Joey de Leon reacted to some petitions who were pushing their legendary trio with Tito, and Vic Sotto to become the next National Artist in the Philippines.
According to some reports, some groups were pushing TVJ to become a national artist due to their contribution to the entertainment industry, which included hosting the longest-running noontime show Eat Bulaga.
The comedian made a witty reaction to the said petitions, saying that they would be better to be labeled as “function all artists”
“May nag-suggest gawin na raw kaming National Artists pati Eat Bulaga. Sabi ko WAG NA. Gawin nyo na lang kaming FUNCTION ALL ARTISTS! Eh kasi we’ve covered nearly everything—-radio, TV, newspaper, recording, movies, arts, politics, etc. pero seriously, starting today watch our Lenten offerings in EB. Thanks!” said Joey.
