Get to know more of this funny, kind-hearted man as he shares what we don’t know about him, his favorite travel destinations and more in GIVE ME FIVE. 

GIVE ME FIVE things that people don’t know about you

Number one, I’m part of a band, it’s called Mid-life Crisis, what you see is what you get. And, I play the guitar and I do vocals. We’re eight in the group and our peg are the Eagles. We play music from the  60’s all the way up to the present. Second is that, I’m 62 years old. The third is, lately I’m a regular at the gym. A lot of people ask me if my brother who is next to me is older than me, I’m actually the eldest of my family, ako po iyong kuya. Unlike most men, boobs isn’t my thing. That’s not the first thing I look at in a woman.

GIVE ME FIVE travel destinations

I would love to go to France, Paris, particularly. I would love to go to Italy, Greece, Africa and Spain.

GIVE ME FIVE things that make you smile

The first thing that makes me smile is when I can see that someone is enjoying what their doing so much regardless on how they look or how they sound, etc. The second thing is when in the morning I wake up and I see my wife she’s healthy, alive, and well and I walk to my children’s rooms, I look at them one by one and I see them safe and provided for and one big happy family. That feeling makes me smile. Third is when I see comedians do such a good job with their roles or their comical lines. The fourth thing that makes me smile is when I have a friend that I haven’t seen a long time ago come to me and making kuwento. Lets’ say they put their arm on my shoulder, tapos biglang sasabihin nila, ‘Pare mukhang ensayadong ensayado ka’ parang feeling ko it worked. Fifth, when I think about all the miracles that happen in our day to day lives, when I feel the love of my Lord, God, Jesus Christ, that really makes me smile

GIVE ME FIVE reasons why we should watch Pepito Manaloto

We work hard on the show every week to make sure this is a show that you will enjoy. We actually have so much fun in the show. We hope you’re having as much fun watching the show as we are putting it together for you. Secondly is, that it’s funny because of the situations, it’s not slapstick like Three Stooges. Bitoy chooses all the characters himself. He is our creative director. And now, he’s our head writer. Number five, our show is a very wholesome show. It’s wholesome and can still be funny.
