One day during Tindeng’s detainment he was called by Tanggol after robbing Roda’s house to meet up for bail however he prevented him going to the station after a violent family commotion with David and Rigor. Instead, Enteng’s mom was the one who paid the bail for Tindeng. One night, after witnessing a shootout between Tanggol and Angkong’s men for stealing their sum of money for Marsing’s hospital treatment, he encountered bloodied Tanggol after escaping from abusive cops who cornered and beat him. He then convinced him to just let him go instead of arresting him. Upon Tanggol gets shot by Rigor, he somewhat expressed his total dismay to Rigor.
