Inside: Jon Santos
A comedian aims to spoof Charice, Anne, Vilma, Nanay Dionisya, Pnoy and the whole nation. We can already call him the spoof lord of the Philippines because, everyone can spoof someone but Jon only can spoof someone that 85% of what he looks will never be seen once he portrayed someone in the stage, and he got the sense and the importance's of what a viewer should know. Informative, revolutionary, and entertaining at the same time.
"Ever since I’ve entered the comedy profession, I’ve always preferred small venues. Yun ang nakasanayan ko
na." - Rappler.com
"My specialty is political satire na scripted, memorized,
and rehearsed. Unlike sa mga shows nga ng tulad ni Vice Ganda, spontaneous lang siya. Yun kasi ang crowd niya."
Dressed and high-heels on . Spoofing is his way to inform and talk with people about the social issues in our country. It is also his way to express his feelings, not only his feelings but also what everyone feels. He speaks for the people, the thoughts that an ordinary man can't talk, in tagalog. (Tikom ang mga bibig.) A deep thought, I can't explain it further.
Who is John Santos?
We only know him by name, by his profession, and by the social issues that he's been pointing on his spoofs. Jon Santos is Jon Santos. Some might see him as a high-class person because of his proffession and the big projects comming up to him, but the truth is he was just him.
A simple person who has the vision of informing people from the social issues, opening their minds, and letting them to know what they should know and speak-up for them selves.
A simple person who knows how to love.
A simple lover, and being loved by the people around him.
A Tito to his niece.
A Wife to his thoughtful Husband.
A Teacher for everyone.
Jon Santos is one of the Artist/Comedian that you can approach easily. You need a guidance? He'll guide you. You want to know him? He's open for everyone to get to know him. You want to learn and open your mind about the political issues? He'll tell you what you supposed to know, the good once, the negatives, and the solutions you have to know tho in a different way.

"You should know your crowd."
"You should know your crowd kasi iba ang jokes na pang-Makati at iba rin for those who go to comedy bars. I can’t handle a very big crowd of people kasi iba-iba na gusto ng mga ‘yan ." - Rappler.com
