It became a topic of discussion on social media after a video was posted showing an incident at a mall show where Jake Cuenca’s staff allegedly asked for the jacket he had thrown to the fans to be returned.
Jake Cuenca, also known as Juan Carlos Cuenca in real life, is an action star. He began his career at the age of nine when he was discovered by talent scout Arvin Bentonon for Cosmo Modeling Agency. Soon after, Cuenca appeared in several television and print advertisements, including those for Safeguard, Coke, and Globe Telecom. At the age of eleven, he had cameo roles in movies such as “Takbo Barbara Takbo” and “Panday” in 1998. He followed this with another cameo in the 1999 film adaptation of the fantasy anthology, “Wansapanataym.”
In 2003, he returned to show business under GMA Network and appeared in the youth-oriented drama series, “Click,” where he was welcomed as a member of its third batch. Cuenca played a number of supporting roles in “Hanggang Kailan,” “Forever in My Heart,” and the fifth season of “Love to Love.” In 2005, he starred as Kahlil in the hit fantasy series “Encantadia.”
Jake Cuenca has been part of many TV series, shows, movies, and even modeling, contributing to his fame, especially with his muscular physique. He has also been involved in a controversy where he was apprehended for not stopping at a checkpoint, allegedly out of fear because the police officers at the checkpoint were armed. However, he was later released after a thorough investigation.
In a video that circulated on social media, there was an incident during a mall show where Cuenca removed his jacket and threw it to the fans. Afterward, the fans were dismayed when the show staff instructed them to return Cuenca’s jacket. This incident resulted in negative reactions from the fans.
There is no further information available about this incident, but based on comments, it appears that most of these incidents occurred in the Visayas region, and many of those involved are Ilonggo.
