Bitoy as Reader's Digest September 2008 Cover

The cover of Reader's Digest for their September issue is our very own Michael V a.k.a. "Bitoy" with a cover title of "Yari Ka!".

"Yari ka" is a segment in "Bitoy's Funniest Videos" which is a philippine comedy show aired every Saturday night in GMA 7 hosted by Bitoy himself. In this segment, he does various disguises to pull decent pranks to people where in the end he says the tagline "Yari Ka" just like in "You've been punked" in America's "Punked".

Reader's Digest made an international recognition to our talented fella for being a great comedian especially his outstanding ability to impersonate popular icons. The magazine admired his talent as an artist and comedian.

He was very known for his role as "Etong, Betong and Bebang" in "Bitoy's World" and lately as "Angelina's Yaya" in Bubble Gang. When interviewed and asked which character he liked best portraying, it would be as "Junee Lee" saying that it is the real Michael V, a shytype person in real life.

He was very humble to say that he was flattered to be the mag's cover for the month. He was the second Filipino to be in the cover after the former President Cory Aquino was featured for being the first lady president. Bitoy was also awarded 3 times in the Asian TV awards as comedy actor.

What a great comedian and person he is. I really admire him. I am planning to buy the RD's September issue maybe at the end of the month.
