Wearing the full garments of a military general in the historical days of Gregorio \u201cGoyo\u201d del Pilar, Paulo Avelino sported and channeled the inner hero in him this Independence Day.<\/p>\n

In celebration of the Philippines\u2019 120th<\/sup> year of independence, the cast of \u201cGoyo: Ang Batang Heneral\u201d led the Kalayaan parade at the Rizal Park in Manila.<\/p>\n

In spite of the weather welcoming and showering the stars and crew with rain and clouds, they continued the parade with pride, by \u2018projecting\u2019 their characters and presenting their full costumes for the first time to the public.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, first time in public and very excited kasi na-imbitahan kami ngayong Araw ng Kalayaan <\/em>(because we were invited this Independence Day),\u201d Paulo said in an interview with ABS-CBN.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old actor brings upon himself the task of \u201cintroducing\u201d Goyo to the younger generation \u2013 considering it as his biggest movie break in his career.<\/p>\n

“Gusto ko ipakilala hindi lang si<\/em> Goyo kundi pati ibang bayani natin na tao lang sila tulad natin na nagkakamali din at hindi perpekto<\/em> (I want to introduce Goyo and our other heroes as people like us who commit mistakes and are not perfect),” Paulo stated.<\/p>\n

Paulo, who was riding a horse for the parade as part of his act as Goyo for the big screen, said that he seemed to be \u201covertrained\u201d for the scenes.<\/p>\n

\u201cOvertrained dahil ang<\/em> teacher namin, si<\/em> Teacher Violet, medyo<\/em> advanced na masyado ang tinuturo niya sa amin<\/em> (Overtrained because our teacher, Teacher Violet, is teaching us really advanced tricks),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also added that the wardrobe details from his cap, to his military attire, to the horse, and everything else that was part of his character-playing were born from deep and wide research.<\/p>\n

“Properly-researched at may mga pinag-basehan din naman pero ‘di natin masasabi kung ano ang<\/em> exact na itsura niya<\/em>\u00a0[Goyo] in person (The details were properly-researched and had basis, but we cannot say for sure how exactly Goyo looks in person),” Paulo noted.<\/p>\n

Other stars who were in their costumes were Mon Confiado, Rafa Seguion-Reyna, Art Acuna, and Gwen Zamora.<\/p>\n

\u201cGoyo: Ang Batang Heneral\u201d will be hitting the theater screens on September 5. It is the sequel to the 2015 hit historical film \u201cHeneral Luna\u201d starring John Arcilla and directed by Jerrold Tarog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
