Brent Manalo, Mika Salamanca win first Million Votes Challenge
Brent Manalo and Mika Salamanca secured 200,000 votes for their duo after winning the first Million Votes Challenge in "Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition." Thursday's episode of the reality series showed the Big Four duos battling it out to win some votes using their own skills ahead of the Big Night. They had to cross a seesaw and deposit a ball on the other end, where a flat eye-shaped container was attached. The ball must stay in the container while they cross back. The duo will take turns doing the task until they complete all 10 balls. BreKa was the fastest to complete the task, followed by AzVer (AZ Martinez and River Joseph). CharEs (Charlie Fleming and Esnyr) were the third and RaWi (Ralph De Leon and Will Ashley) came in last. AzVer secured 100,000 votes for their duo, while CharEs and RaWi took 60,000 and 40,000 votes, respectively. The second Million Votes Challenge will be another chance for the duos to secure votes and help their campaign to become the Big Winner. The Big Night will be held on July 5, Saturday, at 9 p.m. at New Frontier Theater. Tickets are for free and have already been disbursed to the families, friends, and supporters of the housemates. —MGP, GMA Integrated News

Ricky Davao's character Emil makes first appearance in 'Sang'gre'
The late actor Ricky Davao made his first appearance in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" as Emil, a new villain in the story. On Thursday's episode, Emil was introduced as the feared leader of Pistol Gang in Distrito Sais, who are the primary instigators of various illegal activities and wrongdoings in the area, including exploitation of jeep and tricycle drivers, establishment of illegal gambling dens, supply of illegal drugs, and more. His introduction came just after the deaths of bad guys Victor and his cohort, members of the Pistol Gang, after attempting to drive young Terra (Juharra Asayo) and her family out of their neighborhood. While an unseen force (actually a duwende) made the culprits shoot themselves, Emil wasted no time asserting his dominance in their absence. He sent his men to demand continued payments from Terra's family and their neighbors, hinting at the wider control he held over their community. Ricky passed away in May after facing complications related to cancer. He was 63 years old. He is survived by his four children: Kenneth, Rikki Mae, Arabella, and Justine. "Encantadia Chronicles: 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

Glaiza De Castro explains lyrics added to 'Encantadia' theme song in Bayang Barrios collab
Aside from the iconic chants from the original "Encantadia" theme song, Glaiza De Castro's collaboration with Bayang Barrios also came with new lyrics written by the actress. In Nelson Canlas' report on "24 Oras," Thursday, Glaiza shared how she was pleasantly surprised by the setup for their live performance of "Tadhana" together. "Nagulat ako kasi ang laki ng setup. Mero'ng kulintang, merong chimes, and everything. So para akong nasa Devas bigla," Glaiza said. Glaiza said that Bayang explained to her the meaning behind the well-loved theme song, which she gave new life to with her additional lyrics. "2005, 2016, ang naririnig lang natin is 'uwe, uwe,' tapos in-explain siya sa 'kin ni Ms. Bayang kung ano 'yung story behind it. Para siyang kalikasan na nasira. 'Yun 'yung description sa kaniya nung composer, so parang nag-cha-chant lang talaga siya. Freestyle lang talaga siya. And then ako naman, bilang nasira 'yung kalikasan, gusto ko pa ring lumaban," Glaiza said. "Encantadia" has a new spin-off series, "Sang'gre." It introduces the newest keepers of the brilyantes: Terra (Bianca Umali), Flamarra (Faith Da Silva), Adamus (Kelvin Miranda), and Deia (Angel Guardian). "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
