Philippine comedians met excited fans and sponsors at Pinpin Restaurant in Surrey last night. The trio flew in from Toronto last Tuesday.
Klownz Comedy Bar’s Allan K raved about Vancouver and the Filipino dishes that owners Jojo and Virginia of Pinpin served during dinner. “I’ve been almost to all parts of the globe because of my job… among all of the Filipino restaurants that I’ve been to abroad, outside of Philippines, this is the best!”
Simply the Best TV show host Luisa Marshall interviewed the famous trio from the Philippines and laughed about impersonator Ate Gay’s expressing her fear of the English language to add to the lively conversation.
When asked if they’re proud being Filipinos, comedian Boobay proudly said “I believed that Filipinos are survivors. As you can see, we easily adjust, adapt to any place and we can excel wherever we are!” Then Allan K followed up with “Tayong mga Pilipino, para tayong mungo, kahit saan mo itapon tutubo tayo! (We, Filipinos, are like Mung Beans, anywhere you throw us, we will surely grow).
Their Canada tour started in Winnipeg, Saskatoon and Toronto. According to Allan K, Vancouver being the last stop will be the best. Allan K guaranteed that the River Rock show will be hilarious, “pag hindi kayo natawa, balik pera” (if you didn’t laugh, will give back your money).
