"I think Filipinos in general are just fun to be around. They like to joke around... I love the art of stand-up [comedy] but I think my roots came from my Filipino culture, our background. I always said when you don't have much, you use what you do have,” he said.

“So if you don't have money or whatever it is, then you use your talents and resources that you have with you, right? It's like funny and talent were always a big thing in our family, singing and dancing, you know, comedy, everyone was just joking around, food we always ate so it was very family-oriented," he added.

"Well, Easter is just that day when Filipinos all come out. I mean, it's more packed than Christmas. That was the significance of that day. I felt like it's like an indirect way of saying this is for Filipinos. I don't think that many people celebrate Easter as hard as we do," he said.
