Enzo Pineda leaves Pusong Ligaw as his character Rafa gets killed by his adoptive father played by Raymond Bagatsing (not in photo). Fans of the ABS-CBN show were shocked by the surprise death of Enzo's character in the show.
Enzo Pineda has already bowed out of his role in the ABS-CBN afternoon drama Pusong Ligaw.
In the episode last Friday, December 15, viewers of the show were surprised when his character Rafa was killed by his adoptive father Jaime, played by Raymond Bagatsing.
The two had an intense confrontation scene after Rafa discovered the connection of Jaime and Marga (Bianca King).
The confrontation led Rafa to ask why his father did not love him.
Jaime then embraced him and said, "Hindi kita minahal dahil..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he brought out a gun and suddenly shot Rafa in the chest.
Jaime then continued, "...dahil demonyo ako."
Rafa fell on the floor and died as tears fell down his face.
The episode, which had the hashtag #PLNoMercy, became a top trending topic on Twitter.
Fans were shocked by Enzo's sudden exit from the show and they took to social media to express their sadness over Rafa's death.

My heart breaks that they killed him. Jaime is really heartless, and it saddens me that’s who he last hugged before dying. #PLNoMercy #PusongLigaw

On Instagram, Enzo left a farewell message for his character in Pusong Ligaw and thanked everyone whom he worked with since its pilot episode in April 2017.
He wrote, "Every journey has a beginning and an end. Today I’m officially signing off as Rafa. Thank you po sa lahat ng sumubaybay at nag mahal sa character ko.
"Thank you @starcreatives @pusongligawtv @malousantos03 and the whole team for believing in me. I am forever grateful sa opportunity na binigay niyo saakin.
"To my co-actors, mamimiss ko kayong lahat and it’s a pleasure working with everybody. Cheers"
Pusong Ligaw is Enzo's first major teleserye since he transferred to ABS-CBN in 2016.
Prior to the show, he had a brief role in the Kapamilya prime-time series Till I Met You and a guest appearance in an episode of Ipaglaban Mo.
