Netizens and FPJ’s Batang Quiapo (FPJBQ) supporters were up in arms defending the Kapamilya teleserye after a film critic posted what he called a ‘production boo-boo’ in one of its scenes.
On May 1, film reviewer Jerald Uy tweeted about FPJBQ‘s alleged incorrect detail in one of its scenes featuring a bill receipt that doesn’t add up to the total figure stated in it.
“The bill doesn’t add up. P800 + P1296 + P780 + P1200 = P4076 The character actually has the money to pay for it or at least cover P4K based on the shot of the wallet. Serious take: It’s the producer’s boo-boo to miss important details like this,” Uy tweeted.

However, eagle-eyed netizens quickly slammed the film critic for missing another detail in the scene.
In a tweet, @princessfrance pointed out that the subject receipt in the scene contains several stapled pages, which could have other details of its bill that will answer the question about its total.
“Di nakaka-onwards at upwards ang tweet na ito. Kita mo yung naka-stapler na resibo?”

@jakechan69 also reacted, questioning Uy if he intentionally missed out on the other pages of the receipt that could answer his qualms about the bill total.
“Jerald Uy sa sobrang linaw ng mata mo di mo nakita na stapled yung mga resibo? Or bobo ka lang talaga?”

Netizen @officiallyaya, meanwhile, mocked Uy, tweeting “You thought you did something with this one didn’t you? Ayan ratio ang inabot mo.”

@chakapusoPH also tweeted, slamming Uy for his Twitter blunder.
“Ang daming resibo, so obviously hindi lang ‘yan ang kinwenta. Hindi ko alam kung di pa niya na-experience mag-bar o palibre lang ‘tong si koya. Ganitong tao ayaw ko kasama, buraot sa tropa Chaaaar!”
