Anthony Buencamino, known professionally as Nonie Buencamino (born November 28, 1966), is a Filipino character actor known for his television and theater work. He is strongly associated with Philippine New Wave Cinema, playing roles such as Mayor Bartolome in Jun Lana's Barber's Tales and Felipe Buencamino in Jerrold Tarog's Heneral Luna.

In 2026, Buencamino joining the cast of GMA’s Hari ng Tondo marks another major on-screen reunion with Primetime Action Hero Ruru Madrid, following their prominent roles in the hit action-adventure series Lolong: Bayani ng Bayan.

Early life and education

Buencamino joined Tanghalang Ateneo as a college student and decades later fondly remembered his start with the company.[1]

Career

He portrayed the real-life historical figure Felipe Buencamino (a distant ancestor) in Jerrold Tarog’s critically acclaimed film Heneral Luna (2015) and its sequel Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral (2018). He won a Young Critics Circle Best Performance award for the indie marriage drama Dagitab (2014) and earned massive audience praise for his role as Francisco in the Metro Manila Film Festival hit Family Matters (2022).

Personal life

He is a grandnephew of seminal Kundiman composer Francisco Beltran Buencamino Sr. and the brother of composer Nonong Buencamino.[2][3] He is a descendant of Felipe Buencamino.[4] He married actress Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino, and the couple had four children, including actresses Delphine and the late Julia Buencamino.[1][5]
