Short Bio EN

Boybulkit Comedy is one of the most-watched Bisaya comedy brands in the Philippines. Created by Teomie Nale Jr., a.k.a. Boy Bulkit, from Manolo Fortich, Bukidnon, the troupe Artistang Hilaw produces scripted sketches and "dramedy" mini-series about everyday Bisaya life: debts, neighbours, habal-habal rides, love potions and the eternal question of who Bulkit's real wife is.

Since the Bulkit character debuted in 2017, the brand has grown to over 214,000 YouTube subscribers, 48 million+ YouTube views and a Facebook page with 3.8 million followers (1.2 million likes), with recurring characters Nanay Goyang, Maam Cora Khot and Maam Kahoy becoming household names across Mindanao and the Visayas. Fans call themselves Bulkiters. The brand's slogan, "Bisakol - Bisayang Kolokoy", says it all: proudly Bisaya, proudly ridiculous.

Before comedy, Nale worked as a call-centre agent, a fast-food store manager and as radio DJ "DJ Boy" on 104.7 FM Cagayan de Oro. He holds an AB English degree from Central Mindanao University and was a fellow of the 19th Iligan National Writers Workshop (May 2012) for Cebuano poetry.

From Daddy ChewMe to Boybulkit

The Facebook page and the YouTube channel both started life as Daddy ChewMe Comedy: the YouTube channel was created on 8 December 2012, and early uploads were Cebuano barkada sketches ("Pahubog-hubog kun Tanduay ang Tagay", "Ang uyab nimo, gi-uyab sa imong Barkada") plus the occasional food vlog. "Daddy ChewMe" was Nale himself, posting as Jun-Jun Nale. The breakout came with the three-part Facebook sketch "Bulkit", "Bahin" and "Sungkaban": part one passed 13 million views and 213,000 shares, part two 8.8 million views. The brand was renamed Boybulkit Comedy around that series, while the Facebook handle (facebook.com/daddychewmecomedy) and the hashtag #DaddyChewMeComedy were kept. The page's own tagline today: "Saksak Sinagol katawa Bisakol", a hodgepodge of Bisaya laughs.

BAKLAYNERS

BAKLAYNERS (from the Cebuano baklay, to trek on foot) is the crew's charity outreach series and the name the team goes by on those walks. It began on 8 April 2020, in the first weeks of the COVID lockdown, with the episode "Let us Help the Poorest of the Poor" and the challenge "I challenge the poor to extend help to the poorest. Kaya nato ni!" Team Bulkit walks, often for hours and over mountains or rivers, to remote households in the Bukidnon hills (Sagpang, Kalugmanan, Kalaniyogan, Mambatangan, Malitbog, Alawon, Mantaboo, San Miguel) and brings rice, cash, food and Christmas gifts, funded by viewers, overseas Filipino workers and anonymous sponsors. More than 25 episodes have been published on the main channel between 2020 and 2024, the most-watched being "Bulak Barter Bugas (BAKLAYNERS 19th day)". Series motto: "Bisan layo, bisan kapoy, basta makaya pa" (however far, however tiring, as long as we still can). Hashtags: #BAKLAYNERS #Poorestofthepoor #helpthepoorest.
