Bianca Umali joins panel to advocate breast cancer awareness and prevention: 'A mission for my mom'
According to Aubrey Carampel's report on "24 Oras," Tuesday, Bianca talked about the importance of early screening and detection, which can make a crucial difference in saving lives.
"Because I lost my mom to breast cancer when I was five. Mahalaga sa akin to spread awareness of what self-care and what women's health really means, especially to the younger generation because I wouldn't want any other little girl to go through what I went through," she said.
Bianca said that her advocacy for breast cancer is not something she does just for herself.
"This is a mission for my mom, at para na rin sa kabataan at sa mga babae na maaaring matulungan ko through the story that I have," she said.
Bianca was orphaned at an early age. On top of losing her mother at age five, Bianca also lost her dad due to a heart attack when she was 10. She was raised by her grandmother, Mama Vicky.
Bianca currently stars in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre," which airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it online via the Kapuso Stream on YouTube. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

The segment will be aired on Wednesday, June 20. News of the Almuserye comes at the heels of Shuvee and Anthony's first project together, Jenzen Guino's 'Marupok' music video which will be released on August 22 at 8:00 p.m. Shuvee was among the 20 housemates of 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition.' She and her fellow housemates recently reunited for 'The Big ColLove' concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Meanwhile, Shuvee currently appears in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" as Veshdita, a Mine-a-ve warrior. She is also set to star in with Dingdong Dantes and fellow former PBB housemate Charlie Fleming in upcoming series "Master Cutter." — Jade Veronique Yap/LA, GMA Integrated News

Shuvee Etrata on starring with Dingdong Dantes in 'Master Cutter': 'Hindi ko po sukat akalain'
Shuvee Etrata is set to appear in the upcoming Kapuso series "Master Cutter" alongside Dingdong Dantes. In an interview with GMA News Online during the show's story conference on Tuesday, the Sparkle star shared that she is still over the moon about landing a role alongside the Kapuso Primetime King. "Hindi ko po sukat na akalain kasi nga po sabi ko, of course I wanna hone my skills into acting. I know there's like busy schedules now with brands, endorsements," Shuvee said. "Pero with acting kasi it's part of me na gusto ko patunayan na lang 'yung sarili ko na kaya ko. So sabi ko sa management, I'm willing to do anything kahit na anong ibigay nila sa akin. Kasi alam ko hindi nila ako bibigyan ng something na hindi ko kaya," she added. Shuvee shared that when she first learned she would be part of "Master Cutter," she expected only a minor role. To her surprise, she was cast as one of the lead characters, which she considers a "privilege" and an "honor." "As long as I'm with Kuya Dong, it's already a privilege, it's already an honor. Rest assured, of course, now that they've given me this chance, I'm gonna do my best to help and improve and actually make the most out of it," she said. In "Master Cutter," Shuvee will play the role of Tonet Mendoza, who applies as a shoe keeper for Anthony (Dingdong). She harbors a secret crush on Anthony, who will soon grow fond of her. Directed by Dominic Zapata, "Master Cutter" is an action series that follows the story of Anthony, a former scout ranger turned lowkey-tailor who secretly lives a double life as an elite hunter or man tracker. Other cast include Max Collins as Anthony's love interest, Sienna Stevens, Charlie Fleming, Jo Berry and Paolo Contis, among others. Shuvee was among the 20 housemates of "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." She and her fellow housemates recently reunited for "The Big ColLove" concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. She currently appears in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" as Veshdita, a Mine-a-ve warrior. —MGP, GMA Integrated News
