On old man in a Barong Tagalog posed for Reader’s Digest Asia this September. The picture isn’t really one of his nice shots. With his face covered with wrinkles, and a smile that’s barely there, who would expect that he would make it to the famous magazine, more so be the cover. But judge not the face…. for such is part of his many masks.
Yes, the person that you will be seeing in the cover of Reader’s Digest Asia is no other than the multi-talented… and multi-faceted Michael V. You heard it right guys! This gifted comedian has spread his horizon adding another feather on his cap.
In the Philippines, he is an effective funny-man in the longest-running Gagshow, Bubblegang. He also hosted the Philippines counterpart of America’s Funniest Home Videos titled Bitoy’s Funniest Videos, Yari Ka! He has ennumerable tv ads and has been one of the effective product endorsers in the country. As a comedian, his antics are both witty and funny. Whichever side you are in the spectrum (of the Philippine television)…whether you are a Kapuso or a Kapamilya, both sides would agree that Bitoy is undoubtedly one of the funniest, if not the funniest comedians in Philippine showbizness.
And now, as the cover of Reader’s Digest Asia he has proven that he is capable of conquering Asia with his unique humor. This is just the start of another milestone in his life… a wider scope for him to victimize. Yari ka!
***Michael V. aka Bitoy is only the Second Filipino after Former Pres. Aquino to be put in the cover of Readers’ Digest Asia
i’ve read in the PEP that he is the second asian to land the cover of reader’s digest magazine if im not mistaken,heheeh..proud pud ko uy!i love michael V…
Yes lods, he’s the only second Filipino….second to Pres. Cory. I too love him so much! Hats off to the man whose humor is designed for the intellectuals. heheh!
I love Michael V! He made me and the rest of the Filipino people proud. Everyone loves him regardless of network affiliation. The entry in Reader’s Digest is attempting to dissect the real Michael V. not as comedian, singer, actor or professional. I think it’s worth the read.
Oh Gush! Kaya pala yari ka cause it’s Michael V. I really admired him alot and didn’t find him corny in all his jokes. Back home every friday night we lay down file like a sardines watch Bubble Gang in the AVR room.
darn it Jacs we can’t be able to read it coz such is not circulated here in the US. I would really love to know more about him. He is my favorite comedian back home. He is very down-to-earth and very intelligent.
amazing kaayo si bitoy mamadon sa? we can’t help but be proud gyud uy, labi na kay idol bya ni nato. and we watch all his shows all the time…(sauna sa pinas).
