MANILA - Young actor Gerald Anderson does not mind being dubbed as the industry's "primetime action prince."

The “Tayong Dalawa" star said it “feels good” to be given that title because it only means that people appreciate his hard work and dedication.

"Hindi naman ito binigay sa akin, siyempre pinaghirapan ko din ito para umabot sa ganitong kalagayan,” he said.

Anderson is set to embark on a new action role in the first installment of "Agimat: Mga Alamat ni Ramon Revilla” on ABS-CBN. 

He plays the lead role Santiago Ronquillo, or Tiagong Akyat, who grew up to be the protector of the community.

Some of the cast members of "Tiagong Akyat" are Jason Abalos, Ryan Eigenmann, Jayson Gainza, Danilo Barrios, Joseph Bitangcol, Carlo Guevara, Arron Villaflor, Nova Villa, and Daniel Fernando. Erich Gonzalez is Anderson’s newest on-screen partner.

"Tiagong Akyat" will be shown on August 15 on ABS-CBN.
