<p>Work days on the set of &quot;<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u><em><strong>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</strong></em></u></a>&quot; are often packed with intense scenes and long hours, but every now and then, the cast and crew find time to slip in a little sweetness, especially when it’s someone’s birthday. And it&#x27;s in these simple but thoughtful moments, when the cameras stop rolling and a surprise cake enters the set, that you really feel how much of a family they’ve all become. </p><p>Just ask Cherry Pie Picache, who was caught completely off guard when, in the middle of what she thought was a scene rehearsal with lead actor and director Coco Martin (who, by the way, seems to be getting really good at staging these birthday pranks), the entire team suddenly broke into a cheerful chorus of the &#x27;Happy Birthday&#x27; song, with a staff member walking in holding a cake. </p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKMdHivT4tE/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A17559527.299999952%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>And not just one, but two cakes for the beloved actress. In another setting, as she finished leading the closing prayer, likely after a scene set in the Montenegro mansion, another round of singing and cake awaited her. Christopher de Leon was spotted during the unexpected celebration. Cherry Pie was all smiles, and she mentioned that this marks her third year with her “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</em></u></strong></a>” family. So when you wish her many more birthdays to come, you might as well wish for many more birthdays with the show. Cherry Pie turned 55 on May 27.</p><div><br/></div><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABZpP_6L69GBoYCA"></script></div><div><br/></div><p>Another “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</em></u></strong></a>” May celebrator is Rosanna Roces, whose birthday falls on the 24th. The surprise happened on the set of Divina&#x27;s house, the character she plays in the teleserye. While she was waiting for the cameras to roll with co-stars Kim Domingo, Jojit Lorenzo, and Jay Gonzaga, the room erupted into cheerful singing, and a staff member came in with a cake. Rosanna looked genuinely elated as she blew out the candles, especially when Coco came in and greeted her.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKMfnthzHhH/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A17559538.600000143%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABZiVMTVgSLcLc7C"></script></div><div><br/></div><p>It was the perfect setup for a little birthday fun—right in the middle of a bar scene, no less—when the team pulled off a alittle treat for Albie Casiño, who celebrated his birthday on May 14. In the video, Gillian Vicencio is seen holding the cake, while Albie laughs along with Ronwaldo Martin, Smugglaz, and the rest of their co-stars. And really, what better way to mark a birthday on set than in a room full of cheers.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DKMfGTTzymV/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=675&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A17559546.200000048%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><script data-wid="auto" type="text/javascript" src="https://content.viralize.tv/display/?zid=AAFz8gWM8iRADsJr&amp;cid=ABZiO_IU69ayuYbI"></script></div><div><br/></div><p>Happy birthday to Cherry Pie, Rosanna, and Albie—here’s to many more thoughtful moments with your “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em><strong><u>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</u></strong></em></a>” fam! </p><p>Watch “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/batangquiapo" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><u><em>FPJ’s Batang Quiapo</em></u></strong></a>” weeknights on Kapamilya Channel, Kapamilya Online Live (KOL), A2Z, and TV5.</p>
