Most-watched TV drama show nationwide ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’ has recently caught the attention of social media users due to a curious plot detail: the character Camille, portrayed by Yuki Takahashi, has been depicted as pregnant for over a year.
This prolonged pregnancy has led to a flurry of jokes and comments from viewers. Fans have taken to social media to humorously plead with the show’s director, Coco Martin, to finally let Camille give birth.
Wala yan. Si Camille ng Batang Quiapo, higit 1 year nang buntis .

The situation has also been highlighted by other pregnancy storylines in the series, including Lena’s character, who is entangled in a complicated relationship with Rigor. The abundance of pregnant characters has even led some viewers to jokingly label ‘FPJ’s Batang Quiapo’ as the “buntiserye of the year.”
