MANILA -- Filipino comedian Alex Calleja originally had no intention of joining the search for the "Funniest Person in the World."

Speaking on DZMM, Calleja said it was another person who submitted a video of his performance to the competition. "May taga-Malaysia na isinali 'yung video ko," he said.

Calleja, who is also a scriptwriter for some of ABS-CBN's comedy shows, is currently vying for the title "Funniest Person in the World" on Laugh Factory, one of the most popular comedy clubs in the United States.

He is competing against 19 comedians from different countries, such as India, Ireland, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Greece, Uganda, Pakistan, Brazil, Singapore, Jamaica, Indonesia, Finland, Croatia, Macedonia, Norway, Germany, Czech Republic, and Slovenia.
