'I actually thought it was a prank,” said actor Paolo Gumabao of the complaint against him that was filed in court by the PNP-SAF after he posted on Tiktok a video of himself dancing while wearing the SAF uniform. | Marinel Cruz/PDI
“I immediately told Atty. Topacio about it. I’m thankful that he took the time to help me respond to the complaint. He explained that we are doing a movie about the SAF and that I wasn’t trying to make fun of any of them. The complaint has since been dismissed,” Paolo told reporters during a recent media gathering. “I’m glad it didn’t escalate anymore. I’ve learned my lesson. I will no longer post anything on social media, especially when I’m wearing any kind of uniform.
The film alternates between battle scenes and the proceedings of the PNP-Crime Investigation and Detection Group Board of Inquiry. It gives a unique perspective of that disastrous incident in Mamasapano, Maguindanao del Sur from the point of view of the investigators, survivors and witnesses. Meanwhile, Paolo said he also got to know Aljur a little bit more because of the movie. “We were able to chat because we worked on a lot of scenes together. While on the set, he told me all about his career journey, as well as his experiences when he was just starting out. I told him about mine, too.”
Paolo also took pride in having had the chance to work with award-winning indie director Brillante Ma. Mendoza in “Sisid.” He pointed out: “It’s an honor to work with critically acclaimed directors like Direk Joel and Direk Dante , to think I’m just a newbie in this industry. I appreciate all my directors. They were very unselfish when it came to sharing their knowledge.”
