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.

Alden Richards says he's doing better after struggles in 2024: 'I'm above my demons right now'
Alden Richards is now doing better after facing struggles in 2024, which he previously called his "lowest year" where he hit rock bottom. In Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Friday, the Asia's Multimedia Star reported that he is now "above" his demons after the difficulties he had in the past year. "I have never been better. Right now, after recovering from that, actually in our daily lives hindi mo naman talaga sasabihin na naka-recover ka eh. I mean, in situations like that hindi mo masabing, 'Ay okay na 'ko.' Hindi siya ganun," he shared. "Sabi nga ni Ancient One sa 'Doctor Strange' film, you never really lose your demons, you just learn to live above them, and I'm above my demons right now. I know how to manage them." Alden has been preoccupying himself with various activities, such as cycling, running, and working out. According to the actor, he would force himself to do these activities even when he did not feel like getting up from bed. "During my lowest, pinipilit ko siya, even with the days na ayokong bumangon. Pinipilit ko siya until such time na hinahanap na siya ng katawan ko. Right now, I'm more present. I'm more present for myself, so I can be present for other people," he said. The Sparkle star is set to mark his directorial debut in the upcoming film, "Out of Order," which will premiere in the competition section of the Da Nang Film Festival in Vietnam from June 29 to July 5. "Umiyak ako niyan in secret when we got the news. They were very glad to know na ito 'yung very first directorial job ko, so it's a newbie director and they're a fan of that. Gustong-gusto nila 'yung new blood, and hopefully sana kahit papaano manalo tayo ng award," he added. Alden will fly to the United States this weekend in preparation for a Hollywood film. He will also serve as the host of the upcoming reality dance competition "Stars on the Floor," while Marian Rivera, Pokwang, and SB19 choreographer Jay Roncesvalles will serve as the judges. "Stars on the Floor" will premiere on GMA Network on June 28. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Rhian Ramos shares what it feels like to be the first and only choice to play Mitena in 'Sang'gre'
Rhian Ramos is the first and only choice for the role of Mitena, the evil ice queen, in the highly-anticipated "Encantadia" spinoff series "Sang'gre." On Friday's "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Rhian shared that she was shocked when she was given the role by Suzette Doctolero, the creator of "Encantadia" and one of the creative consultants for "Sang'gre." "It feels amazing, I take it as very flattering 'yung pangyayari na 'yun. Na-shock talaga ako. This is after right after I finished 'Royal Blood' and ma'am Suzette Doctolero called me and talked to me about two characters on the same day," she said. According to the Sparkle star, Suzette offered her the role of Mitena in "Sang'gre" and Filipina in "Pulang Araw" on the same day. Suzette also wrote the family drama series, which was directed by Dominic Zapata. "I was so overwhelmed, hindi ako makapaniwala that this was going to be my year, na I would do two really, kasi ano eh, dinescribe niya 'yung mga kwento nila and I said these are going to be super memorable roles for me," said Rhian. While the character of Filipina was complex to play, the actress noted that Mitena is more so because of what she went through. "I was so grateful. I'm still grateful and I kind of removed the pressure from my mind while shooting and just focus on the acting. But now, it's starting to crash in again tapos na-realize ko kung gaano ito ka-big deal. I'm nervous, my hands are cold, it's very exciting," she said. Rhian also shared that everyone who worked on "Sang'gre" gave their all to the show. "Ito 'yung naging buhay namin for two years kasi alam namin kung gaano 'to ka importante, kasi marami nang nagmamahal sa 'Encantadia.' 'Encantadia's' bigger than us," she said. "It's not just this show pero may buong legacy na 'yung 'Encantadia' and binigay talaga namin 'yung buong puso namin para hindi kayo ma-disappoint and I believe that you will also feel and like what you're gonna see." Mitena is one of the main antagonists in "Sang'gre." She is the twin sister of Cassiopeia, the first queen of Lireo, who was played by Solenn Heussaff in the 2016 "Encantadia" series. "Sang'gre" will introduce the new keepers of the brilyantes: Flamarra (Faith Da Silva), Deia (Angel Guardian), Adamus (Kelvin Miranda), and Terra (Bianca Umali). "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.

Rhian Ramos reveals getting Botox after filming ‘Sang'gre' as Mitena: ‘Masyado akong nagalit'
Rhian Ramos candidly revealed that she went to get Botox on her face after wrapping up her emotionally taxing role as Mitena, the evil ice queen, in 'Sang'gre.' On Friday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Rhian said that inhabiting Mitena's persona for the project was emotionally challenging. 'It was very challenging for me emotionally para laging ma-reach 'yung level na 'yon of hate, anger, pain, evil, gano'n para umabot ako sa gusto kong pumatay, sumakop, manakit,' she said. Rhian explained that it was 'pretty intense' for her every day. 'First thing na ginawa ko nung natapos 'yun, nagpa-Botox ako agad. Sabi ko masyado akong nagalit, gusto kong hindi gumagalaw ['yung mukha ko], like ayoko nang magalit. Ang intense! Thanks, Dra. Vicki [Belo],' she said. Botox is a cosmetic treatment injected to patients who want to straighten out unwanted wrinkles. After wrapping up taping for the Kapuso series, Rhian desired a period of rest and rejuvenation. 'Parang for the next two months, parang gusto ko na lang magpa-spa, magpaganda, magpa-relax, magpamasahe, magpaayos ng mga kung ano-ano, gusto ko ng magandang skin,' she said. Rhian recalled that they shot the project for two years. 'That's a long time to be angry every day. It takes a toll. And siyempre dahil mahal namin 'yung mga characters namin ang trabaho namin, we're game to do it pero nakaka-wrinkles siya, nakaka-stress siya. Hindi siya nakaka-fresh,' she said. Mitena is one of the main antagonists in 'Sang'gre.' 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).
