Chuckie also pointed out that the hosts appeared to laugh during the exchange, expressing disbelief over the content of the recording.

"Seems they were talking about fame making someone 'uncancellable.' Tapos ang example? 'Pwede ka na manghipo ng bata. Ay, tama… mali ba?'

Seriously?! CHILD MOLESTATION? Yun talaga ang naisip ninyong example? Tapos nagtawanan pa?

And somehow, this ALSO made it into the published episode?

Grabe. The more clips that surface, the more I wonder what the hell was going through their heads during that entire recording."

Actress Gwen Zamora also reacted to the controversial remark, expressing her concern with a brief but pointed comment.
