Modern Day Magbobote Kyle Gianan, known as Krazykyle in the rap music scene, was officially labeled the Filipino Picker by History Channel. Fans clamor for him to have a local TV show in the vein of American Pickers, Storage Wars and Pawnstars.
One is not called The Filipino Picker for nothing. So meet the modern age, millennial version of magbobote named Kyle Gianan.
As the Filipino Picker, Kyle has been featured on several international and local TV shows, serving as an antique consultant for “Kapuso Mo Jessica Soho” where he gained popularity as a resident “tagasuri” whenever there are episodes involving antiques, specially for bottles. He was chosen for CNN’s Story of the Filipino and had a stint with History channel as he went picking all over Mandaluyong and Makati with Jaime Dempsey.
