Jo Koy, a Filipino-American stand-up comedian wasn't happy about the word used by Robi Domingo during a press conference for the Philippine premiere of his movie, 'Easter Sunday'.
Domingo, who was host of the program appeared to use the word 'manifestation' to described the comedian's marvelous career. He interrupted Domingo and expressed his honest thoughts why he felt not good of the word 'manifestation'.
"I don’t like the using that word, manifestation. I think it’s overused. And I think it’s misinterpreted. I think when it becomes normalized, like basic conversation then I don’t think you’re really living your dream when you constantly say ‘I’m manifesting, manifesting’ because if that’s all your visioning, then your passion isn’t there. I lived this, I’m not manifesting it.
"I can care less if anything else happens. I’m gonna live what I dreamt to do, no matter what. So I’m not manifesting anything.” Jo said.
“All of these is just a bonus feature in my career… It’s not manifestation. Don’t get me wrong I love that you(Robi) said it. I just feel like sometimes especially with this generation, I feel like they hear that word, ‘manifestation, manifestation,’ that’s all they think that it takes do it. There’s so much more to this man. Not everybody knows the back story of their success right…” Jo said added.
Later he say sorry to Domingo for interrupting. For Jo, everything he did was his 'passion' and he struggled to much before the said movie was realized.
“I didn’t mean to step on you, that’s so rude, I’m sorry…” Jo told Robi.
“Thank you for that life lesson. Now I know what Joseph feels, every time you share your life lessons.” Robi said.
“It’s a passion man. Like when you tell me ‘no’, I’m gonna show you why you should have said ‘yes’…” Jo said.
