Encantadia 2016

Encantadia is an upcoming Filipino fantasy television series to be broadcast by GMA Network. It is dubbed as the modern requel (retelling-sequel) to the 2005 fantasy series Encantadia.[1] The show is set to air on July 2016 on the network's GMA Telebabad block replacing Poor Señorita, and also to be aired worldwide via GMA Pinoy TV.[2]

The new sang'gres, keepers of the four gems, were revealed on April 4, 2016. Kylie Padilla will play the role of Amihan, Alena will be portrayed by Gabbi Garcia, Sanya Lopez is Danaya while Glaiza de Castro takes on the role of Pirena.[3]

Cast and characters

Main cast

  • Kylie Padilla as Sang'gre Amihan, the keeper of the wind gem. Amihan succeeds her mother Mine-a as Queen of Lireo, and is the most-skilled warrior among the sisters.
  • Glaiza de Castro as Sang'gre Pirena, the keeper of the gem of fire. As the eldest of the four sisters, she is the wisest and the ambitious one. She has always prepared herself to one day become Queen of Lireo but she gets consumed by hatred, especially towards her sister Amihan.
  • Gabbi Garcia as Sang'gre Alena, the keeper of the water gem. Alena is blessed with a beautiful voice that can paralyze or kill an enemy. Alena never desired to be a queen, because she knew that her mother had to sacrifice love in the name of her duty for Lireo, her only wish is to find the love and marriage.
  • Sanya Lopez as Sang'gre Danaya, the youngest of the sisters and the keeper of the earth gem. Danaya has the ability to communicate with animals and plants, and also heal the wounded. She tends to get into petty arguments and often clashes with the eldest sister, Pirena.
