All throughout its run, the trending action-drama series has taken us to some of the most visually striking locations, and for its ultimate mission, the battleground hits harder and deeper. It&#x27;s set against the dramatic terrain of Marawi City. The team gears up for their final face-off with Manuel (Joem Bascon)&#x27;s ruthless group in a mission that is personal because of the lives lost along the way and the innocent people caught in the crossfire. Some were loved ones. Others, strangers they failed to save. And now, the Kontraks are going all in.But behind every intense scene and every explosive encounter is a crew working just as hard to bring the episodes to life. From tactical choreography to emotionally charged battle scenes, Team Incognito gave it their all on and off-cam during the Marawi shoot.Launch this gallery and you’ll find the Incognito cast and crew locked, loaded, and all-in for their final mission. Some photos show the Kontraks–Richard Gutierrez, Daniel Padilla, Baron Geisler, Kaila Estrada, Maris Racal and Anthony Jennings–and the Kontraktor himself, Ian Veneracion, dressed in full tactical gear and looking every bit like real-life soldiers inside a war-damaged structure. You can tell from the way they held their rifles and carried their stance that this wasn’t just another day on set.But there&#x27;s also an undeniable camaraderie that’s formed between the actors and the team. Between takes, smiles are shared. In one shot, you’ll spot them covered in fake blood but still flashing those proud smiles with director Lester Pimentel.Another shows Direk Lester holding the slate marked “The Final Mission&quot; alongside his son Lance Pimentel, who played a big role behind the scenes as stunt director and in front of the cameras a one of the bad guys. What made the filming even more powerful was the setting itself. Shot in Marawi, the backdrop grounded the story in real weight. Every broken building added rawness to the scenes and to the actors’ performances. These behind-the-scenes moments serve as proof of the passion poured into <a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/incognito" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Incognito</a>&#x27;s &quot;The Final Mission.&quot; The whole team is determined to finish strong.
