Rising actor and performer Anton Vinzon is officially entering a fresh chapter of his career. Fresh off his grueling yet rewarding run in the hit series Kamao, Vinzon met with the press during the media conference for the upcoming GEN Z Heartthrobs concert—where he will share the stage with Michael Sager and Kelvin Miranda at The New Frontier Theater on January 15, 2027.
Reflecting on ‘Kamao’ and Moving Past Comparisons
Wrapping up Kamao brought a mix of emotions for the young star. While sad to leave behind the cast and directors he grew close to, Vinzon expressed gratitude for the growth the show demanded of him.
“Para sa ‘kin, nakakalungkot pero masaya dahil ang dami kong na-experience—yung pagod, yung sacrifice na ginagawa ko for the show,” Vinzon shared. “Talagang dugo’t pawis nilagay ko for the show, kasi grabe yung pressure sa ‘kin, maraming expectation.”
His work ethic was strong enough that he pushed through filming even while running a fever, driven by a desire to keep the crew working and supported. That dedication did not go unnoticed. His father—veteran action star Roi Vinzon—gave him a direct vote of confidence after the shoot: “Nak, paano ba ‘yan, kaya mo nang magdala ng isang show and I’m proud of you.”
Being the son of an industry veteran naturally invites comparisons, but Vinzon is clear that he has forged his own path.
“Tapos na ako doon. May different kaming genre ni Papa and ako naman may sariling show, kaya hindi kami nag-co-compare,” he explained. “Si Papa talagang nakakahanga dahil ang tagal niya sa industriya. Yung kino-compare ko lang, ‘Pa, alam kong sikat ka, pero paano ka tumagal?’ Iyon yung lagi kong sinasabi kay Papa—sana tumagal pa ako sa industriya.”
A Long-Awaited Concert Milestone
Stepping away from action-heavy television to perform on a live concert stage fulfills a childhood aspiration. He credited his agency, Cornerstone Entertainment, for opening the door.
“Dream ko rin talaga na magkaroon ng concert at lumabas doon. Dream come true talaga,” he noted.
He also credited his family for teaching him how to sing from an early age. “Yung Papa ko, kasi hindi siya makapaniwala na magkakaroon ako ng ganto. At yung sister ko, talagang since day 1 tinuturuan nila akong kumanta nung bata pa lang ako.”
When asked about stage preparation, Vinzon shared a practical habit learned from fellow artist Carmelle: the grounding effect of prayer. “Natutunan kong mag-pray bago mag-concert… Tinuruan po talaga akong mag-pray at maging confident sa stage.”
He also expressed pride in Carmelle’s achievements, noting that watching her perform abroad and reach her Pinoy Big Brother goals has been inspiring to witness.
Dream Collaborations and Supporting Peers
With network lines blurring, Vinzon has clear goals for future collaborations. On his male dream co-star, he pointed directly to Primetime King Coco Martin.
“Si Coco Martin sa stage kasi malaking step yun para sa ‘kin dahil kumakanta rin si Sir Coco and nag-a-action din siya. So, gusto ko rin matutunan yung craft niya as an actor at saka yung paano siya nakikipagsalamuha sa mga tao.”
Vinzon also took a moment to root for his friend and former housemate Raheel, who initially struggled with doubts before entering the Pinoy Big Brother house. Vinzon recalled telling him to grab the moment: “Pare, chance mo na ‘to. Take it dahil opportunity ito… Just be yourself.” Watching Raheel succeed inside the house, Vinzon added, has been rewarding to see.
And for anyone curious about his clear skin during the press conference, Vinzon kept his routine brief: “Para sa ‘kin, sabon tapos tubig. Yun lang.”
