Community involvement

In 2009, Romulo was selected alongside mixed martial arts stars Jason “Mayhem” Miller and Scott “Hands of Steel” Smith as a spokesperson for the American based anti-bullying campaign Bullying...We’re Kickin’ It, which was founded in 2007. Its mission is to “help encourage positive behavior and bring attention to the long-term effects of bullying behavior.” Working with the Bullying...We’re Kickin’ It anti-bullying campaign has given Romulo a chance to work with children who are in the same situations that he was in while growing up.

Romulo is also actively involved in the Muaythai Preservation Project which provides support for local children through scholarships to train and learn the sport.
