'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' cast called by destiny to carry show's legacy, says GMA exec
For Cheryl Ching-Sy, Officer-in-Charge of GMA Entertainment Group, the cast of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" was destined to be part of the beloved fantasy franchise.
In Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Wednesday, the Kapuso executive said the stars went through the most challenging selection process before finally making it to the official cast.
"Hindi siya normal na casting call. Tawag siya ng destiny kasi hindi lang naman namin pinili 'yung pinakamaganda o pinakamagaling, ang hinahanap namin ay 'yung mga artista na kayang i-continue 'yung legacy at kayang mangalaga ng brilyante sa loob man ng serye o sa labas," she said.
Director Enzo Williams commended the cast for the effort they put in for the project.
"Actually bilib ako sa kanila, to be honest. Bilib ako sa preparations nila on every shooting day na they go to the set," he said.
Overall visual director Rico Gutierrez shared that their goal is to deliver an entertaining project for the audience.
"Ang tahak namin talaga [ay] mabigyan talaga 'yung audience ng isang entertaining na show. Matuwa sila, ma-excite sila sa action, ma-amaze 'yung mga bata sa mga special effects. 'Yun talaga 'yung goal namin," he said.
"Sang'gre" is a spinoff of the iconic Kapuso fantaserye "Encantadia."
It will introduce the newest keepers of the brilyantes: Flamarra (Faith Da Silva), Deia (Angel Guardian), Adamus (Kelvin Miranda), and Terra (Bianca Umali).
"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. —Carby Rose Basina/MGP, GMA Integrated News

‘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

Shuvee Etrata acknowledged that she felt betrayed by AZ Martinez after the latter nominated her for eviction in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition," but she believes that her heart is big enough to forgive her. In Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Friday, the Sparkle star shared that she and AZ found their way back to each other when she returned to "PBB" as a duo challenger. "I-acknowledge ko lang din naman po, I felt betrayed nung time po na 'yun but malaki naman po 'yung heart ko to forgive her and we found our way back to each other naman," she said. "Parang nung bumalik po ako, naging emotional po ako kasi even if it's hard for me na nangyari po sa amin iyon, na we had to part ways like that, nandun pa rin po 'yung hope to form the bond again, to be okay again. Hinihintay ko lang po siya sa labas para po mas mapag-usapan namin." She also had a short but impactful message to her fans: "Spread love, not hate." During the interview, Shuvee also shared that she still feels guilty that she and Klarisse De Guzman got evicted. "I felt so bad kasi we were nominated because of me so parang 'yung guilt na 'yun until now, dala-dala ko siya, bubog ko siya," she said. She added that she could not believe all the love and support she received from fans when she exited Bahay ni Kuya, noting that she is still overwhelmed until now. Shuvee and Klarisse De Guzman were the latest duo to be evicted from "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." This week, Shuvee and Klang along with the other evicted "PBB" housemates returned to the house as duo challengers. Shuvee and Klang's return finally gave all of them closure, with the housemates turning emotional after getting the chance to speak to the two again. AZ got to apologize to Shuvee and Klang and share a hug with them. She also told Shuvee that she would make it up to her.
