"Avisala Eshma, Encantadia. The kingdom is forever etched in my heart. Gargan… but not gone forever." - Tom Rodriguez

Nagpapasalamat si Tom Rodriguez sa pagkakataong naging bahagi ng superserye na Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre.

Noong Sabado (May 23), ipinarating ni Tom sa isang social media post kung paanong naging tribute na rin niya para sa ama ang pagkakapasok sa mundo ng Encantadia.

"To be part of a world that has meant so much to so many people since the original 2005 Encantadia, and again through the 2016 reboot, is already an honor," sulat ni Tom.

"But for me, Encantadia was personal. In 2017, it was the show my dad watched every single day during his final days, with us right there beside him. So getting to step into this universe for Sang'gre Book 2 felt like a quiet tribute to him," dagdag niya.

Binalikan din ni Tom ang passion na ibinigay ng cast at crew para sa serye. Gayundin, ibinahagi niya ang pagka-miss sa role bilang Gargan.

"I walked into a project where the team had already been grinding for years, and honestly, I didn't know what to expect. What I found was a group of people who kept showing up with dedication, patience, grit, and joy, even on the hardest days. There was real blood, sweat, heat, paint, armor, retouches, and a lot of laughter poured into Gargan. (Man, I really miss my hot, heavy costume/armor and my HEAAAAAVVVYYY staff!!!).

"Thank you to GMA for the opportunity, to our director, writers, coaches, and my incredible co-stars. And to the many unsung heroes behind the camera, especially the makeup team, crew, and Mersinaryo (armorers), thank you for the endless fittings, airbrush paint, armor fixes, and retouches under the sun. You made the intense work feel like play.

"Avisala Eshma, Encantadia. The kingdom is forever etched in my heart. Gargan… but not gone forever."
