How will ‘Jon to the World’ be different from his past shows? “There will be more music, more singing, more dancing na naka-harness pa ako. This will be a big giant Christmas get-together. A celebrity fiesta as may bago kong impersonations, sina Shamcee Tsuptsup at Charice Penpendesarapen-pengco. Siempre, lalabas din sina Tita Gloring, Krissy, Sherrap Estrada, Tita Midz, and the Queenstar for all Seasons, Ate Vi.”
How many celebs has he impersonated since he started doing it 20 years ago? “Naku, ang dami na. Shamcey is not the first beauty queen I’m impersonating dahil nauna na sa kanya si Dayanara Torres. But I’m now doing Shamcey’s tsunami walk. I’ve done Jolina Magdangal before, Regine Velasquez, Pres. Fidel Ramos, Sen. Miriam Santiago and even foreigners like Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie and now, Apple de Ap who I call Pineapple.”
How does he choose those he’d impersonate? “Siempre, una, kailangang popular sila and there’s a strong public opinion about them. And it’s important also that I like them. Gusto ko rin ng characters that make me sing, like Tita Midz and Charice.”
Who are his favorites among those he impersonate? “Siempre, una si Ate Vi, dahil Vilmanian ako. Pero happy rin ako about Ate Guy’s comeback. Si Ate Vi kasi, for all seasons talaga, from awards season to holiday season, election season, back to school season and even Marco Sison. Ang maganda kina Ate Vi at kay Sheraff, they cross over from showbiz and politics kaya mas colorful sila.”
