“Si Idol kasi na-miss ko siyang katrabaho eh, dahil magkatrabaho kami sa Pwedeng Pwede,” shared Vhong, referring to the 1999 ABS-CBN sitcom. “Tapos siya ang nagbigay sa akin ngbreak na maging sidekick. So ‘yung tiwala niya sa akin Pwedeng Pwede pa lang, iba na kaya sobrang na-miss ko siyang makatrabaho. And this time na magkatrabaho na kami, aba, walang pagbabago dahil binibigyan niya ako ng moment.”
He revealed that Robin sometimes makes suggestions when they tape for Toda Max to make his scenes more effective. “Kumbaga idol [ko siya] kasi Robin Padilla na nakilala ko, na iniidolo na kahit di pa ko artista, ganun pa rin siya at marami siyang naitulong sa akin. Mas tumaas ang respeto ko sa kanya, mas iniidolo ko siya.”
It was also pointed out to Vhong that Toda Max is paving the way for the comeback of sitcoms, which were more popular in previous decades. “Siguro may mga times na namatay nga ang sitcom kasi nga marami ang na-hook sa drama, sa mga mexicanovela, koreanovela,” Vhong explained. “Kumbaga isa yon sa mga part na nawalan kami (comedians) ng trabaho dahil mas tinangkilik nila ang koreanovela, mexicanovela kaya dun muna nag-concentrate. Kaya nga ang sarap ng pakiramdam na isa kami sa naging tauhan para gawin uli ang sitcom at dito nga pinapatunayan namin ang pagbabalik-sitcom ay hindi sa amin magtatapos. Kami ang magsisimula, paparamihin pa namin kasi alam naman natin kung saan nagsimula ang sitcom, kay Tito Dolphy. Alam natin si Tito Dolphy nawala pero meron siyang iniwan sa atin at ito ang sitcom. Ang magpasaya ng tao, ang magpaligaya ng tao at itutuloy namin kung ano ang sinimulan niya,” said Vhong.
