I had the chance to chat with Jo Koy ahead of Easter Sunday's theatrical release, an intentional choice because he wanted to give Filipino families the experience of seeing themselves on the big screen, and it was like sitting down in front of a mirror (our outfits were even twinning 👯‍♀️). He shares why he thinks it took so long for Filipinos to get their own movie, the reason he thinks our family members are so close-knit (for better or for worse #chismis), and the main reason he has always been unabashedly proud to be a Filipino American, an explanation that brought him to tears. 🥹 On behalf of the culture, salamat @jokoy — mahal kita! 🫶🏼🇵🇭 (And thank you x one million to @melissahyang for the opportunity! 💗)
