With breathtaking scenes shot in Japan, Italy, Palawan, Baguio and Benguet, "Incognito" has drawn rave reviews and earned new audiences awed by how the ABS-CBN series has redefined and elevated Philippine action series. It is also a testament to the grit and brotherhood among the cast.

At a recent media conference, the actors shared how the show challenged them physically, emotionally, and professionally, from battling real snowstorms in Japan to forging a brotherhood among the cast.

"We really wanted an all-white feel," explained Richard Gutierrez, referring to the show's scenes shot in the snowy landscapes of Japan. "We got it and more. We experienced a legit snowstorm. Every day was a test for the whole team."

Filming in sub-zero temperatures, even reaching -6 degrees Celsius, the cast and crew held on despite the brutal weather conditions.

"We just had to adapt and survive," said Richard. "Hinahabol namin yung daylight and wearing waterproof gear was a must. We were there for almost two weeks."

Daniel Padilla, who portrays the compassionate and courageous Andres, laughed as he recalled the challenges of shooting on ice.
