Bianca Umali, fellow stars reflect ahead of 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' finale: 'Hindi ito pamamaalam'

Bianca Umali, Angel Guardian, Faith Da Silva, and Kelvin Miranda shared mixed emotions as "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" nears its final week.

At Thursday's media conference, Bianca said the cast is still processing the end of the show.

"Hindi siya mapi-pinpoint into just one emotion, sa totoo lang. I guess simula pa lang noong na-realize namin na patapos na talaga 'to, sa last taping day namin, wala sa aming makapagsabi kung ano ba talagang nararamdaman namin," she said.

The Kapuso Prime Gem described the experience as both fulfilling and bittersweet, citing the strong bond formed on set.

"Masaya kami because it was such a successful run and it was a magical adventure for all of us. But at the same time, it saddens us na mawawala na 'yung weekly naming halos tatlong taon na almost every day kaming magkakasama," she said.

Despite the looming finale, Bianca said that the end of the series does not necessarily mean goodbye to the world of Encantadia.

"Overall, to be part of the world of Encantadia is already a blessing in its own form. And I don't think we want to say goodbye. Hindi natin alam, malay natin pagkatapos nitong dekada eh magbubukas ulit ang mundo ng Encantadia. Sana'y parte pa rin kami nito, nandito pa rin si Adamus, si Flamarra, si Terra, si Deia, at, of course, si Mitena. Hindi ito pamamaalam. It's more of 'Hanggang sa muli.'"

Angel echoed the emotional weight of the moment, sharing how wearing her costume again during the event stirred nostalgia.

"Medyo nagiging emotional kami kanina noong pinapanood namin 'yung teaser kasi—actually, today, hindi kami nag-expect na isusuot ulit 'tong costume. And ngayon ko lang din talaga naramdaman na na-miss ko talaga…Nakakatuwa na nasuot ko ulit 'tong costume," she said.

She also hinted at an unconventional finale, urging viewers to stay tuned.

"'Yung final scenes namin ay kakaiba. Kakaiba sa usual naming ginagawa kaya dapat ninyong abangan. Noong ginagawa namin, feeling ko lahat kami internally nagre-reminisce…Ando'n 'yung saya pero may kaunting lungkot na rin dahil alam mo na 'yun na 'yung huli," Angel said.

Meanwhile, Faith, in a video message, looked back on one of her favorite moments in the series.

"Isa sa aking paborito ay 'yung unang-unang pagkikita naming apat na Sang'gre, 'yung unang pagkakilala ko sa kanila, at 'yung pagbuo namin ng masayang samahan—hindi lang sa aming apat kundi sa buong staff and crew at sa lahat ng mga cast ng 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre.' Kaya po ako ay nagbibigay ng pagbati sa ating lahat. Congratulations para sa atin," she said.

Kelvin, on the other hand, kept things cryptic but intriguing as he teased a standout character moment in the finale.

"Maangas talaga. Kasi kapag nakita nila, sasabihin nila 'yon, 'yun din 'yung sasabihin nila. Maangas," he said.

"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. —MGP, GMA News
