Jake Cuenca on Coco Martin: ‘I’m star struck on him’

Jake Cuenca

Jake Cuenca also wants to do indie films, just like Coco Martin.

With Tayong Dalawa nearing its conclusion, Jake promises fans that the best is yet to come. it will be a big, big ending. “As an actor, I always give my best. I make it to a point that whether it’s a big scene, it’s a big role, or it’s a small role, it does not mattr to me. I just give my best and I act like there’s no tomorrow.”

The actor said that he hardly has a break nowadays because of his hectic taping schedules, but he does not feel tired at all. “I love my work. This is my passion, this is what I believe that I am destined to do. I pray everyday and I wish people would want to keep me here so I can do this for a long, long time.” And even if he hadn’t made it in the biz, Jake still sees himself devoting his time to acting. “Most likely I’d still be acting in theater or indie films. I will act in indie movies or I will teach acting in children that’s how much I love to act.”

Jake said that he definitely wants to do indie films in the future. “Cause of course due to time constraints I can’t accommodate it yet. I am a big fan of the indie industry and that’s something I really plan to do. Maybe next year.”

Jake has received a lot of indie project offers, but he said he wants to work with director Brilliante Mendoza first. “Yeah, I have been offered some but I really want to do it with Direk Brilliante because I am really impressed with all his movies, especially the Kinatay. I watched it and wow! I’m so amazed with Coco. I was star struck on him. He’s very good.”
