“I am pure Filipino; both my parents are Filipino.” — Jacob Batalon Quote

“I am pure Filipino; both my parents are Filipino.”

“When I was young, we had these parties, and they'd make me sing in front of the family all the time.”

“Growing up, I wanted to be a musician. My mother, in typical Filipino-mom fashion, would always make me go up in front of people at parties to sing. Back then, as a kid, I was mortified. In retrospect, I see that doing that as a child helped me get over my fear of being in front of people.”

“I'm very careful with money - both my parents were very sensible with it and I grew up to become an obsessive saver.”

“Both my parents are Methodist preachers, I grew up in a church.”

“In fact, both my parents were doctors but I was a duffer.”
