The funny reasons why Joy Barcoma wants to work with Alden Richards and Marian Rivera

Joy Barcoma has named the two Kapuso celebrities she wants to work with.

During her debut as a Kapuso hostmate on “Unang Hirit” Monday, Miss Earth Philippines 2025 said she wants to work with Alden Richards and Marian Rivera in a show.

“Si Alden Richards. Kasi ‘Pambansang Bae’ — eh di ba po ang moniker ko, ‘Pambansang Jusa?’” Joy said.

Meanwhile, she picked Marian because “pangarap ko pong mamalditahan.” 

“Kasi po di ba may prank video siya na nag-viral?" Joy began. "Parang gusto ko ‘yon."

She adds that Marian always portrays such good characters in her projects. "Parang never ko pang nakita si Miss Marian na masungit bukod sa revenge plot ng ‘Marimar,’ and ‘Dyesebel'," she continued.

"Parang pangarap ko pong mamalditahan niya. Ako po ‘yung i-prank niyo Miss Marian!”

Joy finished in the Top 8 of Miss Earth 2025, Natalie Puskinova of the Czech Republic eventually took home the crown.

Throughout her campaign, Joy regularly trended on social media for her hilarious posts.

Aside from her “Unang Hirit” hosting stint, Joy also recently joined “Dogshow Divas” as a guest host.
