<p>After playing the role of the cyber hacker and agent Max Alvaro in the hit primetime series <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito"><strong><u><em>Incognito</em></u></strong></a> for the past six months, actress Kaila Estrada shared just how thankful she was to be part of her first-ever action series since she made her acting debut in the ABS-CBN series <em>Scandal</em> in 2021. Last year, she also brought to life the role of Bettina Chiu in the drama series <em>Can’t Buy Me Love</em>. </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLUps9hzXqO/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=424&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A1750891.9000000954%2C%22ls%22%3A1750569.100000143%2C%22le%22%3A1750575.2999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="925" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLUqEPExJca/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=424&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A1750901.4000000954%2C%22ls%22%3A1750569.100000143%2C%22le%22%3A1750575.2999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="872" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>“Ang dami kong natutunan kasi first time ko din mag-action, same kami ni Maris (Racal). First time naming dalawa. And this has actually been my dream since I started in show business, to do something in the action genre. Kasi ang dami kong natututunan na skills di ba? I think, dun pa lang, I already felt like I’ve grown so much, noong nag-te-training pa lang kami. So that was even before actually shooting <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito"><strong><em><u>Incognito</u></em></strong></a>,” she shared with the press during the <em></em><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito"><strong><u><em>Incognito: Final</em></u></strong></a><strong><u></u></strong><em><strong><u></u></strong> Mission </em>finale presscon held last 25 in Quezon City. </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DLUrXvvy0V6/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=424&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A1750910.5%2C%22ls%22%3A1750569.100000143%2C%22le%22%3A1750575.2999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="736" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/4/21/exclusive-kaila-estrada-on-working-with-her-incognito-co-stars-they-re-all-such-gentlemen-1237"><strong>READ:EXCLUSIVE: Kaila Estrada on working with her Incognito co-stars: ‘They’re all such gentlemen’</strong></a><strong></strong></div><p>Playing a secret agent in the show, Kaila admitted she learned a lot about having a sense of duty along with the rest of her co-stars like Richard Gutierrez and Daniel Padilla. “Siguro I didn’t just learn that from my character. But I think I learned that from the whole show and our characters. I feel like it’s such a recurring theme in the show, especially when you watch the finale. About having a sense of duty, I think having a sense of duty is being able to sacrifice something for the greater good, for something greater than yourself. Our missions — may mga personal agendas din kami — lahat kami, we all come together, especially in the finale, for the greater good,” she explained. </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-3" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLUibFeJDLe/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=424&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A3%2C%22os%22%3A1752500.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A1750569.100000143%2C%22le%22%3A1750575.2999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="713" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-3" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/movies-series/2025/4/11/kaila-estrada-on-her-role-in-incognito-it-s-about-being-fearless-and-brave-1549"><strong>READ: Kaila Estrada on her role in ‘Incognito’: ‘It’s about being fearless and brave’</strong></a></div><p>Kaila said that what she has learned from playing her character in the show is something she has also been applying in real life. “Siguro what I learned from my character throughout Max’s journey is letting go. It’s really letting go. Because when you watch your journey, you see how much holding on to something is actually holding her back from moving forward and once she let go of that, another door opened. So when one door closes, another door opens. I think yun yung pinaka natutunan ko, and yun yung something na nadadala ko hanggang ngayon from Max’s character,” she said. </p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-4" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLVDnILS4LJ/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=424&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A4%2C%22os%22%3A1752541.9000000954%2C%22ls%22%3A1750569.100000143%2C%22le%22%3A1750575.2999999523%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="890" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-4" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The 29-year-old <em></em><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito"><em><u><strong>Incognito</strong></u></em><strong><u><em> </em></u></strong></a>star also revealed how she has been feeling since the show announced its finale run. “Of course I’m really sad. I’m really sad that taping is over. It hasn’t sunk in yet. Parang feeling ko naka-break lang tayo eh, parang babalik pa tayo sa taping. Hindi pa talaga siya nag-si-sink in sa akin. But I guess once this is over, once the episodes are done, hindi na kami madalas magkikita kita kasi wala na kaming mga promos, siguro dun ko mas mararamdaman. Pero siyempre na-fi-feel ko na ‘yung lungkot. Mami-miss ko yung bond nung buong cast. Not even just the cast but the whole production in general. Mami-miss ko yung taping namin. And mami-miss ko si Max. Sana may season two (laughs),” she added. </p><p>Watch Kaila Estrada on the last thrilling episodes which marks the finale run of <em></em><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito"><strong><u><em>Incognito</em></u></strong></a><strong><u></u></strong><em><strong><u></u></strong></em> weeknights at 8:45 PM on Kapamilya Channel, A2Z, TV5, TFC, and Kapamilya Online Live (KOL) on ABS-CBN Entertainment’s YouTube channel and Facebook page.
