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. 💖
My best friend growing up was Filipino n lived right across the street from me, her mom was hilarious. We used to sleepover each other’s house n eat at each other’s houses every other day. She learned what it was like living in an Italian house n I learned what it was like living in a Filipino home.
She’s so genuine. Set aside that she’s Filipino, she’s like any other mom that cares about her children. Reminds me of my mother who is my heart and my everything. Don’t know where I would be without her and my father. ❤️
Agreed, especially when she was talking about how Jo was wanting to get into stand comedy, her concerns about how unpredictable the stand up comedy circuit can be were definitely very genuine
I always thought the loud voice of a Filipino mom is normal. Am guilty of that and when my children ask me why am I on top of my voice, i always answer "This is my normal speaking voice!!!!!! and matanda na ako, nabibingi na ako!!!! Ha ha
@@Phlowermom We Navajo always fear shimá sání. They are so brutal. Whether it’s a shoe or a metal bar, you mess up, you are going to feel the pain for a long time.
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.
Bruh, she flexed at the camera, and I flinched. Jo Koy's mom is the tita we all grew up to love! She raised a great man! Mad love to this family! I should give my mom a call and let her know how much I love and miss her!
I had the enormous privilege to serve with MANY filipinos in the Navy. I can't say enough how muther truck'n HARD they work. It was always a bittersweet pleasure to be outworked and out-schooled on a daily basis. Mad respect.
I was in the Marines and ended up in Virginia Beach near the largest Naval Base in the world. 🌎 Lots of Filipino friends and neighbors as well. Fell in love with Jo Koy and his mom… felt right at home 🏡 watching them.
Beyond that, I will add that the are some of the nicest, generous people. I totally enjoy the culture, the foods for sure, and it's a pleasure to have Filipino friends.
@@ledeyabaklykova DEPENDS ON WHAT YEAR ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ! NOT IN THE 70S AND EARLY 80S WHERE MOST FILIPINOS WERE RECRUITED FROM THE PHILIPPINES ... BUT NOW A DAYS MANY YOUNG FILIPINOS JOINED THE ARMED SERVICES AND YES WERE BORN HERE IN THE US...
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.
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!
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.
I could never stay mad at my mother in law as soon as she tried to swear in english and her p and f pronouncing issues kick in i laugh everytime including in the middle of the argument. Her daughter and i have been divorced for 20 years but we are still mom and son.
Same with my ex’s mom. She’s still lola to our kids of course and she and I learned to respect each other. It’s hard to have two head strong women in the same house.
So sorry that you are divorced my husband is a caucasian too bad his parents are gone before we got married I should have called them mom and dad too because that's our culture.
She has lived long enough to learn from her child. "You don't always have to have a degree to be successful." This means that she's a successful parent.
...Good Mom alert... I love when she advises parents to support their children with what they are trying to do... I also love that she learned from her son the tenacity it takes to forge towards your goals... 🧡
Para ito sa mga kapwa ko “When you see a Filipino up there, put a foundation underneath them so they can still reach their pedestal in life whatever they’re doing”. So true.
Lol the yelling is so spot on.😂 Growing up I thought my parents were always arguing but they'd tell me "we're just talking." Us Filipinos are just passionate people and we emphasize that through yelling.
My son-in-law is Filipino & he yells in normal conversation, it’s not mean yelling, it’s just when he is excited. It’s very cool to know it’s a cultural thing!
Wow. I've never heard a mother speak the way she does aside from myself to my own son. How impactful she possesses so much wisdom and she is so poignant in the way she speaks. That right there is a real woman and a real mother. This was so cool to watch I'm glad we finally got to hear from her.
I’m not Filipino, but I can def relate to Joe Koi’s upbringing. His is a very American experience. His mom was my mom. She’s absolutely wonderful, wise and funny💕💪🏽
So inspiring! Jo Koy is not only a great Filipino entertainer, his comedy brings immigrants of all kinds (of ethnicities) together. He also inspires entrepreneurs!
Jo Koy is one of the funniest men that ever decided to try comedy. I could listen to this man all day, his shows are never long enough! And his Mom? What a treasure she is!
Oh gosh she touched my heart, had me tearing up. And she is so open, parents sometimes don’t own up to things, and she seems totally open and wholesome. Sending her hugs.
@@americafirst1282 that is not the definition of an African American. Black Americans who are descendants of the slaves brought to the US are the only ones who are true African Americans. If they choose to call themselves that, it's their right.
