Kuya Kim on Camille Prats viral meme: ‘Siya na ang Pambansang Dopamine’

Camille Prats recently made waves online after becoming a viral meme due to a “TiktoClock” episode. In the said episode, the Kapuso actress was introduced on stage by the show's hosts right after their spiel expressing sympathy to their fellow host Kim Atienza following the loss of his daughter Emman. 

On Tuesday’s “Fast Talk With Boy Abunda,” Kuya Kim said that he had seen the viral clip and could not help but burst into laughter. He even called Camille the “Pambansang Dopamine.”

“Ginawa nila sa 'TiktoClock' 'yan. Namatayan ako eh. So nag-spiels muna sila at sinabi nilang ‘Kuya Kim mahal ka namin,’ Sabay pasok si Camille Prats. Pagtingin ko, trending na siya eh. Siguro mga five thousand comments na noong nakita ko,” he shared. 

“At natawa ako. Natanggal ‘yung lungkot ko. Very effective si Camille Prats sa akin. Talagang 'pag nakikita ko, hanggang ngayon natatawa pa rin ako. Siya na ang Pambansang Dopamine. The Dopamine of Asia,” Kuya Kim said.

Recently, Kuya Kim paid homage to Emman by getting inked with the same tattoo as her. 

Emman’s passing was announced by her family on October 24. She was 19 years old. 

In what would be her last message on her Instagram broadcast channel, posted on September 1, Emman opened up about the pressures of social media.

In Kuya Kim's interview with Jessica Soho, aired on "Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho," he said he remains grateful for the "19 beautiful years" of Emman.

He also reminded parents about the seriousness of mental health during his interview with Vicky Morales in "24 Oras."
