At 28 years old, she has become our certified happy pill every time we scroll through TikTok or any social media feed. With her witty, hilarious, and oh-so-relatable content, Telma has carved out a special place in every Bisaya heart — one laugh at a time.
“Madi!” — A word now forever tied to her brand of humor and charm, echoing not only in Mindanao but across the country and beyond.
Hometown: Bislig City, Surigao del Sur
More Than Just a Comedian
Did you know? Behind the viral videos is a dedicated educator. Telma works as an online teacher in Davao City, holding a Bachelor of Science in Secondary Education, major in English — and yes, she proudly graduated Cum Laude. Bright, talented, and effortlessly funny — a rare combo!
From Skits to Startups
Thanks to her growing online fame, Telma has also become a successful entrepreneur, founding and owning businesses like:
• Telma Skin
• Don Macchiatos
• Don Lemon
She doesn’t just bring laughter online, but also brings joy in person — with live shows across different municipalities. Today, she’s one of the most in-demand Bisaya entertainers in the country.
Rooted, Real, and Relatable
Despite all the fame, Telma remains as humble and grounded as ever. Her kindness, authenticity, and love for her roots make her more than a viral sensation — she’s an inspiration to many.
Teacher. Vlogger. Businesswoman. Bayani sa Katawa. She’s living proof that you can chase your dreams without losing who you are — all with hard work, humor, and heart.
But who exactly is “Telma”?
As Jaime Onod shared with her fans:
“Ang Telma kay pangalan sa among silingan sauna na sabaan.”
Every character in her skits has real-life inspiration:
- Telma – the name of a noisy neighbor from her childhood
- Jesselyn – her high school classmate and valedictorian
- Charie – named after her favorite manicurista
This is what makes her content so genuine — it’s drawn from real Bisaya life, full of heart, humor, and history.
Congratulations, Telma!
