‘No joke’: Tukomi endorses Kaunlad Pinoy

The online world collided with politics this week as social media giants Tukomi — famous for their daring pranks and 4 million YouTube subscribers — threw their support behind Kaunlad Pinoy Partylist (#133), just days before the 2025 elections.

In a surprise move that caught fans off guard, Tukomi appeared on Kaunlad Pinoy’s official social media pages, officially endorsing the party-list.

“Hindi na prank ‘to — seryoso na ang Tukomi!” read the caption, alongside a video of the duo holding a Kaunlad Pinoy sign and flashing their trademark hand signs.

Netizens quickly celebrated the mix of humor and advocacy — a blend both Tukomi and Kaunlad Pinoy are known for.

Kuya Choi, Kaunlad Pinoy’s first nominee, welcomed the endorsement: “We may come from different platforms, but we share the same mission — to uplift everyday Filipinos. We’re honored to have Tukomi’s trust, especially given their massive influence among the youth.”

Whether through laughs or legislation, Kaunlad Pinoy’s momentum is no joke.
