Former child stars Zaijan Jaranilla and Bugoy Carino take on edgier roles in this week’s episode of “Ipaglaban Mo,” wherein they play childhood friends who were abducted by a man pretending to be a business client.

 Pong (Zaijian Jaranilla) and Jake (Bugoy Carino) grew up like brothers as Pong’s family has long been serving Jake’s household. Jake’s parents even sent Pong to the same school as their son. Being with Jake all the time, Pong witnessed how unruly and stubborn his best friend can get inside and outside of school.

One day, Pong joined Jake to go with a man who claimed to have some business with Jake’s family. Despite his hesitations, Pong went inside the car and didn’t leave his friend hanging. Little did they know that the man was lying and that they were already being abducted.

What will happen to them? Will they be able to escape?

Joining this episode are Lara Quigaman, Jaffrey Santos, Christian Vasquez, Mickey Ferriols, and Zeppi Borromeo .
