MANILA, Philippines — Actor and Army reservist Matteo Guidicelli was named an ambassador for the youth by the National Youth Commission (NYC) on Monday.
In a Facebook post on Monday, the NYC said that his designation was based on the commission’s Resolution No. 26, series of 2019.
“Mr. Guidicelli’s patriotism and nationalism, initially manifested by being a military reservist, is expected to serve as inspiration and encouragement for the Filipino youth in the fulfillment of their role in nation-building,” the NYC said.
“The NYC looks forward to further enhance youth empowerment by designating youth ambassadors who can be role models of good citizenship through this recognition.”
Guidicelli holds the rank of second lieutenant in the Philippine Army. He took his oath in August 2019.
He also completed the 30-day Scout Ranger Orientation Course last June.
