Popular culture
After an issue with defending against basher of his former girlfriend, Andrea Torres who allegedly called by a basher "Retokada",[6] the series saw a rejuvenated interest in Philippine meme culture spawning from a Facebook meme page, "Sorsogon Luxury Hotel", which posted a series of meme revolving around the character, which made "Wag kang bastos" synonymous with Derek within the community.
Marketing
On December 17, 2012, TV5 unveils its Kidlat billboard on EDSA, but it caused heavy traffic at EDSA, due to Derek's appearance as Kidlat costume.[7] On January 6, 2013, before Kidlat aired on primetime, TV5 previewed the series by airing its telemovie.
