Cast members of “Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre” are teasing an “epic” and “full of heart” finale, as the hit fantasy series wraps up on May 8 after nearly a year on air.
Lead star Bianca Umali said the finale captures the emotional core of the story following the many trials faced by the Sang’gres.
“Maybe the best word to describe it is ‘full of heart.’ After everything the Sang’gres have gone through… the best thing to hold on to is our hearts and to unite. Despite all the pain, sorrow, sacrifices and war, we remain one in heart,” she said during the show’s finale press conference.
Umali also shared how her role as Terra shaped her personally over the years.
“The Bianca who started to give life to Terra in 2023 is not the same Bianca now that the story is ending in 2026. One of the biggest lessons I will carry with me is to continue believing in yourself,” she shared.
“Even if you are surrounded by trials, doubt and uncertainty, the best way to move forward is to listen to yourself, to your heart, and believe in yourself. You will reach where you are meant to be,” Umali added.
Co-star Angel Guardian said the end of the series brings a mix of emotions for the cast, making it difficult to describe in just one word.
“It’s hard to pinpoint just one emotion. We’re happy because it was such a successful run and a magical adventure for all of us, but at the same time it’s sad because we’ll lose the routine we’ve had for almost three years,” she said.
Guardian said being part of the series was a meaningful experience for the entire cast.
“To be part of the world of Encantadia is already a blessing in itself. I don’t think we want to say goodbye. It’s not really goodbye, it’s more like ‘until we meet again,” Guardian added.
She expressed hope that the franchise could return in the future.
“We don’t know — maybe after another decade, the world of Encantadia will open again. Hopefully we’re still part of it,” she said.
Reflecting on her character Deia, Guardian emphasized a message of courage and conviction.
“We need to stand up for what we believe is right, even if it’s scary. Don’t be afraid — that’s what I learned from Deia, and that’s what I hope viewers take with them,” she pointed out.
Guardian also thanked fans who supported the series throughout its run.
“We reached this point because of our fans. Thank you so much for your support. As the finale approaches, we hope you stay with us until the end,” she enthused.
For Kelvin Miranda, who plays Adamus, the series offered lessons about awareness and balance amid challenges.
“There are many trials, not just on set but in personal life, and you have to learn how to balance them. I learned to keep my eyes open — to observe, study and understand what’s around me so I can move forward with more certainty,” he said.
Asked to describe a standout character for the finale without spoilers, Miranda said, “Maangas — that’s the word.”
Meanwhile, Rhian Ramos, who portrays antagonist Mitena, said her character’s journey reflects how people respond to pain and adversity.
“Not everything that happens in your life is a good experience, but you can’t let pain define you. The strength of a person is how they move past those experiences,” she said.
She described the final stretch of the series as “era-defining and epic.”
The finale week begins with the realm collapses at the hands of Gargan using the Black Gem in forcing Sang’gre Pirena (Glaiza de Castro), Sang’gre Danaya (Sanya Lopez), Sang’gre Alena (Gabbi Garcia) and Sang’gre Amihan (Kylie Padilla), into a battle against their successors, creating the most heartbreaking conflict yet. More than just an ending, this finale continues a legacy–one built on love, magic and power. It is a testament that Encantadia is far from over, as the new generation of Sang’gres will carry on the fight to protect the realm beloved by fans.
With its remarkable journey that resonated with audiences both on-air and online, “Encantadia Chronicles: Sanggre” continues to stand as a legendary milestone.
