Yung way ng pagsasalita ko. Yung kung kausapin ko lahat, parang kaibigan ko lang, yung wala masyadong walls, kumbaga. Pero masaya naman. Okay lang naman,” he told PUSH ABS-CBN. </p><p>When he’s not busy playing the role of Tomas Guerrero onscreen, Anthony said he is just like any regular guy who enjoys his day off, chilling at home. “Nag-wo-workout, kain, tulog. Tapos video games, basketball. Siguro kasama ko yung mga friends ko, gagala.”</p><p>Watch<em> Incognito</em> on weeknights at 8:45 p.m. on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, TFC, and Kapamilya Online Live (KOL) on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
