Heart Evangelista touched after housemates send her off with fashion show
Heart Evangelista left the "Pinoy Big Brother" house with a grateful heart after the male housemates staged a fashion show to end her guesting. On Thursday's episode, Kuya asked River Joseph about what he was willing to do to grant Heart's request for ice cream. River said he was willing to do anything, so Kuya asked him to cooperate with his fellow boys to do something special for Heart's exit. The Kapamilya actor then gathered the boys in their room to make a plan as the girls entertained Heart in the garden. They decided to hold a fashion show and write letters of appreciation for the Global Fashion Icon. When Heart and the girls returned to the living room, the boys began the show, coming out of their room one by one and walking down the "runway." Heart and the girls clapped and cheered for them and the outfits they put together: scarves on their necks, shawls around their heads, and their best jackets. River, who confessed to Kuya that he had a crush on Heart during his childhood, took out flowers from his inside his jacket and handed it to the Kapuso star. After the successful task, Kuya gave their reward as promised: ice cream, which they enjoyed together before Heart left the house. "They told me that I made them happy. I just wanna say that they made me happy so much. Because sometimes when you're very busy, you get lonely and you need a pause and they were just such a breath of fresh air," she told Kuya. Heart got emotional and said she had a wonderful time inside the PBB house. "Siguro dahil busy din ako, dahil busy din siguro 'yung mga ibang mahal ko sa buhay, minsan nalulungkot din po ako sa bahay and today was my free day and when they told me to come and I had to work, I did what I did to work but it felt like a free day and I felt like I had friends. A lot of friends," she said. After Heart's exit, Barbie Forteza was the next to enter the PBB house as a guest. "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs new episodes on GMA Network weeknights at 10:05 p.m. and Saturdays at 6:15 p.m. —MGP, GMA Integrated News

Bianca Umali, fellow Sang'gres on crafting their brilyante moves: 'We wanted to put a different flavor to it'
The new generation of Sang'gres, Bianca Umali, Kelvin Miranda, Faith Da Silva, and Angel Guardian, thoughtfully crafted and personalized the way they release their brilyantes onscreen. According to Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Thursday, the lead cast made sure to pay attention to even the smallest details in portraying their roles, including their brilyante moves. "We wanted to at least put a different flavor to it on our way. So inisip namin, gawa tayo ng kasa natin, kumbaga. Kung sa baril may kasa, kami may kasa sa brilyante. So depende sa element," Bianca said. Bianca's move starts with her fist placed on her chest because "si Terra, laging galing sa puso 'yung story niya," while Kelvin's water-based summon features smooth, wave-like hand gestures. Faith, representing fire, uses sharper, more intense movements, reflecting the nature of flames, while Angel, as the air-wielding Sang'gre, incorporates a big, circular motion into her summon, capturing the graceful and expansive nature of wind. "Sang'gre" is the spinoff of the hit Kapuso series "Encantadia." The series will also feature a new set of characters including Rhian Ramos as Mitena, the late Ricky Davao as Governor Emil, Ysabel Ortega as Armea, and Sienna Stevens as the younger counterpart of Rhian. "Sang'gre" will premiere on GMA Prime on June 16. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Kasi, ewan ko, nag-depend lang din ako siguro sa dun sa mga stances na Tagalog, so parang the gist of it," she said. "Sang'gre" is the spinoff of the hit Kapuso series "Encantadia." It is top-billed by Bianca Umali, Kelvin Miranda, Faith Da Silva, and Angel Guardian as the new keepers of the gems of fire, water, air, and earth.
