Deborah Delos Santos is the main antagonist of Huwag Kang Mangamba. In the beginning, she claims herself as a messenger of God. But at the latter part of the series, she insists that she is the only God. She is portrayed by Eula Valdez, but is also portrayed by Mica Javier as young Deborah.
== Background ==
She, along with Agatha, have lived and grown up with abusive parents. So, they had a rough childhood and a dark past. When they both go to Hermoso, Deborah plans to be a fake healer and a "messenger" of God for her and Agatha to be respected by others. However, before this, her sister gets sick, and she does not have enough money to buy her medicine. So, she decides to steal the crown of Hermoso, which is worth millions. The crown was worn by a statue of Jesus Christ (Bro). Just when she took the crown off the statue, she gets caught by the priest. He tells her that she is doing a sin, and she can do something else for her sister instead of stealing. She does not listen and they wrestle for the crown. This results in the priest dying and the candles, which are lit up, fall on the floor, resulting the fire in the Hermoso church. She successfully gets out the burning church and thanks God because of it. And when she sees the person that Agatha has accidentally killed (which is Fatima), she decides to keep quiet. But when she sees Fatima starting to move again, she kills her for good. She repeatedly asked for God's forgiveness when she killed Fatima and when they hid her body in the river. Years later, she started to get more popular in the city of Hermoso because of her fake miracles, especially when she brought Joy back from the dead, even though that was Bro's doing.
== Personality ==
She is religious, manipulative, and greedy for power and fame. She was once religious to God, but at the latter part of the series, she became more religious to herself because of her thinking that she is God and the only God. She is also very manipulative to other people. People like Simon, Miguel, and basically the whole town of Hermoso were victims of her manipulation. And just like Miguel and Simon, she is very greedy for power and fame. She wants to be seen not only in Hermoso but basically the whole world. However, after her fake resurrection, she has become completely insane. She has tried to murder many civilians (mostly Mira and Joy, along with their friends/allies) because of them not praising her as the real and only God. She was eventually arrested and sent to a mental hospital.
