Jo Koy bilib na bilib pa rin sa mga talentadong Pinoy: We’re very entertaining people and we’re very loving
Jo Koy
SOLID na solid pa rin ang paghanga ng super sikat na Filipino-American comedian na si Jo Koy sa mga talentadong Pinoy artists.
Yan ang dahilan kung bakit sinisiguro niyang nakakabisita pa rin siya sa Pilipinas kahit gaano pa siya ka-busy sa kanyang career sa Amerika.
Sa katunayan, bukas na magaganap ang kanyang “Funny is Funny” world tour sa SM Mall of Asia Arena. Ito’y sa gitna pa rin ng tinatamasang tagumpay ng pelikula niyang “Easter Sunday” sa iba’t ibang panig ng mundo.
Sa panayam ng GMA kay Jo Koy, nabanggit nga niya na ang gustung-gusto niya sa ugali ng mga kapwa niya Pinoy ay ang pagiging masayahin at mapagbiro ng mga ito.
“We’re very entertaining people and we’re very loving. And we love that. We love to be able to meet new people where for example, they’re the new person at work, we’d love to, like, bring food and socialize and entertain, and I love that,” pahayag ng Filipino-American stand-up comedian.

Aniya pa, nakuha niya sa kanyang Filipinang ina ang pagiging komedyante at pagmamahal sa entertainment industry.
“Our love for entertainment shows (parehong katangian). When you go to the Philippines, you just see how talented Filipinos are. It’s pretty amazing. You know, I make jokes about it, but it’s very true.
“You can go to any Filipino party and you’ll get at least six singers out of that family. Good singers too, not just pretty good, like really, really good. And very funny. We love to be funny. So you know, I get all that from them,” pahayag pa ni Jo Koy.
At tungkol naman sa madalas na pagbanggit niya sa pagiging Pinoy on stage, sinabi ni Jo Koy sa isa pang hiwalay na panayam na, “People these days like to ask me why I talk about being Filipino so much onstage. After all, I’m a half-breed, just as white as I am Filipino.
“And I’m not ashamed of the Caucasian side of my identity. In a lot of ways, it’s shaped me just as much as the Filipino side,” aniya pa.
“But when sh*t got real for my mom and our family, when we had nowhere to turn and desperately needed help, the Filipinos took us in, no questions asked. They never looked at me and said, ‘Hey, where’s your dad’s family? Why don’t you go hang out with them and eat their food?’
“They accepted me, both of my halves, for exactly who I was. They accepted our whole family, my brother with his outbursts. My adopted sister. All of us. I was home. I still have that glove to this day,” sabi pa ng komedyante.
