Let&#x27;s just have fun through this movie,&quot; Consul said in an interview.</p><p>&quot;Bale hindi po sinasadya &#x27;yon actually. May mga moments na sobrang natural ng scene. Lumalabas ang pagka-Filipino natin so sabi nila,m &#x27;sige gawin mo lang. Tagalog na lang natin para may konting flavor din since ang role ko naman dito ay Filipino. At the end of the day the director and the producers they liked it so it&#x27;s a proud moment for me also na mapanood ng Indonesian na may naririnig sila na Tagalog. Filipino represent,&quot; Consul said about his Tagalog lines in the film.</p><div><span class="fr-video fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><video class="fr-draggable" controls="" src="blob:https://od2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com/baaf2a1b-a7db-4ef6-a262-7cf534fe024f" style="width:600px">Your browser does not support HTML5 video.</video></span></div><p>&quot;Bukan Jodoh Biasa Nih&quot; is scheduled for theatrical release on March 13.</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/12/01/21/kilalanin-leo-consul-aktor-sa-no-1-indonesian-drama" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Kilalanin: Pinoy na si Leo Consul, isa sa bida sa numero unong Indonesian drama</a></div><p>Consul was one of the stars of hit 2021 Indonesian series &quot;Terpaksa Menikahi (Forced Marriage).&quot;</p><p>He started working as teacher in Indonesia before becoming an actor there. </p><p>In 2018, he became one of the hosts of &quot;It&#x27;s Showtime Indonesia.&quot; -- Report by Wendy Palomo, ABS-CBN News, Jakarta</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/08/31/18/kilalanin-pinoy-singer-na-celebrity-na-ngayon-sa-indonesia" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">KILALANIN: Pinoy singer na celebrity na ngayon sa Indonesia</a><strong></strong></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>FROM THE ARCHIVES:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/3RR3qiChGnM?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ev85AZkC1pQ?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rH2I10JlySk?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BLficTvQKAY?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1jITe-NOOmQ?&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/></div>
