Mo Twister

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohan Gumatay, with the radio name of Mo Twister is a controversial radio DJ personality in the Philippines.

All he wanted was “pocket money for school”. Instead, the then-teenager studying at De La Salle University's "sideline job" became much more. He was everywhere; on television, starring in commercials, appearing print ads and billboards, making notable appearances in movies, and even landing a recording contract. This quickly turned him into a household name. His extremely unconventional philosophies were seldom heard or seen in the Philippines.

What some perceive as careless is really just a testament to Mo’s free-spirited, loud, "Mr. Brightside" persona. A deadly combination of good looks, wit and a brutal sense of humor gave birth to the very successful "Early Returns Countdown" radio show on Magic 89.9. With Miles, his long-time on-air partner, he defined a new trend in the realm of radio that gave birth to a following that rivaled the most deranged of cults.

In 2002, Mo decided to leave the hustle and bustle of showbiz to pursue his education in the United States of America. He stayed there for quite a number of years alongside girlfriend Janette McBride.

However, he returned to Manila in 2006 and almost immediately returned to being a DJ, this time hosting the morning show Good Times with Mo with Maui and Mojo Jojo.

He is currently being toted as "controversial" because of the weekly "Forbidden Questions" segment in which he asks 40 personal/intimate/provocative questions to a celebrity guest.
