Julie Anne San Jose talks about singing in Enchan for 'Sang'gre' theme song
Julie Anne San Jose is the voice of the official theme song for "Sang'gre," which came with the challenge of singing in Enchan, the fictional language used in "Encantadia."
In Lhar Santiago's report on "24 Oras," Thursday, Julie Anne was asked by Mikee Quintos if she understood the lyrics of the song.
"I kinda assumed kung ano 'yung mga meaning. 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.
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.

Will Rhian Ramos enter politics? Actress answers
Does Rhian Ramos have plans to enter politics? Rhian guested on Friday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' and opened up about her perspective on politics after witnessing the recent mayoral bid of her boyfriend, Sam Verzosa, who lost in Manila. 'I have to say I was a bit brokenhearted for him kasi 'pag mahal mo 'yung isang tao, you don't want them to be in pain, 'di ba? Ayaw mo silang makita na malungkot or—I was scared na siya 'yung ma-bo-brokenhearted,' she said. Rhian also recounted that Sam cried, which she found understandable given the significant effort and investment he put into the campaign every day. 'He has every right naman kung iiyak siya for himself kasi malaki 'yung tinaya niya, 'di ba? At tsaka every day niyang pinaghirapan 'yon. Pero 'yung iniyak niya sa 'kin, 'yung mga ni-let down niya daw na tao,' she said. When asked if she would consider a career in politics herself after processing Sam's experience, Rhian said, 'Dati sinabi ko ayoko. Nagbago na isip ko. Ayaw na ayaw ko na pala.' 'Ayaw ko talaga. Ang lungkot kasi. I mean, I don't know, siguro just based on what I've seen and what I've experienced, parang I feel like politics is a system that might even work against you pa nga eh. So ayon, depende,' she said. Manila elected Isko Moreno as mayor in the recent election. Meanwhile, Rhian is set to star in 'Sang'gre' as Mitena. She is the twin sister of Cassiopeia, a character played by Solenn Heussaff in the series that aired in 2016. Cassiopeia is the first queen of Lireo. "Sang'gre" is a spinoff of the iconic Kapuso fantaserye "Encantadia." It will introduce the newest keepers of the brilyantes: Flamarra (Faith Da Silva), Deia (Angel Guardian), Adamus (Kelvin Miranda), and Terra (Bianca Umali). Aside from Rhian, "Sang'gre" will feature a new set of characters which include Ysabel Ortega as Armea, the late Ricky Davao as Governor Emil, and Sienna Stevens who will take on the role of younger Mitena.

‘Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila' ends with sacrifice, redemption, mystery
'Lolong: Pangil ng Maynila' bid goodbye to its viewers with a gripping and emotional finale that took fans through an intense rollercoaster of sacrifice, redemption, and new beginnings. The final episode showed Donatella (Jean Garcia) ending the life of her own son Ivan (Martin Del Rosario), cementing her descent into madness and leading to her eventual confinement in a mental hospital, where she was last seen clinging to the belief that Ivan was still alive. Meanwhile, Julio (John Arcilla), the story's antagonist-turned-hero made the ultimate sacrifice, giving his life to protect Lolong (Ruru Madrid). As Lolong hovered between life and death, he had a heartfelt, dreamlike encounter with Julio, where the latter asked for forgiveness. Lolong was briefly pronounced dead, leaving his loved ones devastated. But in true heroic fashion, he miraculously returned to life, gripping Elsie's (Shaira Diaz) hand as his eyes glowed a striking green. The show did not end on just heavy emotions. The mood lightened with a joyful celebration for Butchoy and Mimay's birthday party, where Ayana (Rabiya Mateo) surprised everyone by showing up with cake and joining the festivities. However, it seems like the story does not simply end there. In a quiet yet symbolic scene, Lolong and Elsie introduced Butchoy and Mimay to Dakila, the enormous crocodile who has become both protector and friend. Initially frightened, the children quickly warmed up to the creature after learning he only eats fish, not humans. Watching over Baby Julia at home was Lola Grasya (Tessie Tomas), who briefly turned to grab the baby's milk beside her. When she looked back, she was stunned to see Julia's eyes glowing gold, a mysterious and unanswered tease that seemingly tells more has yet to be unveiled. The cast of 'Lolong' tuned in together on the season finale with a viewing party. In Lhar Santiago's report in '24 Oras,' Friday, Ruru said that he was taken over by mixed emotions. 'Siyempre nakakalungkot na hindi na kami araw-araw magkakasama pero masaya at grateful sa kung ano po 'yung nabuo ng samahan ng 'Lolong.' Masaya at grateful dahil lumaban hanggang dulo kaya thank you guys so much. Salamat po sa tiwala na muli pong mabuksan ang mundo po ni Lolong,' he said. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
