Born Juan Carlos Cuenca on December 30, 1987 in San Jose, California, he started his career as a commercial and print model. His numerous endorsements include Coke and Globe Telecom. With the guidance of formidable talent managers Douglas Quijano and Neil de Guia, Jake started on his television career with the hit youth program Click.
