Wait, there's a 'Lena' filter on TikTok?!

We hit the streets of Manila to catch up with the “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” stars—especially the lively Quiapo unit—during their breaks on set. And guess what? It's all about having fun and making TikToks!

When the cameras stop rolling on the intense, action-packed set of “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo,” the cast switches gears and dives into a world of laughter and light-hearted moments with their TikTok videos. It’s like a whole new vibe where the serious faces of their characters are replaced by smiles and dance moves that will make you want to hit replay.

Eyy ka muna! Eyy! Let’s kick things off with this clip where some of the cast members and production crew jumped on the “eyy” trend—complete with the iconic shaka hand gesture, of course!

From ‘eyy-ing’ their way to good vibes, now the cast gets emotional in the next video. Filters on! Presenting the “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo” crew as the iconic emotions! And we have to say, the feelings they picked suit them perfectly. Marites (Cherry Pie Picache) as sadness? Absolutely! The annoying mistress Lena (Mercedes Cabral) as disgust? Spot on! And who better to embody ‘anger’ than the perennially miffed Rigor (John Estrada)?

Meanwhile, Camille (Yukii Takahashi) donned ‘fear,’ which reminds us of the fear we felt when she tumbled down the church stairs during David's (McCoy de Leon) wedding in a recent episode. And let’s be real, Camille’s subplot is seriously keeping our ‘anxiety’ levels high too!

In the Quiapo unit, Yukii is the mastermind behind their TikTok videos! This time, she got Ronwaldo Martin, aka Santino, and ‘mga tambay sa bilyaran’ to join her in the “Lambingin Mo Naman Ako” dance craze.

Yukii is the real ‘sakalam’—she even convinced John to bust a move to “Selos”!

So, what happens when your character goes viral? You get a filter of your own! One of the current trends on TikTok is a filter that features Lena’s face and her famous line, “Rigor, huwag mong kalimutan ang liempo ko, ha?” That’s right—there’s a ‘Lena’ filter. Now that’s a whole new level of iconic! So, what happens when Lena herself tests out the filter?

Mercedes' “Rigor” line is also a hit on social media, with everyone loving her ‘pabebe’ way of saying Rigor’s name. But what if Rigor himself says “Rigor”?! The rest of the cast jumped in, too, each delivering their own version of “Rigor.” Even Marsing (Pen Medina) and Nita (Susan Africa) couldn’t resist joining the fun. But let’s be real, no one does it better than the original—Marites!

What if Marites and Lena’s tug-of-war ended up as a GL (Girls’ Love) trope?
