Meanwhile, another netizen supported the claims about “cheap” comedy and said that there must be a change.
But Pokwang questioned the netizen by saying, “Sige nga educate me, enlighten me kung ano para sa inyo ngayon ang basehan ng mataas na uri ng comedy? Baka mairekomenda ko kayo sa network bilang writer at creative director, kailangan nila ngayon yan.”
