Making his debut at the 2023 Metro Manila Film Festival, actor Matteo Guidicelli is on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as he portrays Philippine cinema's legendary superhero 'Pedro Penduko'

Oct 25, 2023 07:16 AM"It's truly overwhelming," said Matteo when asked how he feels about entering the fantasy genre for this year's MMFF. He also revealed that the project took four years to finish because it was put on hold due to the pandemic.

From the different versions of Janno Gibs, Matt Evans, and Ramon"Bong" Revilla, Jr. Pedro Penduko has become a staple in Philippine cinema regarding Filipino folklore and culture. He also shared that one of his biggest challenges while preparing for the role was his physical appearance and learning all the Tagalog lines in the film.

But one thing took his attention: each version still showcases a platform of Philippine folklore and mythology.
