Sanya Lopez


The 2016 Sang'gres have officially completed the transformation challenge!

The Encantadia fever sweeps across fans once again as they find another reason to celebrate!

On June 15, Kapuso star Sanya Lopez thrilled netizens with the much-anticipated drop of her Sang'gre Danaya transformation challenge.

The video opened with a powerful reenactment of a scene from the 2016 series, where Danaya was cast out of Encantadia. Wearing a brown slave costume with her hands bound, Sanya poured her heart into the emotional portrayal. But the tone quickly shifted as she let out Danaya's iconic scream and officially kicked off her transformation.

In a moment that left fans buzzing, Sanya also brought back her Hara costume and dubbed one of Danaya's most empowering lines.

The transformation concluded with Sanya confidently embracing her character, showcasing her martial arts prowess in full warrior mode.

"Ito na humabol na ako aking mga apwe! Glaiza De Castro, Kylie Padilla, Gabbi Garcia, I love you kayo talaga!" Sanya wrote in the caption, affectionately tagging her fellow original Sang'gres.

The comment section quickly exploded with excitement, as fans celebrated Sanya's stunning entry into the trending challenge. Her post marked the final addition from the 2016 Sang'gres, following Glaiza De Castro's fiery return as Pirena.

Sanya's video has since garnered over 2.7 million views on TikTok and 300,000 views on Instagram . Support also poured in from co-stars Kylie Padilla, Glaiza De Castro, Gabbi Garcia, Bianca Umali, and more with heart reactions and positive comments.
