The actor was recently announced as part of the upcoming teleserye Burado, starring Nadine Lustre and Julia Montes. Paulo also recently finished doing a movie with Janine Gutierrez. Last January, Jerrold confirmed that they already started filming the movie. The upcoming movie stars actress Jane de Leon, who was chosen from a pool of over 300.
