Jo Koy, a well-known Filipino-American comedian, dropped by Bacolod last Friday for the inauguration of a road constructed with donations from his foundation on the grounds of a public school.
His brief visit, which lasted six hours, to the provincial capital of Negros Occidental became viral on social media by fans who saw him in a coffee shop.
Jo Koy also visited his family in the Philippines on December 28.
He headed to Alangilan National High School, where a 412-meter road had been constructed using the P1,593,000 in donation by The Jokoy Foundation.
He met with the children and urged them to do well in their studies while assuring the school and the barangay of his continued support.
He most recently appeared in the family-friendly comedy “Easter Sunday,” which was produced by Steven Spielberg where he highlights his Filipino heritage and culture.
