Here are some of the reactions of the netizens about this:
Yun lang…. Sobrang taka ko bakit binigyan si sarah ng ganun kadaming valium without reseta.. Pero nakakatawa yung eksena na yun
I dont think this should be an issue, obviously for humor lang yung scene. Although nagtaka rin ako dun pero gets ko agad na for humor lng and not to be taken seriously. I guess may mga viewers na sensitive lng talaga sa ganyan bagay.
Mostly mga pharmacists ang offended. Ok na rin yang statement ng viva for everyone’s education
What can you say about this?
