June 9 ------ On Instagram, the Kapuso actor proudly shared that he won gold and bronze medals in his two Jiu-Jitsu fights at the Pan Asians 2024. "Glad I was able to push myself to experience the competition jitters again, because damn it is addicting," he said in his caption. "I'd do this again, especially competing in the open weight division." "Friends and teammates said don't even try it after seeing my giant opponent, I said why not. I left the event yesterday feeling proud of myself for taking on this challenge for the year," he added.
