflicted physical abuse on the characters of Crispin and Basilio.
Salvi threatened the young brother’s mother for Crispin and Basilio to keep the beatings a secret.
The friar’s moment of repentance after inflicting violence against the young siblings triggered some netizens.
Maria Clara at Ibarra airs on GMA Telebabad from Mondays to Fridays at 8 PM and streams on the GMA Network YouTube channel, website, and app.
