About Sam Costanilla
Sam Costanilla is a veteran Cebu broadcaster, media-affairs consultant and Sun.Star Cebu Show columnist who has also performed stand-up comedy as one half of Dos Gwapos, a Bisaya-language comedy duo formed with veteran Cebu radio broadcaster Max "Daloydoy" Andrino. As documented in a Sun.Star Cebu feature, the pair headlined "Lingaw-Lingaw sa Handuraw," a weekly Wednesday night show at Handuraw Pizza on Gorordo Avenue in Cebu City, delivering two 30-minute sets of Bisaya-language jokes without scripts, slapstick or material that mocks people's appearances. Dos Gwapos billed themselves as "wholesome stand-up comedians," building material out of humorous observations about themselves rather than about other people, and Costanilla framed the duo's mission by comparing it to Original Pinoy Music: "We have and promote OPM ... Then we should also have OPC, Original Pinoy Comedy." Costanilla began his broadcasting career in 1978 and remains active in Cebu's entertainment scene, including co-hosting the 43rd Cebu Popular Music Festival in January 2025.
