MANILA, Philippines – With almost one million hits on YouTube, Kimpoy Feliciano (Paolo Vivas Feliciano) is easily the newest internet sensation.
Kimpoy, who became famous for his pick-up lines, is in the country for a three-week vacation. The 19-year-old based in New Zealand is set to appear as guest in several GMA-7 shows including “Manny Many Prizes” and “Party Pilipinas.” He will also trade pick-up lines with the Boy Pick-Up of “Bubble Gang,” Ogie Alcasid.
Kimpoy is overwhelmed by his growing popularity on the Internet, saying it is something he did not foresee.
“Hindi ko po talaga ini-expect kasi ‘yung sa Tumblr ko, Twitter ko, ganyan, sa Facebook, for friends lang po talaga ‘yun. Nakakagulat na lang na dumami na lang ‘yung followers ko,” he said on “24 Oras,” August 28.
During his “Manny Many Prizes” taping, Kimpoy was introduced to another Youtube singing sensation Zendee Rose Tenerefe who has been following him on cyberspace.
“Sabi niya two years na po daw niya akong pina-follow sa Tumblr, eh. Pero nagme-message daw siya sa akin (pero) hindi ko naman napapansin, eh,” he said.
Asked who among the Kapuso actresses he wants to meet in person, Kimpoy said, “Siyempre si Julie Ann San Jose.”
When pressed for reasons, he quipped, “Eh lagi…basta si Julie Anne. Boom!”
