Sporting career
Cuenca is a sports enthusiast, even during his younger days. Due to a weight problem he encountered as a child, he was determined to play sports more when he grew up. Although he has done boxing and mixed martial arts, he is mainly a football player, playing twice a week.[29] As an elementary and high school student, Cuenca played as a football varsity player for PAREF Southridge School.
In October 2011, he signed up for Team Socceroo F.C., which at that time played as a guest club in the 2011–12 United Football Cup, and later entered in the United Football League Division 2. He is yet to play for the first team as showbiz commitments have not permitted him to do so.[30]
Cuenca has also shown interest to try out for the Philippines in international competitions.[31]
