This is already evident in Gutierrez’s commitment to his role. In a recent Instagram post, the actor shared glimpses of his rigorous preparation, showing himself boxing, kicking, and engaging in combat drills with a dummy and instructor.
The training reflects the discipline and focus required for the character he is set to portray.
The early look at Gutierrez’s preparation has sparked anticipation among fans, offering a preview of the intensity viewers can expect once the series airs. As ABS-CBN continues to expand its primetime slate, “Blood vs Duty” is positioned as one of its most awaited releases.
Viewers can expect a blend of action, emotion, and compelling storytelling when “Blood vs Duty” premieres soon, marking another bold addition to the network’s 2026 lineup.
Richard Gutierrez, whose full name is Richard Kristian Rama Gutiérrez, is a Filipino actor and model. He comes from a prominent showbiz family as the son of veteran stars Eddie Gutierrez and Annabelle Rama and is the brother of Ruffa Gutierrez.

Richard went on to thank viewers for their support, sharing his appreciation for everyone who tuned in to the show. He noted that the strong response from audiences helped propel “Incognito” to the number one spot on Netflix, making the achievement even more special for him.
