Rhian Ramos reveals getting Botox after filming ‘Sang'gre' as Mitena: ‘Masyado akong nagalit'

Rhian Ramos candidly revealed that she went to get Botox on her face after wrapping up her emotionally taxing role as Mitena, the evil ice queen, in 'Sang'gre.'
On Friday's 'Fast Talk with Boy Abunda,' Rhian said that inhabiting Mitena's persona for the project was emotionally challenging.
'It was very challenging for me emotionally para laging ma-reach 'yung level na 'yon of hate, anger, pain, evil, gano'n para umabot ako sa gusto kong pumatay, sumakop, manakit,' she said.
Rhian explained that it was 'pretty intense' for her every day.
'First thing na ginawa ko nung natapos 'yun, nagpa-Botox ako agad. Sabi ko masyado akong nagalit, gusto kong hindi gumagalaw ['yung mukha ko], like ayoko nang magalit. Ang intense! Thanks, Dra. Vicki [Belo],' she said.
Botox is a cosmetic treatment injected to patients who want to straighten out unwanted wrinkles.
After wrapping up taping for the Kapuso series, Rhian desired a period of rest and rejuvenation.
'Parang for the next two months, parang gusto ko na lang magpa-spa, magpaganda, magpa-relax, magpamasahe, magpaayos ng mga kung ano-ano, gusto ko ng magandang skin,' she said.
Rhian recalled that they shot the project for two years.
'That's a long time to be angry every day. It takes a toll. And siyempre dahil mahal namin 'yung mga characters namin ang trabaho namin, we're game to do it pero nakaka-wrinkles siya, nakaka-stress siya. Hindi siya nakaka-fresh,' she said.
Mitena is one of the main antagonists in 'Sang'gre.'
She is the twin sister of Cassiopeia, a character played by Solenn Heussaff in the series that aired in 2016. Cassiopeia is the first queen of Lireo.
"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).
Aside from Rhian, "Sang'gre" will feature a new set of characters which include Ysabel Ortega as Armea, the late Ricky Davao as Governor Emil, and Sienna Stevens who will take on the role of younger Mitena.
"Sang'gre" will premiere on GMA Prime on June 16.

Ralph De Leon addresses ex-housemates' 'paasa' allegations regarding AZ Martinez

Asked if he did not feel bad for AZ, who had also wanted to be his final duo, Ralph said that he developed a closeness with Will, and he did not "push the loveteam, hindi ko pinilit." Emilio Daez said, "Teka lang ha, lapit ka ng lapit sa kanya (AZ)." Kira Balinger jumped in, telling Ralph, "Stop using her, honestly, Ralph, ang kapal ng mukha mo." "Why do you keep going near her?" she added. "If you really have no intention of having anything to do with her, why do you keep going near her?" Other housemates chimed in and said he was "paasa." Ralph took the question in stride and said that he was "there for AZ." "I don't think you can blame me for genuinely caring for another person in this house," he said. "And that's the sole reason why I keep making it clear every single time that I do not want any feelings miscommunicated," he added.

Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera defend relationship from duo challengers: 'Totoo to'

Dustin Yu and Bianca De Vera defended their tandem from the 'Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition' duo challengers on Saturday's episode. During their Big Tapatan time, Dustin said that his bond with Bianca was unexpected. However, the duo challengers countered this. Kira Balinger said that Dustin used to always mention her name, whereas AC Bonifacio said that he asked every girl in the house if they were single. Dustin answered that Kira is 'girlfriend material' physically. Kira then asked, 'So if 'di ko naging ka-duo si Josh [Ford], what would you do?' 'To be honest Kira, hindi kita nakikitang magiging duo ko nung mga araw na 'yun. Honestly, 'till lumabas ka, hindi naman talaga tayo naging close so 'di kita pipiliin,' Dustin replied. Dustin then told the duo challengers, 'Sa lahat ng dito, wala 'kong idea diyan sa loveteam loveteam na 'yan.' Kira asked, 'So, ano 'to?' Dustin quickly answered, 'Totoo. Totoo 'to, Kira. Alam mo 'yan.' Kira asked why Dustin chose Bianca to be his final duo if it wasn't for the loveteam. 'Kasi gusto ko siya,' Dustin said. 'Hindi namin kailangan i-explain kung ano 'yung meron sa 'min.' Kira said that should their relationship be true, she asked the duo why they were so toxic, "Ang daming selos selos na nangyayari, hindi pa naman kayo. Don't you get how that's affecting the other housemates? Ramdam nila 'yan. Selos selos, 'di naman kayo,' Kira said. Bianca then admitted that she was 'scared na nagiging toxic na' especially since they aren't in a relationship yet, and acknowledged the jealousy they felt. 'Merong times na sobrang babaw ng mga pinagaawayan namin and yes, may mga tasks na nadala kayong lahat and for that, we're really, really sorry, Ate Klang, we're really, really sorry,' Bianca said. 'But just like with any type of friendship or relationship, we believe that from those obstacles, we've grown. We've grown a lot,' the actress added. 'With the toxic part, I feel like I did, I thought we were. Pero, feeling ko hindi naman pala. I think it was just a vital part of what we had to go through inside our journey in this house.'
