In an interview which aired on GMA-7’s “CelibriTV” on Saturday, Ricky Lo taught Diesel about the “pabebe wave” which was made famous in Eat Bulaga’s “KalyeSerye” featuring the hit love team of Alden Richards and Maine Mendoza, also known as “Yaya Dub.”
Lo told Diesel: “In the Philippines, there’s a new way of saying ‘I love you’ without articulating it.”
The action star then did the pabebe wave in front of the camera.
Meanwhile, Diesel also revealed that his next action movie is set in the Philippines.

“Last time we spoke, I promised that I will take a movie to the Philippines and we just hired a director for xXx (Triple X) and we are literally scouting the Philippines as we speak,” he said.
In an Instagram post last August, Diesel said that filming in the country for the third xXx movie will begin in December.
During the interview, Diesel also reminisced the time he went to the country in 2013 where he rode a jeepney and was given boxing gloves by Filipino boxing champion Manny Pacquiao. AJH/RAM