Boy w/out his mama being hard core, he may not have achieved as much as he did w/out her tuff love but she mus have been hus role model since she never gave up on her kids and he never gave up on his dreams! Great job mama!
Jokoy's mom for me is fluent in English. Her accent is good. Jokoy is really good as a stand up comedian.. More power to responsible Filipinos like you.
PERHAPS MAMA CAME IN AS A PROFESSIONAL WAY BACK IN LATE 60S AND EARLY 70S, AS I'VE MET SO MANY FILIPINOS DURING THE LATE 60S THAT CAME IN AS PROFESSIONALS ...
My best friend was named Leticia Lim . I loved her so much. She taught me how to make panzit and Lumpia. The philipino people are so loving and kind and very very funny. Watch a few talking in their native tongue....they always laugh. ❤❤❤❤
All the while I’m watching Jokoy’s show I always wanted to hear from her mom and finally I’ve seen it and what a very admirable person . Witty and speaks with substance .I just love her 🥰
Your an amazing Mother❤️. Your the type of Mother who raises children that know Love, honesty, respect and discipline. I'm not nor was my Mother Filipino, but the way you raised your children are the same. I lost my Mom when she was only 41. And her Sister the year before that at 41. I'm almost 50. I would like to thank you for your Son. His comedy bits about you and his upbringing make me feel like she is still with me. This to me is more than comedy. It helps me through the tough day when I miss her the most. Thank you both and please keep doing what you do. 💯💯🥰🥰🥰
ang galeng mo Jokoy, listening to your Mom just amazing. Hindi mo talaga puedeng maliitin ang kung sino man. Passion and dedication plays a big part in the success. If you love what your doing, go for it.
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 🙏🏼
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.
I'm a fan of Jokoy! He do his best on what he do. all filipino moms teach their child to not give up until you reach greatness and when you reach it help someone too. God bless you all!
What a nice lady and so great the she supports her son. She is right you don't always need a degree to be successful just have to work hard. I have met so many Filipinos through my work and been to the Philippines 3 times and now moved here. He is right on with his jokes and they say the best comedy is real life events.
Just from seeing this I love her. And I love his love of her. Every child of an immigrant parent can relate. And those who aren't can laugh along with us and take the chance to bond.
His mom is an amazing mom. Because she did it all by herself raising her three children. I can relate as a child of a mother that was abandoned by her husband and worked 2 jobs, so rent and food was put on the table today she has 3 professionals daughters because her unrelenting love covered us all. So Jo your mom is an angel
i love them - learning, growing & working together with filipinos in my office, his jokes is real, on point & relatable & that is what makes it funnier😂😂😂
You are a treasure! You know, it’s not just Filipino moms, it’s all moms. We love our kids so much, we don’t want them to suffer in life the way we have so we try very hard to let them learn from our mistakes. It’s sometimes we get to feel those mistakes twice because when your child goes through something the mother does too emotionally. You have done a great job, Mom, he is a kind loving happy man. That’s because of your sacrifices and your hard work! God bless you!
I absolutely love her ❤️ she worked so hard all of her life. She is so proud of her son. ❤️ I’m so happy for JoKoy for making it after hard work and that he was able to make his mom proud 😊
Degrees don't mean anything. Education comes from anything. It comes from within and if you're great at something you don't need a degree to tell you that. Jo Koy is hilarious and his mom is so sweet!
Omg she is just ADORABLE!! Love how she confirms everything & talks so lovingly about her kids as they grew up. Love Jo Koy he always has me on stitches 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She’s adorable 🥰 his comedy about his mom is what really made me a fan! His mom is like all moms wanting their kids to have a degree and succeed! She may not have supported his comedic dreams from the beginning but she’s always been there for him as a mom 🫶🏽 congrats Mama Koy you raised a great man!!!
Everyone has to overcome adversity. It is how you handle it that makes you who you are. These people are sweet. Work hard and love others... life is what you make it!
I just wanna hug momma .. Tuff as nails but believes in her kids .. Thats all that matters .. She wanted him to be something else but yet she supported him !!!!! Mom i luv u dear
Even though you didn’t support him at first in doing comedy I know it’s because you love and worry about him. Joe incorporating you into his comedy shows what an excellent mother you are and how much he loves you. Congratulations Jo Koy and his mom. I’m know you must be super proud of him

