“Gusto kong magkaroon ng puppet na socially aware in a way na magandang nakakatawa,” Clavio said.

“Kasi minsan mayroon akong hindi puwedeng sabihin, na dapat siya ang magsabi.

“Matatawa ka, pero may dating eh. 'Yun ang gusto ko para kay Arn-arn.”

The Unang Hirit host also revealed that the “Good News, Bad News” segment where Arn-arn appeared was immediately scrapped because of the backlash it received from a few government officials.
