KAHIT SOBRANG UMASENSO NA SA BUHAY SI JOSE MANALO AY TALAGANG MAGUGULAT KAYO DAHIL GANITO LANG SIYA KASIMPLE!

One of the fiercest rivals that a celebrity could face isn’t necessarily other stars, but themselves. Most of the time, fame and fortune can cause some celebrities to be sent into a downward spiral. While some stars let their popularity get into their heads, there are still those who keep their feet on the ground like Jose Manalo.

Even though Jose Manalo is one of the most notable comedians of his time, the well-loved “Eat Bulaga” host remains a humble individual. The 51-year-old comedian and host is known not only for his hilarious antics onscreen but also for his humility away from the camera.

Earlier this week, several photos resurfaced on social media which made people love Jose Manalo even more! A viral post on Instagram by JoWaPao – a fan page dedicated to Jose Manalo, Wally Bayola, and Paolo Ballesteros – revealed the comedian’s simple way of life behind the scenes.

Whenever he isn’t working on the long-running noontime show, Jose Manalo chooses to relieve stress by hanging out with his loved ones. While taking a well-deserved break from work, he enjoys the company of his close non-showbiz friends. According to the short caption, the photos below were taken from Jose’s friend’s house in Tondo, Manila.

From his simple attire and humble gestures, who would have thought that this man is one of the top-earning comedians in the Philippines? Yes, you read that right! According to a report from Celebrity Net Worth, the “Eat Bulaga” host has an estimated net worth of $30 million.

In an interview with Philippine Entertainment Portal, Jose claimed that his memorable encounters with those from different walks of life during the segment “All for Juan, Juan for All” remind him to always stay grounded.

“Hindi namin iniisip na ‘eto, kaya kami nandito dahil artista kami. At maganda ang naisip ng Bulaga na yun na hindi kami lumalayo kung saan kami nanggaling.”
