Ysabel Ortega admits she felt challenged by Enchan, fight scenes in 'Sang'gre'
Ysabel Ortega admitted she felt challenged learning Enchan, the fictional language in Encantadia, as well as the fight scenes she had to do in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre."
In Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Monday, the Sparkle star shared that there were times she would forget the nuances of language when they were shooting scenes for the series.
"Sobrang complex pala ng mundo [ng Encantadia], it's literally an alternate universe to the point na first day ko, as in, may mga times na I still forget 'yung mga nuances. May isa akong eksena nasabi ko, 'Tulungan mo ko, please' so syempre nag-cut kami. Sabi nila, 'Ysabel walang please sa Encantadia ha,'" she said.
Ysabel also talked about her challenging yet rewarding role as Armea, which required fight scenes.
"More on refresher na lang sa sword fighting, kasi sword po 'yung weapon ko dito sa 'Sang'gre,' so of course training din for the scenes that we have," she said.
"Nag-t-training talaga kami a day before shooting para talagang ma-master na 'yung mga fight scenes na gagawin namin for the show," she added.
Ysabel stars as Armea, the daughter of King Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid) and Queen Alena (Gabbi Garcia) of Sapiro. On last Wednesday's episode, Armea was officially crowned queen of the kingdom following the death of Ybrahim.
"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.

Vice Ganda visits 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition' housemates
Vice Ganda visited the "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" housemates! Monday's episode showed the Unkabogable Star entering Bahay ni Kuya and asking for some water. Upon entering, the housemates couldn't contain their excitement, screaming and gushing over the unexpected visitor. After taking a sip of water, the comedienne joined the housemates in the living room and shared a heartfelt pep talk with them. Vice asked the housemates, "Kung sikat na sikat na kayo, papasok pa kayo sa Bahay ni Kuya?" Will Ashley responded by saying, "Siguro sa mga natutunan ko dito, baka. Kasi hindi ko po talaga nakikita ang sarili ko na makapasok dito." "Parang noong time na 'yon naisip ko na for experience. Experience out of my comfort zone," he added. For Esnyr, even if he becomes like Vice or Piolo Pascual, he'd still join PBB because he grew up watching the show. "Feeling ko papasok pa rin ako kasi ito 'yung kinalakihan ko. Nanonood po ako dati nito sa probinsya. At gusto ko talagang ma-test ang sarili ko kung hanggang ano 'yung kaya ko. Kung hanggang saan ako," Esnyr said. Upon hearing the housemates' answers, Vice left some encouraging words for them to ponder. "Sa inyo namang lahat walang imposible. All of you are limitless. All of you," she said. Pointing to Esnyr, Vice added. "You are limitless. Don't let anyone tell you or dictate to you to be the next Vice Ganda. You can never be the next Vice Ganda because you can create your own path, and you will. I'm looking forward to seeing that. I'll be on the side, rooting and applauding for you." After a brief moment with them, Vice bid goodbye to the housemates and even snapped for a group photo. "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition" airs on GMA Network Monday to Saturday at 9:35 p.m. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Mitena captures Danaya, Armea; steals Brilyante ng Lupa
Mitena (Rhian Ramos) has been collecting queens like Thanos collects Infinity Stones. Monday's episode of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" showed Mitena capturing former queen of Lireo Danaya (Sanya Lopez) and current queen of Sapiro Armea (Ysabel Ortega). Armea was the first to confront Mitena to seek revenge for her mother, Alena (Gabbi Garcia), who was previously captured by the Ice Queen. Mitena used her scepter to torture Armea and trapped her inside a crystal, like she did with Alena. Later, Pirena (Glaiza De Castro) fought many Mine-a-ve soldiers to engage Mitena in battle. Pirena and Mitena clashed in a fierce showdown, wielding the powers of the Brilyante ng Apoy and the Brilyante ng Tubig—the latter of which Mitena had stolen earlier. While Pirena was on the brink of defeat, Danaya arrived just in time to help her sister in the battle against Mitena, wielding the power of the Brilyante ng Lupa. Using her powers and scepter, Mitena attempted to absorb Danaya and Pirena's gems. When they realized what happened, Pirena cast the "Ivictus" spell and vanished from the battlefield. Danaya failed to disengage like Pirena and Mitena succeeded in seizing the Brilyante ng Lupa. She was later trapped inside a crystal, just as Mitena had done with Armea and Alena. Inside the crystal, Danaya prayed to Emre for Terra's safety and protection in the mortal world, choosing to conceal her child's true identity and powers until she comes of age. Meanwhile, another major character died in the episode: Azulan, Pirena's husband and Flamarra's father. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs weeknights on GMA Network at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras." You can also watch it on YouTube via the Kapuso Stream. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
