Sadly our local big news in the Philippines are not reporting featuring this movie. GMA, ABS and TV5 should help promote this movie too. Jokoy is a Filipino pride.

Ieandro cedrick - FYI, Jokoy was interviewed by Christine Jacob of CNN PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 and informed the Filipino audience that Jokoy will have a STAND UP Show at Mall of Asia on August 31, 2022. Part of his Asian Tour‼️

All praise to Steven Spielberg as well! He truly sees the talent amongst the Filipinos! Not too many people know the truth as to why he picked Filipino Actor Dante Basco as Rufio in the movie Hook but those who do, know that there was something in Dante's Filipino persona that won Steven over as Rufio. This is so awesome and to know that Mainstream Directors actually recognize all that we do offer which is not only some of the best cultural foods in the world, not only good at singing (except for me, LOL), not only passionate about helping people, but also can be really awesome actors. Thank you Steven Spielberg for giving us the chance to showcase and expose the Filipino culture on mainstream Hollywood!

JOKOY WAS THE BEST STANDUP COMEDIAN ever👍👍👍👏👏 We SUPPORTED IT I saw the movie Easter Sunday. Honesty, FEW people who watched it were in denial, they can’t accept that the movie was BAD. I’m PINOY, the movie / script / plot was poorly made.👎👎👎✌️rate it 5.5 out of 10. Actors / Actress were good, props to them. If the script was written by PINOY, this movie would have been better. IT RUINED JOKOY👎👎👎
