TAEKWONDO jin Pauline Lopez steps out of the mat as she stars in the new Erik Matti film Yo!
The Filipina taekwondo champion plays the role of Tala Aragon, who handles bullies using her yoyo.
“Ang sabi ko, pag binato ka ng bato, batuhin mo ng yoyo!” she said in the trailer.
In a Facebook post by Reality Entertainment, Matti said that the movie is an all green screen hyperreal fantasy movie that was shot in a studio for a day and a half. The veteran director also mentioned that they employed the help of expert yoyo-ers.
Yo! will be coming soon in cinemas.
