“Palagi kong sinasabi sa mga kasamahan ko dito na binabalik ko lang yung success ng show—yung glory and staying power namin— sa mga manunuod. Kasi for me, maganda yung relationship ng Bubble Gang sa audience. We get inspiration from them. Kumbaga kung wala yung society, hindi kami makakagawa ng parody, sketches, and jokes na about sa society. And we’re glad na-a-appreciate naman ng mga nakakapanood yun [I always tell my colleagues that I am just giving back the show’s success – the glory and staying power – to our viewers. For me, Bubble Gang really has a great relationship with its audience. We get inspiration from them. Without the society, we will not be able to create parodies, sketches, and jokes about the people. And we’re just that they appreciate the work that we do],” he said.
