He also gave her a hoodie from his Just Being Koy Tour.
'I've been blessed by the legend. Mahal kita Apo Whang-Od,' Jo Koy said in his caption.

'Unang Hirit' throws Shaira Diaz, EA Guzman a Despedida de Soltera y Soltero
"Unang Hirit" threw a touching celebration for host Shaira Diaz and her fiance EA Guzman ahead of their wedding next week. On Friday, the UH Barkada held a Despedida de Soltera y Soltero for the couple, bringing in their family members and Shaira's bridesmaid, Arra San Agustin. The Despedida de Soltera y Soltero is a Filipino marriage tradition where the bride and groom bid farewell to their single life in a party hosted by their families. Shaira and EA said that their impending nuptials haven't quite sunk in yet. However, EA said that he's excited. "Matagal ko ring inantay to... 12 years, syempre excited din akong maging asawa ng isang Shaira Diaz," he said. Shaira said she's moved by her UH Family's efforts to send them off. "Sobrang na-touch po kami sa ginawa na to na UH Family. Malaking parte kayo ng buhay ko... sobrang excited ako," she said. "Kinakabahan talaga ako pero excited, and I'm very happy na ilang tulog nalang," she added. The UH Barkada also gave gifts to the soon-to-be married couple. Arnold Clavio gave them a blanket, Susan Enriquez gave them a pillow, and Anjo Pertierra and Kaloy Tingcungco gave them pajamas — all items decorated with the faces of Shaira and EA. Shaira couldn't help but turn emotional during the party. "Bakit parang kinakasal na kami?" she said. "Ang saya saya ko." Shaira and EA have been engaged since 2021, but only publicized it in 2024. They marked their 12th anniversary in February, their last as boyfriend and girlfriend, as they are set to get married this month. —JCB, GMA Integrated News
