To play the titular Lolong, a young man with the unique ability to communicate with a huge crocodile named Dakila, Ruru worked on getting leaner for a more sculpted physique.

He has been sharing photos and videos of his progress on his Instagram account.

Ruru has been regularly working out with his coach Ghel Lerpido.

He has also changed his diet to help him achieve his body goals.

"Right now I'm doing carb cycling--four days na low-carb. Basically pinakamalakas na carb intake ko is 50 grams a day. Ang protein ko 200 grams daily," he explained in a previous interview.

"Mayroon akong one day na 300 grams na carbs. Medyo tricky kasi first time ko ginawa itong diet na ito but effective naman so far. At least nakakakain pa rin ng tama," he adds.

Ruru's most recent selfie shows off how his hard work has paid off.
