Cristopher Diwata, aka 'What hafen Vella' guy, starts taping for 'Mga Batang Riles'

Cristopher Diwata, the guy behind the viral "What hafen Vella?" trend, has started taping for his guest appearance in "Mga Batang Riles."

On Instagram, GMA Network gave a sneak peek at his behind-the-scenes for the series, where he joined Miguel Tanfelix, Kokoy De Santos, Anton Vinzon, Zephanie, and Ynes Veneracion for some scenes.

He was shown practicing his lines and also singing "Twilight" soundtrack "A Thousand Years" on set.

"Hello mga Kapuso, nandito na ko ngayon sa Mga Batang Riles. Yo what hafen to me? Kinakabahan na naman ako dahil ito na, artista na po tayo," he said.

Cristopher joined the "It's Showtime" segment Kalokalike 12 years ago. A video of his performance as Taylor Lautner, the Jacob Black of the "Twilight" films, recently resurfaced and went viral on social media.

He has since collaborated with brands, artists, content creators who joined the trend started by his iconic lines, "What hafen, Vella? Why you cryin’ again? I know, vampire, right? Vampire will feyt to me."

"Mga Batang Riles" is nearing its finale. The series, which also stars Raheel Bhyria, Bruce Roeland, Diana Zubiri, Jay Manalo, and more, airs weeknights on GMA Prime at 8:50 p.m. after "Lolong."
