The new year of 2026 brings more gripping, emotional, and creative stories to ABS-CBN’s primetime slate, beginning with the latest Kapamilya action-drama series to be revealed, “Blood vs Duty,” starring Richard Gutierrez, Gerald Anderson, Bela Padilla, Baron Geisler, and Barbie Imperial.
From Richard to Barbie, the cast is perfectly in tune with the action-packed narrative that they will portray, especially since many have hands-on experience in shows with compelling plots that demanded sharp self-dense performances and battles. This includes Richard and Baron in “Incognito,” Gerald and Barbie in “Sins of the Father,” and Baron and Barbie in “FPJ’s Batang Quiapo.”
Though their previous projects also involved thrilling sequences, “Blood vs Duty” will surely deliver its own exciting flavor, evident in Richard’s dedication as he consistently trains with stunt teams for his role.
In an Instagram post, he showcases his disciplined and focused training —boxing, kicking, and duelling with a dummy and instructor—where every strike lands with precision, giving an early glimpse of his intriguing character in the series.
"Blood vs Duty" will be helmed under JRB Creative Production, the creator behind “Ang Sa Iyo Ay Akin,” “Mars Ravelo's Darna,” “Nag-aapoy na Damdamin,” and “Sins of the Father.” JRB Creative Production is led by Ms. Julie Anne R. Benitez and Creative Head Mr. Dindo Perez.
Get ready to witness the results of Richard’s sharpened action prowess when “Blood vs Duty” premieres soon!
