Bong Revilla admitted he conditioned his body in preparation for season 2 of the weekly action-fantasy series Agimat ng Agila during a virtual press conference on Sunday, January 23.
Revilla will lead the series along with Sanya Lopez and former Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo.
“I’m very proud of this project at magagaling talaga yung mga kasamahan ko,” he said.
Revilla admitted that he underwent physical training almost every day to improve his physique. The actor star-turned-politician also boasted about the improvements in his body compared to before.
“Talagang nagpakundisyon ako physically at siyempre, we’re not getting any younger. Mga bata itong mga kasabay ko, so kailangan magpakitang-gilas din tayo. I work out almost every day. I do my boxing and kick boxing. Pati yung mga rolling-rolling na iyan, pagulong-pagulong, nandoon pa rin yung training,” he narrated.
He believed that action movies and series will never be gone in the entertainment industry.
He said,“Hindi tayo puwedeng kumawala diyan kasi lalo na sa mga ginagawa nating action scenes.”
Revilla narrated, “Action films will always be there. Mawawala iyan for a while pero babalik iyan. Maski noong panahon ng ’70s, ikinukuwento ng tatay ko at ni FPJ (Fernando Poe, Jr.) nu’ng pumasok yung bold movies, nawala yung action films pero bumalik pa rin. So, action films like sa television, ngayon, mas in yung television, babalik at babalik iyan. Tayo naman hangga’t nandirito tayo, kaya pa natin umaksyon, gagawa tayo ng magagandang aksyon para hindi mawala ito.”
Agimat ng Agila Season 2 will premiere on Saturday, January 29.
