As “Incognito” wraps up its thrilling run, the powerhouse ensemble of Richard Gutierrez, Ian Veneracion, Baron Geisler, Maris Racal, Anthony Jennings, Kaila Estrada and Daniel Padilla will come together one last time in a gripping final mission in Marawi to defeat the elusive El Cano.
During the finale media conference held Thursday, June 26, the cast and creative team looked back on their experiences and the strong bond they formed throughout the series.
Richard Gutierrez shared how the group grew closer with each mission. “Every mission, habang tumatagal mas nagiging close yung buong grupo. Not only the actors but also the crew. Mas nagagamay namin ‘yung isa’t isa. For the finale, dito talaga nagbunga ‘yung lahat ng bwelo ng grupo namin.”
Daniel Padilla reflected on the impact the project had on him: “Masasabi kong ito ang pinakamagandang desisyong nagawa ko sa buhay ko. Grabe ang lahat ng natutunan ko, ang mga pinagdaanan ko, at ang personal na growth na naranasan ko.”
Director Lester Pimentel Ong praised the camaraderie among the cast: “They carry each other. Pag pagod na, they support each other. Kahit tapos na ‘yung scene nila, hindi sila aalis, sinusuportahan nila yung kasama nilang nagsu-shoot pa. ‘Yung moral support is very big from each other. Even ako, I get my energy from them.”
Star Creatives business unit head Des M. De Guzman emphasized how “Incognito” reflected real-life second chances: “‘Incognito’ is a story of second chances, worth and family. Alam naman natin pinagdaanan ng superstar cast natin. Hindi kami lumayo sa tunay na buhay, instead lumapit kami.”
Maris Racal shared that accepting the project was her best career decision, calling it a dream come true to act in an action series. Both she and Daniel said the show “saved” them, becoming their anchor during difficult stages in their careers.
Kaila Estrada said her character taught her about sacrifice for love and duty.
Asked about their roles, Baron Geisler said he plans to bring Miguel’s great traits as a father into his real life, while Anthony Jennings shared that he admired how Tomas expresses love and affection.
As shown in the finale trailer, the Kontraks will face off against Manuel Aguinaldo and El Cano in explosive battles set in the ruins of Marawi — marking a powerful end to the series.
“Incognito” airs weeknights at 8:45 on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, TFC and Kapamilya Online Live via ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page. Advance episodes are available on Netflix and iWantTFC.
