Met JoKoy when he came to Philippines. Not necessarily a big interaction but it was wholesome. He was walking at a mall with his PAs and I shouted at him "JoKoy get out of the goddamn footlocker" He laughed, waved at me and told one of his PAs to give me his scarf. It still is here. And I treasure it.

My best friend from hs, her mother is Filipino and her father was white who met while he was serving in the USAF. Her mother Alice practically adopted me the last 2 yrs of hs because my dad kicked me out. I loved her like my own mom. Watching Jo Koy describe his mother is Mama Alice to a T. She may be 4'11" but a force to reckon with. A great big heart but a tongue like whip. She cared for all 4 of her kids + 1 and I will always be grateful for her. 💖

[@mariaa.confortimswlcsw4193]

What a refreshing message. I'm a daughter of Italian immigrants and I love Joe Koy's comedy because it's so universal. What I wasn't expecting was a mother who clearly got things so right, she could admit what most parents never get over. Some might say, yeah that's only because he became successful, but my own professional journey and training naturally looks a little deeper. This is a mother who instilled the work ethic of needing stability and reliability as a foundation, but never lost the twinkle in her eye about truly living life and engaging the village you are in even if you no longer find yourself in the one you were born in. Her message for the Filipino community was beautiful because it was genuine and I felt like she wasn't just seeking support for her people in a divisive way, but rather speaking to the collective and honoring her sector of it and speaking on their behalf as all peoples of the earth deserve to be included as a community within the collective. When she spoke, my heart opened as a child of immigrants, as woman, as a person who has both offered support and needed it of others. Joe Koy's comedy is an asset to our global society because his mother didn't raise a kid, she nurtured and cared for and cultivated a conscientious global citizen that we frankly need more of. Jo can put himself up there with the real greatest of comedy, those who made a platform for humanity and an opportunity to identify and heal the wounds we all get a chance to have. Awesome! Awesome awesome awesome!

This may sound weird, but as a white person growing up in the 90s in a very white part of the US, watching comedians of color was a big part of how I learned about their cultural experiences and perspectives. I still love comedy, and Jo Koy is hilarious! It’s cool to see his mom react to his show and to see how well he captured her essence in his bits.

My step dad was half Filipino and his mom was elderly and lived with him. When we moved in I got to spend alot of time with his mom and she was about 4 ft tall but man she was hilarious. She never lost her accent either XD and thats why me and my stepdad die laughing at Jo Koy because we just see my stepdads mom. She was special and she cooked the most amazing food. I will never forget her she almost felt like another grandmother to me.

OK so did anyone else get chills when she was calling jo jo koi ( sorry if I misspelled it) the nickname his aunite gave him and how he got the name jo koy .. My Joe.. I love it. And she is so proud

As a person who is an English born of Indian origin, I have to say that she is a really nice person and have a genuine respect+ admiration for her. My language has been spoken around the world; however, I do respect everybody and different diversity that this country office. Love from across the pond to my cousins in America and to everybody 🇺🇸 🇬🇧

As a filipino, hearing her talk and explains stuff makes me feel like I'm sitting in the living room with my tita as I'm listening to her tell a story lol

[@loveleevelasco4420]

Never give up! Support your kids. Jokoy and Mom are great examples of tenacity. They both never gave up in life. No excuses. Help each other not just because we’re Filipinos but because we’re human beings. So beautiful. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@marciethefruitysmoothie2.028]

Teary eyed when I heard her speak about Jokoy. She reminds not only me but every Filipino to cherish your mom, time is so short to be with someone that loves you more than they can ever say.

Jokoy's jokes are so funny and relatable to us filipinos, because at some point it was also done to us. Like the vicks vapor rub, his mom flexing, his mom not supporting his dreams, getting free stuff at the restaurant such as tissues, etc. In addition, the filipino's brought up in the 90's were educated on a young age to have and secure a job.

Your mom is absolutely beautiful. My sister in law is Filipino. I accidentally came across your channel and I laughed so much. I absolutely enjoyed your jokes although they’re all below the belt. But it’s clean and the truth. I don’t know if you’ve brought your show to South Africa 🇿🇦 but I live in the Eastern Cape. My Filipino sister in law is here I think just on 40 years. Her family is still in Philippines 🇵🇭. I hope you could to South Africa 🇿🇦 we do have a good population of Filipinos. A lot has gone back home. I’m enjoying your humour. Your mom is so beautiful and speaks so well. Love ❤️ and regards from South Africa 🇿🇦

I'm looking at this from the other direction. I'm a white American who moved from So. Calif. to Cebu in 2010. I found my sweet wife here and I was a bit disappointed to hear that your marriage didn't work out. I really love the more relaxed, traditional and friendly culture here and find the country of my birth getting harsher and meaner every day. The Philippines is HOME for me now.
