Azkals Members Do a Cameo on "Tween Academy: Class of 2012"

Members of the country's football team, Philippine Azkals, agreed to do a cameo in the upcoming youth-oriented movie by GMA Films - Tween Academy: Class of 2012.

Team Captain Aly Borromeo, Chieffy Caligdong, and Ian Araneta have already shot their scene where they taught football to one of the leads of the movie.

Bea Binene, who was in the scene with the athletes, said she was so happy when she saw the Azkals. “Ang saya-saya ko nang makita ko sila," she told Chika Minute last Thursday. "Kasi siyempre parang, oh, Azkals 'di ba? They compete sa ibang bansa nasa national team sila."

Aly Borromeo said they agreed to do a cameo in the movie to promote their sport further and to inspire the youth.

But weren't they nervous at all in front of the camera? “Wala naman its more natural talaga parang nagtuturo lang kami sa bata," the Team Captain said.