He seems very down to earth
This is gold
@@meganshagbark6839 what a pun lol
Imagine if he answered you with: "I'm not even in the footlocker"🤣🤣🤣
She’s so real and genuine. I’m not crying. You’re crying.
Damn. When she recalled the line "Your son will go places" I just straight on cried.
Guilty as charged... I cried... Awesome Mom!
His mom is adorable and I started choking up when she was speaking beautifully about her family and culture 🥲
Same 🥺
His mom is also 🤣 funny
Me too
Me too!!

She learned what it was like living in an Italian house n I learned what it was like living in a Filipino home.
I love how she doesn't get mad at his jokes but I bet she's going to whoop his ass next time she sees him
HAHAHAH we're not sure about that 🤔
Of course.
I mean, she flexed to children as if she was about to hit them. And she’s proud of it.
What an incredibly big piece of 💩.
Lovingly so!
She's laughing her way to the bank. I'm sure Jokoy is generous with her. 💕

omg my filipino mom is sooooo insistent that she's not yelling, that's just her normal voice! glad tita here gladly owns up to it!
RIGHT... oh woops, i mean right
As my mom said, "always on full volume."
I always thought the loud voice of a Filipino mom is normal. Am guilty of that and when my children ask me why am I on top of my voice, i always answer "This is my normal speaking voice!!!!!! and matanda na ako, nabibingi na ako!!!! Ha ha
Now my daughter sounds like me, and i hate it😹
Hi regina😊

Not just filipinos mama.. Every asian and hispanic can relate to his jokes. Our mamas are the same 🤣❤

This makes that joke he does about her "acting dumb" to pretend she doesn't understand certain stuff even funnier!

I'm not Filipino, but I grew up going to a Filipino church. Jo's comedy always has me dying with laughter.
Visit The Philippines man
You are now an honorary Filipino, we are proud to claim you

I met her once. Shortly after the first Netflix special and I had never heard of him. She gave me flyer cards and told me to watch her son!
aww, thank you for sharing this... such a supportive mom
Aw she's so proud of him ❤
As an Indonesian i realy enjoyed his jokes because we have a lot of similarity in our culture. Love from Bali island, indonesia ♥️.

Jokoy's mom for me is fluent in English. Her accent is good. Jokoy is really good as a stand up comedian.. More power to responsible Filipinos like you.
English is commonly spoken and taught in the Philippines 🇵🇭
I noticed that too.
for how many year she was in U.S you expect her can't spoke English well?..
PERHAPS MAMA CAME IN AS A PROFESSIONAL WAY BACK IN LATE 60S AND EARLY 70S, AS I'VE MET SO MANY FILIPINOS DURING THE LATE 60S THAT CAME IN AS PROFESSIONALS ...
I bet that goes away when she gets mad:)

The love and effort and support during his first show is a great example of how Filipino parents go above and beyond for their kids.
I can deeply see in her eyes that she’s very proud of her son.
Omg.. Jo’s mom is the cutest. And she made me tear up, Caus she reminds me of my mom, and my mom passed away in 2019🥹

