In a recent interview, Yatar was asked about his preparation heading into the World Finals.
“I did a lot of things. First was physical conditioning. I went to the gym and strengthen my body from head to toe. Also, I continued my training sa dance. I took classes so I can expand yung vocabulary ng body ko and my way of moving. I went to Singapore, La Union, and Manila to test yung current skills ko tsaka yung ano yung current condition ng katawan ko to see kung ano pa yung pwede ko i-improve.” he stated.
