"I need to show people where my mom's from, and I had this crazy idea. I was like, let me bring a bunch of my friends that are Filipino, that live in America, that haven't even been back to the Philippines. Let's show them how beautiful the country is, let's show them how beautiful the people are, and let's just do a show," he said in a video posted on his Facebook page.

"Everything about this special is Filipino -- the cameraman, the people in the audience, the people that own the venue," he added. "Let's embrace our culture and have a great time. And I can't wait for the world to see it."

Jo Koy, known for speaking highly of his Filipino roots in his acts, performed in Manila and Cebu last January.

During his stay in the Philippines, he was spotted shooting scenes for an undisclosed project.
