"Sa akin lang, I'm just really thankful na grabe yung trust na ibinibigay sa akin ng network. Grabe yung tiwala, yung paniniwala nila sa akin. So, with that, nandun ako sa ayoko silang biguin. I just want to be a good soldier, a good actor in my network, and I want to represent my network in a good way," says Jake Cuenca.

Hindi raw nahirapan ang young actor na si Jake Cuenca na mag-switch mula sa character niya bilang Dave sa Tayong Dalawa at sa role niya bilang Alejandro sa Rubi, ang bago niyang teleserye sa ABS-CBN.
"Kung titingnan mo talaga, medyo kabaligtaran ng character ni Dave. Iba kasi. Si Alejandro kasi, mabait na mabait ang character, sobra! So, challenging siya sa akin. Siyempre, yung ganoong role, may tendency na parang iisa lang ang itinatakbo ng character. So, challenge sa artista na gawing interesting.
"So, isa siyang role na pinag-iisipan kong mabuti. Bago ko gawin ang eksena, siguro nag-iisip muna ako ng mga limang approach sa eksena. You really have to make an effort para maging interesting ang role," saad ni Jake nang makausap siya ng PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal).
Hindi pa masabi ni Jake kung kailan ipalalabas ang Rubi, kung saan tampok si Angelica Panganiban sa title role. Pero nagbabangko na raw sila ng maraming episodes.
Aside from Rubi, Jake will also star in an episode of Agimat, playing the role of "Elias Paniki." Pero malayo pa raw yun sa isip niya dahil hindi pa naman niya ito ginagawa. Wala pa rin daw siyang idea kung sino ang magiging leading lady niya sa TV remake na ito ng dating pelikula ni Ramon Revilla Sr.
"Sa ngayon, lahat ng atensiyon ko, parang ginagawa ko munang per project. Para dun lang ang focus ko. Although, excited na excited na ako for Agimat," sabi ni Jake.
REUNION WITH CRISTINE REYES. Nakatakda ring gumawa ulit ng isang episode ng afternoon series na Precious Hearts Romances si Jake, kung saan magkakasama silang muli ng dati ring Kapuso star na si Cristine Reyes.
Kung matatandaan, nagkaroon ng intriga sa pagitan nina Jake at Cristine pagkatapos nilang gawin ang unang episode ng Precious Hearts Romances Presents Bud Brothers. Si Cristine daw kasi ang nagkakalat na may bad breath si Jake, ngunit pinabulaanan naman ito ng young actress.
Para kay Jake, hindi raw 'yon isang isyu.
"Balik-tambalan ulit kami. Similar sa Bud Brothers ang story, pero may halo siyang drama, light romance. It's good at sa akin naman, si Cristine is a very good actress. At sa kanya ko lang nararanasan yung ganoon ka-sensual na eksena. Ibang kaeksena si Cristine."
Okey na siya to work with Cristine?
"Never namang naging hindi," paglilinaw ni Jake. "Sa akin naman, like I've said before, hindi naman ako naniniwala [sa intriga noon]. And it turns out, tama naman ako. So, I'm still excited to work with her again."
Totoo bang nag-sorry si Cristine sa kanya?
"No, she doesn't have to apologize naman. Although nag-meeting kami at sinabi sa akin na magkakatrabaho ulit kami. At saka maganda naman ang nangyari sa Bud Brothers. Our episode did pretty well naman. And noong mag-meeting kami, they presented the project to us at nagustuhan naming dalawa. So, yun, go agad."
Napag-usapan ba nila ang naging isyu sa kanila?
"Wala... wala namang isyu talaga," muling-sabi ni Jake na nakangiti.
SINGLEHOOD. May isang taon na ring single at walang karelasyon si Jake. Natawa ito nang sabihin naming himala at nakatatagal siyang single pa rin.
"Nakikipag-date naman kapag may chance. Okey pa naman ako ngayon. Sa tingin ko, darating din naman ang tamang babae. At habang wala pa yung tamang babaeng yun, hindi naman bawal makapag-date. Wala namang masama dun," sabi niya.
Hindi ba siya nalulungkot na okay nga ang career niya, pero sa lovelife naman ay tila bokya siya?
"Hindi nga, e, bumingo-bingo naman ako sa mga lovelife ko noong nakaraan!" natatawa niyang sabi. "Okey naman ako. Masaya naman ako at blessed naman ako sa career ko. Sobrang thankful ako at talagang tsine-cherish at inaalagaan ko yun.
