<p align="justify">We can all agree that <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><em>&quot;<strong><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></strong></em></a>&quot; features some truly wicked characters. Among them is Pablo Caballero, brilliantly played by Elijah Canlas. Pablo is ruthless, willing to do anything for revenge, power, and getting what he wants. But let’s not forget, despite his character’s rotten soul, Elijah is just an amazing actor bringing this intense role to life.</p><p align="justify">Here are some candid photos of him on the set of &quot;<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/batangquiapo"><em><strong><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></strong></em></a>&quot; that prove he&#x27;s just a good kid doing his job well and sneaking in ‘kulit’ moments when the cameras aren&#x27;t rolling.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://asset-ent.abs-cbn.com/updates/batangquiapo/2024/07/02/Eijah-Canlas.jpg"/></div><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://asset-ent.abs-cbn.com/updates/batangquiapo/2024/07/02/Eijah-Canlas-1.jpg"/></div><p align="justify">The Caballeros aren’t a toxic family, you know.

But seeing how chill and playful they are off-camera, we now think they’re a duo we’d love to be friends with.</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://asset-ent.abs-cbn.com/updates/batangquiapo/2024/07/02/Eijah-Canlas-3.jpg"/></div><p align="justify">A photo after the savage storm that is Tanggol (Coco Martin):</p><div style="text-align:center"><img src="https://asset-ent.abs-cbn.com/updates/batangquiapo/2024/07/02/Eijah-Canlas-4.jpg"/></div><p align="justify">Here&#x27;s a snapshot of them with the angelic Ara Davao, who portrays Pablo’s sister, Katherine.
