- Kambal Karibal became a big hit on television and on social media.
- The series was also well-followed because of the controversial catfight scenes between the three girls: Crisan (Bianca Umali), Crisel and Cheska (Pauline Mendoza / Kyline Alcantara).
We listed down the most electrifying catfights in Kambal Karibal that turned it into a runaway favorite.
Juice Bar
Kyline as Cheska tried to provoke Bianca’s character, Crisan by complaining about her drink. Cheska grew irritated and splashed her drink on Crisan.
On the road
Crisel’s spirit was inside Crisan’s body while Crisan’s soul was using Cheska’s body. Crisel pulled her twin sister out a jeepney and tried to strangle her.
Chocolate fountain
Crisel, using Cheska’s body, humiliated Crisan in front of everyone in a party. She pulled Crisan’s hair and pushed her onto the chocolate fountain.
By the creek
Cheska picked up a fight with Crisan who was trying to pacify her. Cheska, however, pulled Crisan to the water and tried to drown her.
Rivalry becomes real
Crisel, in Cheska’s body, kissed Diego and fired continuously at Crisan. On the other hand, this catfight allegedly became too real which started rumors regarding Kyline’s romantic relationship with Miguel.
#FAIL: Heart-to-heart
This scene became controversial as Crisel should have fallen to her death. She, however, clung to a corner where she decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with Crisan.
Unrealistic fall
Instead of becoming a tightly gripping scene, viewers laughed at this scene where Bianca obviously climbed up the step. Netizens commented that the director obviously failed in making the scene realistic.
CPR Fail
A hospital assistant was supposedly conducting a cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR. People on social media criticized a few seconds of the scene mostly because of the poor CPR skills the nurse character exhibits.
