Comedian Jobert Austria opened up about his life now that he is based in Canada.

In an interview at the media conference of Hello, Love, Again, Jobert got candid about his experiences as an Overseas Filipino Worker in Canada.

"Dito na ako [nakatira], kasama ko na ang pamilya ko. Bale international worker na rin ako kasi nagtatrabaho ako," he shared. "So nai-experience ko 'yung mga nai-experience ng mga international worker natin, 'yung mga kababayan natin, 'yung pagpapala ng snow, naranasan natin yan."

Jobert also relayed that he once worked as a construction worker in Canada but was let go immediately.

He shared: "[Nung] bago ako rito, nag-apply ako nagtrabaho rin akong construction worker, tapos siyempre puro Pilipno 'yung mga kasama ko. Nung pumasok ako, ang sisipag nila eh kaso nung nandon na ako kwento ako nang kwento."

"After one week kinausap ako ng foreman nila sabi, 'When you came nobody's working, always laughing, just eating.' So one week pinauwi ako," the comedian revealed.
