‘Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre’: Pirena and Terra finally cross paths

Pirena (Glaiza De Castro) and Terra (Bianca Umali) have finally crossed paths.

Thursday’s episode of “Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre” showed the very first face-to-face encounter of the two, which unfolded in the middle of a chaotic scene at the local wet market, where Terra had been helping her Nanay Mona (Manilyn Reynes) sell fish. 

When a heated argument broke out between a vendor and a customer, Terra had to spring into action, disappearing briefly, only to return in her superhero guise as the mysterious “Sang’gre.”

Intent on de-escalating the situation, Terra offered to talk things out, but the angry man, Victor, chose violence over dialogue.

The fight was brief. Terra easily bested him, showing off the strength and skill that set her apart from any ordinary mortal.

Nearby, Pirena, who has been tirelessly searching the human world for her long-lost niece, caught wind of the commotion and followed the crowd.

That’s when it happened: the two finally laid eyes on each other for the first time, but neither knew who the other truly was.

Pirena, stunned by the young woman’s display of power, stepped forward and asked simply, “Sino ka?”

Before Terra could respond, the authorities arrived at the scene.

Not wanting to risk exposure, Terra fled, leaving Pirena with nothing but questions and a growing suspicion that the girl she just saw might not be just any other hero.

"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.
