He lapses into a medley and recites just one line, and the audience rolls down the aisle. He changes the lyrics of a song and pandemonium erupts at Teatrino, where he recently joined friends Nolyn Cabahug, Eric Cruz and Lisa Cabahug in a show dubbed Where Da Truth Lies (Musikalokan).
But there’s more to Dyords than meets the eye. A lot more. The real Dyords is world's apart from Tolongges, his bumbling cowboy persona in a blockbuster movie.The real Dyords is dead serious over a lot of things.
Foremost of them is love of country. Years of performing for OFWs all over the world indelibly nurtured an unflagging patriotism in Dyords. It has given birth to an advocacy called Ang Galing ng Pilipino, proactively upholding all things Pinoy – talent, products, characteristics, inherent good values, etc.
"I’d be the first to prevent a Filipino husband from going abroad to work. It’s lonely out there. The temptations are horrendous. And it’s statistically proven to be unhealthy in keeping the family," he explains.
Dyords’ soft spot for the OFW comes out everytime he produces shows for them for his Sterling Studios.
He also wouldn’t mind them – or his other kababayan – calling him Pareng Dyords. It connotes things inherently Pinoy, things Dyords is proud of.
Sharing his talent again is what Dyords is looking forward to when he mounts his series of shows, Dyords Ko Po! Series Two at Teatrino Greenhills on Tuesday, July 31, 7:30 p.m. He will deliver his trademark punchlines, his engaging songs, his tongue-in-cheek adlibs and spiels. (which he himself writes, Dyords being a writer himself)
This show is produced by Rotary Club of Makati West and sponsored by Andok’s Litson Corp., Honda Cars Kalookan and LSA Printing Press. Beneficiaries are the Tuloy Foundation and Don Bosco Training Center. Tickets are available at Teatrino.
