Pacoach kana rin kay Jeremy idol para maging pro ka

[@lucasvarley9764]

Such an amazing video of revelations! I love the honesty in this one. Great stuff man. Question... have you ever tried Next Level Diet? I got a fat-loss meal plan from them, and I love it.

[@rbbuenviaje6075]

Filipinos are blessed to have Jeremy. Such an amazing person always willing to give, supporting and helping Joven in his journey. God Bless you more Jeremy. Let's go 🇵🇭! Get the Mr. ⭕!

[@Tommygunz838]

Affording gear there must be tough also. Bless to the Philippines and 3rd world countries who don't have much. Keep grinding 💪 keep your hopes and dreams up, patience and you'll achieve your goals. We Westerners, must be grateful and thankful for what we have , be humble. Thanks Jeremy for helping him out you got a heart of Gold brother 🙏

[@paulocuento9949]

not to mention the sketchy nature of gear available in third world countries.. its literaly a life gamble

[@pinoyaesthetics]

Pinoy pride!! Thank you Jeremy for being a great host to our boy. 🇵🇭🇵🇭

[@darrentaitague270]

This is such a special and inspiring story and I salute you Jeremy for helping Joven achieve his dream and for taking the time to shine light on how difficult it is for someone from the P.I. to get to the Olympia level! We in the U.S. sometime take our lives for granted and Joven’s story should give us perspective on how lucky we are and to make something of our lives. I think you should get a gofundme started for Joven to help with all the expenses of this prep and for future shows!

[@miggyvaron4017]
