It can be recalled that Matteo joined the Army Reserve Command last April. According to the actor, he decided to join as his way of contributing to the Philippines.

“Because I’m a Filipino and I love my country. I think this is another avenue na i-share ko yung sarili ko sa bansa ko… Kumbaga makatulong ako sa bansa ko,” Guidicelli said in an interview recently with ABS-CBN News.
