Actor Anthony Jennings first endeared himself to audiences playing the adorably funny Snoop Manansala in ABS-CBN’s 2023 drama series Can’t Buy Me Love, followed by his role as the lovestruck Ray Regalado in the film Sosyal Climbers released earlier this year. Last April 7, the 24-year-old actor shared with the press what he feels for his role as the street smart Tomas Guerrero in the hit action series Incognito. 

“Sobrang grateful ako sa lahat. Siyempre, nadaanan namin yung hirap at ginhawa sa set kung paano namin ginagawa dati, yung mga times na basa na yung mga paa namin  pero tuloy tuloy pa rin kami. Pero yung hirap at ginhawa, sobrang sulit niya. Okay niya. Nung una parang, ‘Kaya ba namin ito, direk?’ Ang daming questions eh pero nung napanuod na namin yung trailer, hindi na namin inexpect na ganun pala yung habulan sa jetski, ganun pala. Sobrang amazing lang. Sobrang nakaka-proud na parte pa rin ako ng show na ito. Sana hindi ako mamatay! (laughs)” he said.

Having shot the series at locations inside and outside the country, Anthony explained why their episode shot in Italy was the most memorable one for him.

“Marami kasi halos lahat naman kasi memorable. Siguro yung sa Italy for me kasi yun talaga yung pinaka kumpleto kami. Yung mga memories ko dun iba eh (laughs). Siguro na-enjoy ko yung ganun, sa Italy namin kasi mas kumpleto kami dun eh. Buo yung grupo dun. Nabigyan ako ng core memory dun eh. Binigyan ako ng peklat sa tuhod (laughs). Astig din. So yung sa Italy and Palawan.”

Since the show started airing in January, Incognito has consistently become one of the most watched series in Netflix and iWantTFC. Anthony admitted that more than the success of the show, he also considers it a blessing to have created a real bond with his fellow cast members like Daniel Padilla, Richard Gutierrez, Baron Geisler, Maris Racal, and Kaila Estrada.

The series’ most recent action sequence locations were shot in snowy Yamagata, Japan where they filmed for almost two weeks.

“Sobrang grateful ko lang na parte pa rin ako ng napakagandang show na ito. Yun nga, pag medyo matagal na kayong nag-shu-shoot tapos nararamadaman mo na medyo patapos na kayo, iba na yung pakiramdam eh. Andun na yung medyo parang malulungkot ka na. Parang kailangan ko sila makita palagi eh. Every time na magsusuot ako ng uniform, yung pang-Kontraks, iba yung pakiramdam eh. Feeling ko, medyo matagal tagal ko ring hindi mararamdaman ulit yun eh. Siyempre nakaklungkot pero at the same time happy ako kasi love na love ng mga tao yung characters namin.

“Na-e-enjoy nila yung mba ginagawa namin. Sana magkaroon pa ng Season 2 para marami pa kaming puwedeng ibigay eh. Maraming salamat siyempre sa lahat ng nanunuod at sumusuporta. Sana magpatuloy pa rin yung suporta nila sa show namin,” he said.

Apart from Incognito, Anthony is also set to make his international film debut in Sonny Calvento’s  horror dramedy Mother Maybe, which is set to begin shooting at the end of the year.
