Joel Ravanera (born May 22, 1998), [1] also known online as Malupiton, is a Filipino social media personality, content creator and entertainer. He is known for his witty and relatable content in online platforms such as Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube. He also does not use a script for his skits and instead performs them in an impromptu style, which gives his content a "natural" atmosphere while often adding simple props to make his punchlines more effective. [2] Ravanera gained popularity for his humorous takes on everyday Filipino life, usually his videos with signature catchphrases, "Aray Ko!" [a] and "Bossing! Kamusta ang buhay-buhay?" [b] or sometimes shortened to "Boss!". [3] [4]
Joel Ravanera was born in Angono, Rizal, but moved to Dasmariñas, Cavite, one month after his birth. [5] [1] He graduated from Paliparan National High School. [1] Ravanera initially aspired to become a lawyer, but financial constraints prevented him from pursuing a legal education. [1] [6]
He took on various jobs, including selling turon , electronics, and passport covers, and working as a waiter, before becoming a content creator. [7] However, a nightclub manager later persuaded him to consider working as a macho dancer, reportedly enticing him by showcasing the cars owned by other employees. [8]
In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Ravanera began uploading humorous videos under his name "Malupiton" with his group of content creators known as "Kolokoys TV". [9]
In 2022, Ravanera and his fellow content creators from "Kolokoys TV", appeared on the Philippine game show Family Feud . [10]
In one of his livestream episodes on YouTube, Lincoln Velasquez, also known as Cong TV, responded to suggestions from viewers to collaborate with Ravanera with his group, which previously appeared alongside Team Payaman during the Team Payaman Fair held in December 2023. [11] Cong TV admitted that Ravanera is one of the creators he watches, expressing great amusement at his content. [11]
In December 2024, he set to star in his debut film titled He’s Dating A Bold Star, with actress Analyn Barro as his leading lady. [12]
In 2025, he made a cameo appearance in the music video for SB19's single "DUNGKA!". [13] [14] In the same year, Actor Leandro Baldemor expressed admiration for Ravanera after working with him on a film project. Baldemor made a special appearance in a movie starring under his online username Malupiton, which is reportedly set to be released on Netflix. The film also features Filipino actress Aleck Bovick in the cast. [15] In August, Ravanera was tapped to play in a celebrity exhibition game of the Pilipinas United 3x3 League. Together with De La Salle University guard Kean Baclaan and actor David Licauco, Ravanera participated in an exhibition match against vlogger Rendon Labador's team. [3] [16]
Ravanera became widely known in 2024 for his comedic videos with the content creator group Kolokoys TV, which reflect everyday Filipino life. His popularity led to collaborations with various brands. [17] His style is characterized by improvised humor, relatable scenarios, and casual, colloquialism, often using street slang, and catchphrases such as "Bossing!" or "Boss!". He also occasionally uses profanity in his videos to emphasize jokes or reactions. Many of his videos focus on ordinary experiences, including small jobs, daily struggles, and common frustrations, which gives his comedy a grounded, approachable feel. [18]
During a live interview on the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League (MPBL), Ravanera, accidentally used the profanity "Puking-ina n'yo, boy!" (transl. You sons of bitch, boy!) while greeting viewers, which caught the audience by surprise. Following the incident, the league banned him from participating. [19] Ravanera later explained that he did not intend for the incident to happen and believed the interview was only for online content. He said no one told him that the segment was airing live and that they genuinely thought it was just for sports pages or similar platforms. He added that he had no idea the interview was being shown on television and watched by many people. According to him, the words slipped out before he realized the situation, and he apologized, saying he was sorry for what happened. [20]
In December 2024, Ravanera announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Joy Ancheta. [21] They were married in 2025. [22]