What a nice lady and so great the she supports her son. She is right you don't always need a degree to be successful just have to work hard. I have met so many Filipinos through my work and been to the Philippines 3 times and now moved here. He is right on with his jokes and they say the best comedy is real life events.
Just from seeing this I love her. And I love his love of her. Every child of an immigrant parent can relate. And those who aren't can laugh along with us and take the chance to bond.
His mom is an amazing mom. Because she did it all by herself raising her three children. I can relate as a child of a mother that was abandoned by her husband and worked 2 jobs, so rent and food was put on the table today she has 3 professionals daughters because her unrelenting love covered us all. So Jo your mom is an angel
That Flex actually scared me 😱 she's the real deal.
i love them - learning, growing & working together with filipinos in my office, his jokes is real, on point & relatable & that is what makes it funnier😂😂😂
I can see now his greatness comes from his mom. ❤️ from 🇲🇾
You are a treasure! You know, it’s not just Filipino moms, it’s all moms. We love our kids so much, we don’t want them to suffer in life the way we have so we try very hard to let them learn from our mistakes. It’s sometimes we get to feel those mistakes twice because when your child goes through something the mother does too emotionally.
You have done a great job, Mom, he is a kind loving happy man. That’s because of your sacrifices and your hard work! God bless you!
I absolutely love her ❤️ she worked so hard all of her life. She is so proud of her son. ❤️ I’m so happy for JoKoy for making it after hard work and that he was able to make his mom proud 😊
Degrees don't mean anything. Education comes from anything. It comes from within and if you're great at something you don't need a degree to tell you that.
Jo Koy is hilarious and his mom is so sweet!
Even the accent is real 😅😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Omg she is just ADORABLE!! Love how she confirms everything & talks so lovingly about her kids as they grew up. Love Jo Koy he always has me on stitches 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Man I thought jo was exaggerating. His mom is as real as his act shows lol. And the accent is almost spot on lol
it will be more accurate when she is angry. 😅
I love the Vicks Vapor rub joke. It's the running joke amongst Latinos too. I love that we have this in common.❤️🥰😍 It's the panacea!
Jokoy’s mom after Netflix,
“Who said you weren’t punny Josep? It wasn’t me. All your aunties are nurses, we need a comejan in da pamily.”
I absolutely love the stories Jo Koy told about his mother. His mother seems so lovely. 🩷
Omg she is the cutest and so proud of her son. ❤️❤️❤️
Omg. Love her so much. Showing our Filipino moms being so tough but so smart.
I wanted to hug Jo’s mom because she’s reminds me of my mom and grandma! 🙏
Sweet, humble and always wants the best for her kids
She’s adorable 🥰 his comedy about his mom is what really made me a fan! His mom is like all moms wanting their kids to have a degree and succeed! She may not have supported his comedic dreams from the beginning but she’s always been there for him as a mom 🫶🏽 congrats Mama Koy you raised a great man!!!
Mums are awesome. Don't forget to reach out to your mothers and check on her. Even if you are in a fight with her do keep her in your prayers
They are the best! but yes pls, check them once in a while ♡
Oh, she is such a blessing! No wonder Jokoy is the way he is. Heart of gold ❤
Everyone has to overcome adversity. It is how you handle it that makes you who you are. These people are sweet. Work hard and love others... life is what you make it!
I just wanna hug momma .. Tuff as nails but believes in her kids .. Thats all that matters .. She wanted him to be something else but yet she supported him !!!!! Mom i luv u dear
Even though you didn’t support him at first in doing comedy I know it’s because you love and worry about him. Joe incorporating you into his comedy shows what an excellent mother you are and how much he loves you. Congratulations Jo Koy and his mom. I’m know you must be super proud of him
I love Filipino people!!! Most loving people ever 💕
I met her before I had ever heard of him. I love him now. Shes amazing
She’s so emotional but so lovely😁. You can tell how much she loves her son, n just takes it in her stride
A relatable joke is everything, shout out to all the Filipino moms all over the world
