Wow naman!!!

Isang Filipino comedian, actor, director, singer, composer and a parodist na si Beethoven del Valle Bunagan or better known as Michael V. o Bitoy ang front cover ng September 2008 issue of Reader’s Digest Asia.

Michael V.  is the 2nd Filipino na naging cover ng Reader’s Digest Asia. Former President Cory Aquino was the first one to achieve that feature. Kaya until now ay hindi pa rin makapaniwala ang komedyante sa natamong recognition. Hindi nya ineexpect na siya ang gagawing cover ng Reader’s Digest. Ang kanyang buong akala ay gagawaan lang siya ng isang feature.

Pero hindi na katakataka siya ang napiling cover ng Reader’s Digest for its 5th Annual Humor Special dahil si Bitoy ay kilala sa kanyang talentong pagpapatawa at pagtranslate ng foreign pop songs sa tagalog. In fact, Michael V. won the Asian Television Awards for the Best Comedy Performance by an Actor for the years 2004, 2005 and 2006. Bigatin, di ba?

Although Reader’s Digest September 2008 issue is the Humor Special, the feature on Bitoy talks about the serious side of the comedian. Gustong malaman ng Reader’s Digest kung saan nakuha ng komedyante ang kanyang distinguished sense of humor.

Sa nasabing cover ay nakabarong tagalog si Bitoy na mukhang matanda at nakasulat ang katangang “Yari Ka!” na kanyang pinasikat sa kanyang programang Bitoy’s Funniest Video. But aside from Michael V., Singapore’s Mark Lee and Malaysia’s Harith Iskander are also featured on this issue.

Talaga namang mapapa-WOW ka sa galing ng Pinoy.
