Wally grew up in a convent and was raised primarily by a priest, Fr. His parents had Wally at a young age, but his father abandoned them thereafter to work abroad as a doctor in Wisconsin, United States.įearing commitment, Wally's mother left her child at the care of the church to finish her education. Bayola was born on in Naga, Camarines Sur to Romeo Payoyo Bayola and Fe Smith (née B?).

Originally paired with Jose Manalo, the tandem has since grown to include Paolo Ballesteros to become JoWaPao, a comedy trio proclaimed by fans as the successor of the industry stalwarts TVJ. Notable portrayals include Blacky Lou Blanco of the segment Bebot, Lola Nidora of Kalyeserye, Nanay Nunal of Barangay Jokers, Chiska of Bawal Judgmental!, and Steve Havey which spoofed American television host Steve Harvey.
