FiLay loveteam praised for their intense argument scene in 'Maria Clara at Ibarra'
Maria Clara at Ibarra characters Fidel and Klay have made social media explode with praises for them as last night's episode showed one of the most intense scenes between the two characters.
In the October 12 episode, Klay, played by Barbie Forteza, went into a heated argument with Fidel, played by David Licauco, about their different perspectives on the poor and the rich. Fidel thinks that it is only right for the poor to become poor as they don't do anything to earn or work, calling them lazy.
Klay, meanwhile, as a working student, tried to prove that the poor are trying to make ends meet and it's just that the rich or the higher class are making it harder for the poor to have better lives and called for the rich to make the changes.
The exchange evolved into a heated argument which netizens and fans alike did not fail to notice, calling the exchange “intense,” especially the part where Klay slapped Fidel.
