Career

Pooh first worked at the now-defunct Nota'Kwela, a comedy bar in Caloocan, he then moved to Music Box and later to Jazz Café. He was eventually scouted by Andrew del Real of The Library.

Pooh had guested in GMA Network's SiS and in a sequence in an afternoon show of the network. Pooh claimed it was ABS-CBN that gave him the opportunity to get known to a larger audience.[2]

The comedian became a part of Banana Split cast with whom he did skits with and made impersonations as part of the show. By 2013, he became known for his impersonation of Manny Pacquiao. In additional to his stint with ABS-CBN, he occasionally receives assignments abroad as a comedian and impersonator.[3]

Also in the same year , He expressed contentment with his involvement in the show and wouldn't mind if he offered additional roles or not and would not rather force a role unto himself which he considers as not his forte. He also said that he would rather not become as popular as Vice Ganda, saying he wouldn't be able to handle the fame with a similar level to his colleague.[3]

Comedic style

Pooh said that his forte in comedy is more on impersonations and skit-based. He said he is not comfortable of using insults in doing comedy saying that he may not handle it well and end up offending someone.[3]
