Jo Koy, who is currently in the Philippines, said he felt “anxious” as he went through a “crazy” bumper-to-bumper traffic in Manila while heading to an event.
The Filipino-American comedian documented himself and his sister Gemma inside their vehicle in the middle of a traffic congestion, via a video on his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, April 2.
“On our way to do press, but this Manila traffic is different,” he captioned the video.
“This is giving me anxiety. I’m sorry. I don’t know how my cousin is doing this,” he said, referring to the one driving their car. “How do you do this and not get scared?”
Jo Koy also panned the camera to show the vehicles that are no longer following the road markings.
“This is crazy. Philippines, what lines? There are no street lines! If you fit, you go!” he exclaimed, chuckling. “There are 17 million people on this road right now.”
Talking to his sister who was sitting beside him, he said, “Gemma, I’m having anxiety…. Gemma, where are we gonna go? There’s nowhere to go!”
“Just when you thought they couldn’t put enough people on the road, jeepney brought some more,” he quipped.

During his Philippine visit, Jo Koy went to Bacolod for his foundation and also guested on “It’s Showtime” where he gamely participated in the program’s “Ansabe” segment.
Jo Koy is set to return to the country in June for the Manila leg of his “Just Being Koy” tour.
