'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre': Pirena shields Terra in emotional reunion
After a string of near misses, Pirena (Glaiza de Castro) and Terra (Bianca Umali) finally came face-to-face again, but this time, they are now fully aware of each other's real identities. On Friday's episode of 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre,' Mitena (Rhian Ramos) sent Olgana (Bianca Manalo) on a mission to find Terra, lending her the fire gem to give her an advantage against the powerful Sang'gre. She warned Olgana that betrayal would mean death, but Olgana vowed loyalty. Alongside Veshdita (Shuvee Etrata) and other warriors, Olgana crossed through a portal to the mortal realm, unseen by human eyes. Watching from a distance, Pirena grew alarmed as she recognized they were hunting her long-lost niece. Their presence soon turned deadly, stabbing innocent civilians, including Terra's friend, Dina (Therese Malvar). Realizing something was terribly wrong, Terra donned her Sang'gre garb and confronted the intruders and revealed her ability to see them when no one else could. A fight erupted, confirming to Olgana's group that they had found the Sang'gre they sought. As Terra fought back, Olgana unleashed the fire gem's power against her, but just before it struck, Pirena appeared, shielding Terra from the attack. 'Hindi ganyan ang wastong paggamit ng brilyante. Ako ang iyong kalabanin, 'wag ang aking hadiya,' Pirena declared, marking the long-awaited reunion of aunt and niece. Terra and Pirena had already crossed paths before, but neither knew then that they were aunt and niece or that Terra was the one Pirena had long been searching for. "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 Basina/LA, GMA Integrated News

Shuvee Etrata on being shipped to Ralph De Leon: 'We know naman our boundaries'
Shuvee Etrata is aware that she and Ralph De Leon are being shipped by fans. According to Athena Imperial's report on '24 Oras,' Friday, the two former PBB housemates had a duet performance at a recent event. 'In our culture, love teams are very prevalent. Actually, hindi lang naman ako kay Ralph shinip,' Shuvee said. The Sparkle star acknowledged that she is also being shipped to others, including River Joseph and Will Ashley. 'Ralph and I have been talking a lot about it, so we know naman our boundaries. Of course, he has a love team, so I don't want to disrespect them. But if there's a project po for us, why not?' Shuvee said. Shuvee and Ralph did not become duos inside Bahay ni Kuya, but their chemistry was first noticed by fans when they topped the first Big Intensity Challenge as the highest-ranking Kapuso and Kapamilya housemates. They were also both hailed as the most desirable duo among the Kapuso and Kapamilya housemates, with Ralph as the no. 1 in the overall ranking and Shuvee the no. 2. That led to fans dubbing them as RalphVee, one of the many fan ships formed in the PBB collab. Ralph's other popular PBB ship is with AZ Martinez. — Carby Basina/LA, GMA Integrated News
