Bianca Umali, Faith Da Silva aim to excellently deliver ‘Sang'gre' as gift to ‘Encantadia' fans

Bianca Umali and Faith Da Silva expressed their deep commitment to delivering excellent performances in 'Sang'gre,' which is a heartfelt gift to the fans of 'Encantadia.'
In Aubrey Carampel's report on '24 Oras' Friday, Bianca expressed gratitude for the positive feedback they have received from fans.
'Nakakatunaw ng puso eh 'yung makita namin 'yung feedback. Ang saya kasi hindi mo alam kung anong ie-expect mo eh kasi siyemore dahil ang tagal nang nagihihintay nung mga tao at nakaabang 'yung Encantadiks,' she said.
Bianca described the experience as encompassing 'a whole lot of experiences and emotions and 'yung mentality na dinedicate ko sa show na 'to.'
She has spent two years working on the project.
'Sana po ay magustuhan ninyo ang bagong henerasyon, kasama ng lumang henerasyon, ang 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre.' Muli, hindi po biro. Talagang ito po is not just a project for me anymore. This project is a gift to me, and also, hopefully, it is a gift that you will all love in return,' she said.
Faith, who portrays the character Flamarra, described her role as potentially braver.
'Kasi nanggaling ako sa kampo ng mga Punjabwe at Hathoria. So 'yung pagsamahin mo 'yung dalawang kampo na 'yon, ibig sabihin mas matigas talaga ang ulo pero may puso. May puso pa rin,' she said.
Faith said that their main goal for the series is 'Maipakita namin siya nang excellent.'
'At nang makita namin 'yung mga tao na 'yung pagtanggap talaga nila eh. Tsaka kung gaano nila ka-miss siguro 'yung 'Encantadia,'' she said.
On Friday, GMA released separate teaser videos for Bianca's and Faith's characters, Terra and Flamarra. The teasers gave a closer look into their characters and allowed viewers to witness their fighting skills.
Bianca and Faith are joined by Kelvin Miranda and Angel Guardian as the new generation of Sang'gres.
Bianca will play the role of Terra, the new keeper of the Brilyante ng Lupa; Faith's Flamarra is the keeper of the Brilyante ng Apoy; Angel will portray the role of Deia, the keeper of the Brilyante ng Hangin; and Kelvin will be the first male Sang'gre as Adamus, the keeper of the Brilyante ng Tubig.

‘Superman' cast grateful for warmth, support given by Filipino fans

The cast and crew of the new 'Superman' film have expressed their profound joy and gratitude following their visit to the Philippines, which was the first stop of their world tour. In Nelson Canlas' report in '24 Oras' Friday, David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan talked about the love they felt from the Filipino fans. 'To show up and have people dressed as Superman and dressed as Hawkgirl and Mr. Terrific, and there were definitely some Lois Lanes out there, it's really just we get to come and celebrate this amazing legacy of these characters in this world and get excited for the new chapter that we're bringing,' David said. 'You know, we're the new kids on the block, and to feel that warmth and that kind of support as we're kicking off this tour was really, really special. So we're very grateful to have started here in the Philippines,' Rachel said. David will star as Superman and Clark Kent in the film, while Rachel will play the role of Lois Lane. Director James Gunn also explained his motivation for the approach of the movie, particularly in the current global climate. 'I think that we've gotten in the world—the world seems kind of mean lately. I think that I really just want to remind people and myself about the values of basic human kindness,' he said. On social media Friday, the "Superman" film shared photos of the stars alongside James and co-producer Peter Safran posing with a Superman-themed jeepney. 'Superman' opens in cinemas and IMAX on July 9. It establishes the iconic hero in the new DC Studios cinematic universe headed by Gunn and Peter Safran. According to Gunn, "Superman" has become more than a movie for him. "It's a story about humanity, about what it means to be a hero in a world that doesn't always make it easy to be one.' The film also stars Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Skyler Gisondo, Sara Sampaio, María Gabriela de Faría, Wendell Pierce, Alan Tudyk, Pruitt Taylor Vince, and Neva Howell. —Carby Rose Basina/CDC, GMA Integrated News
