Jillian Ward, Raheel Bhyria report they have gotten closer on and off cam
In Lhar Santiago's report in "24 Oras" Friday, Jillian shared that she now understands and trusts Raheel more.
"Kahit hindi siya naniniwala, mas may trust ako sa kaniya ngayon and parang mas open na rin po ako sa kaniya compared nung [Abot-Kamay na Pangarap] days namin," she said.
Raheel also said that he's thankful Jillian joined the show because he was able to tell her things he could not in the past.
"Nagpapasalamat ako nandito siya dahil marami rin akong naisabi na hindi ko maisabi rin before at mas naintindihan niya raw ako," he said without revealing what exactly he was able to tell Jillian this time around.
Raheel also expressied his gratitude to fans who have been shipping their characters, Sig and Lady.
"Nakakatuwa po lagi po akong kinikilig pag nakikita ko 'yung edits namin mag-isa, nanunood ako, kinikilig ako," he said.
Jillian agreed, saying she would also scroll on social media and watch fan edits of their characters.
The Sparkle stars added that they are happy whenever their taping schedules for the show coincide.
"Walang halong biro, 'pag nakikita ko na may taping, mas na-l-look forward ko kasi nandun si Jill kasi na-i-inspire ako lalo magtrabaho 'pag nakikita ko na kasama siya," said Raheel.
"Ako natutuwa po ako. Nasabi ko na rin naman sa kaniya 'to na pagka nagtataping ako, wala, parang dahil nandiyan siya, kumportable ako kasi siya talaga 'yung pinaka close ko po since [Abot-Kamay na Pangarap] din," said Jillian.
"Mga Batang Riles" also stars Miguel Tanfelix, Kokoy De Santos, Bruce Roeland, and Anton Vinzon.

‘Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre': Pirena and Terra finally cross paths
Pirena (Glaiza De Castro) and Terra (Bianca Umali) have finally crossed paths. Thursday's episode of 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' showed the very first face-to-face encounter of the two, which unfolded in the middle of a chaotic scene at the local wet market, where Terra had been helping her Nanay Mona (Manilyn Reynes) sell fish. When a heated argument broke out between a vendor and a customer, Terra had to spring into action, disappearing briefly, only to return in her superhero guise as the mysterious 'Sang'gre.' Intent on de-escalating the situation, Terra offered to talk things out, but the angry man, Victor, chose violence over dialogue. The fight was brief. Terra easily bested him, showing off the strength and skill that set her apart from any ordinary mortal. Nearby, Pirena, who has been tirelessly searching the human world for her long-lost niece, caught wind of the commotion and followed the crowd. That's when it happened: the two finally laid eyes on each other for the first time, but neither knew who the other truly was. Pirena, stunned by the young woman's display of power, stepped forward and asked simply, 'Sino ka?' Before Terra could respond, the authorities arrived at the scene. Not wanting to risk exposure, Terra fled, leaving Pirena with nothing but questions and a growing suspicion that the girl she just saw might not be just any other hero. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" 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/CDC, GMA Integrated News
