MATTEO GUIDICELLI
SASABAK na sa 45-day training program si Matteo Guidicelli bilang reservist ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) sa Camp Tecson sa Bulacan.
Desidido na talaga ang aktor na mapabilang sa mga sundalo ng AFP. Isang buwan mawawala ang boyfriend ni Sarah Geronimo, “I’ll be gone for one month. I’m entering the military, I’ll be in the military for one month. I’m entering on May 27 then I’ll be out July 1.”
“It’s not normal military, it’s a scout ranger school. Actually you know, hindi ko naman plano talaga e, it was never planned na ito na gusto ko na talaga. But back when I was in college I was always walking to my dorm.
“Sa America kasi, mayroong mga booths na parang ‘Join the Military’ and I was tempted to go inside, but I never had the courage to do so,” paliwanag ni Matteo sa panayam ng ABS-CBN.
“Few months back, the people of sky diving were rangers, people from the military and I got close with them sabi ko, ‘How can I be like you?’” natatawang chika ng binata.
“These people are all heroes, people know about their efforts but not really. These guys are heroes of our country, these guys serve our country.
“We have hundreds of soldiers who died for our country and sabi ko a civilian like me, how can I help, how can I show importance to soldiers, how can I show importance to Filipino soldiers. So ayun, dahan-dahan everyday a new opportunity came,” mahabang sabi ni Matteo tungkol sa mga sundalong Pinoy.
“Parang this is my advocacy on reminding the Filipino youth to be proud to be Filipino, to look at the flag and say ‘I’m Pinoy’ and to proud to be Filipino,” lahad pa ng binata.
