A number of netizens say the said segment is merely a copy of "Eat Bulaga's" segment "Kalyeserye," which features Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza as Yaya Dub.

 

"Sino bang nanggaya, sino bang ginaya? Paulit-ulit na lang ‘yan. Sino bang original sa mundo?" Vice said in an interview with Pang-Masa.

 

He added: "At basta, kahit anon’g sabihin sa ‘yo, for as long as everybody’s talking about you, you remain to be relevant. And in showbusiness, it’s all about being relevant.”

 

The comedian is thankful to fans who continuously support the show.

 

"Nagpapasalamat pa rin ako sa mga tao because they keep on talking about Pastillas. Anuman ang sabihin nila, whether good or bad, for as long as everyone is talking about it, it makes it relevant,” he said.
