Thank you Sir for allowing me to meet you and talk to you about family problems...I'm sad co'z I didn't have time to go to visit you but I am praying that you are in the hands of our Creator LORD JESUS CHRIST...I just wish you can guide us here...

I miss a friend, a counselor, and a brother...

You reignite my faith on God kuya joey. Thank you for the story you shared to us.

Mr. Velasco,

I never knew you.. your video popped up on my facebook page from a friend who posted your work with little children.

I was very much touched and inspired while I was viewing your video.. I googled you becaused of my interest who you were and wanting to know you more... it was then I learned while I was reading the post of every person the news that you were no longer with us.

You may no longer with us, but your bright, kindred spirits lingers among us.. Thank you for your humbleness and kindness and through your paintings reached out many to make them think twice on what really is important in this world....

God Bless you and may you Rest in Peace.. Condolence to Mr. Joey Velasco family...

GOD speed you to heaven.brother!I have never known you nor heard of you but only on TFC.I am residing in Oman presently,an ex OFW w/my grown up kids.I was deeply touched & although only on tV screen I saw your paintings,I felt the life in them,the  messages that they conveyed.Your paintings are not mere work of art,the Holy Spirit was upon you during those times when you were painting those.I wish with all my heart to see all of them personally when I get back home to the Philippines.

Rest in peace ,brother and enjoy the LOVE of our Lord.Pls.pray for our country & all the whole world that we may see the truth in the messages your painting convey,that Jesus loves us & we only need to believe & reach out to HIM.

I learned about you and your paintings just this morning while I was watching UKG. I was so moved by your masterpieces and I was so amazed by your talent. I hope I have personally known you before you passed away.. No one can ever portray the lives you have shown us in your paintings.. Thank you for your art works, thank you for your selflessness and thank you for your LEGACY!

I am working on religious talk, I was told to browse for your work. I cant stop crying while looking at your paintings...and later on realized you have passed on. Thank you for your great work, thank you for the inspiration, thank you to sharing your life with us. I have no doubt that you have seen the creator and you are with him, painting still....GOd bless your wife and kids and those you have left behind...I pray that GOD  continue to bless them all, I know you will find a way to whisper to his heart to TAKE CARE OF US. Thank you.

All i can say is WOW. Mr. Joey Velasco, you are truly one great PINOY artist. I just saw your paintings this morning at a bus going to my office. All of a sudden, I was moved by the portrait of the "Last Supper" with all the street kids on it.

 I am not a very religious guy, but i told myself, what am i really living for?

Because of you, your artworks, and your passion, i decided to be a more mature person, especially towards kids.

 Thank you very much Joey. You have changed my life in a blink of an eye.

Galing kita ko mga paintings mo...I know that you inspired alot of people..galing astig...Sana magawa ko rin makapag vector ng ganyan sa photoshop...

Tapos mo na ang mission mo kaya congratulations..job well done... 

Joey,

lost, i am no longer

this is a big wake up call

you will forever be an inspiration

i now have direction, of what to do with my life

i hope to carry on the message that you offered your own life  to convey...

i pray that i will be able to do so. watch over me to follow your example so that i may tread the same path as you have. i will forever be grateful.

Salamat Mr. Joey Velasco ... sa pagbibigay mo sa amin, mga Pilipino, ng salamin at bintana. Sa mga obra mo, tunay mong ipinakita sa amin ang kalagayan ng ating maraming kabataan at ang realidad na dulot ng sobrang kahirapan sa ating bansa ... isang salamin kung saan nakikita namin ang aming mga sarili at ang aming pagwawalang-bahala sa harap ng matinding pagdurusa ng maraming kabataan sa ating bayan. At isang bintana, kung saan natatanaw namin ang pag-asa na nasa bawa't isa sa amin ... sa tulong at basbas ng Poong Maykapal ... upang gamitin ang biyaya ng Diyos sa bawa't isa para sa ikapagpapabago ng sitwasyon ng ating mga maralitang kababayan ...

Napapanahon ka .... tunay na hinayaan mo at inialay mo ang iyong kakayahan hindi lamang sa Diyos kundi sa mga kabataan na ipininta mo at sa lahat ng iyong kababayan ...

Tunay na ikaw ay pinagpala ... sana kami rin ay matutong gamitin ang pagpapala sa amin ng Diyos para sa ating bansa ...
