Ybrahim's cause of death revealed in 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre'
"Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" finally revealed the cause of death of Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid). The King of Sapiro passed away earlier in the series, but there no explanation for it. Now, Encantadiks finally got the answer: he died of a broken heart. Monday's episode showed Ybrahim mourning Amihan (Kylie Padilla), who died in the 2016 "Encantandia." Overwhelmed by grief, the King of Sapiro fell into a slump—neglecting his people and retreating into the shadows. His people, along with Imaw, urged him to breathe new life into Sapiro by siring an heir who will take the throne after him. But Ybrahim could only cry out in despair. The king said he already has a child—Lira (Mikee Quintos), his daughter by Amihan. However, the princess was part of the succession of Lireo, a duty she already declined. "Kailangan ng Sapiro anak na kikilalanin nito. Rehav, iyan ang pamanang iiwan mo sa lahat ng iyong nasasakupan," Imaw said. "Binawi sa akin ng Bathala ang aking kaligayan, kung kaya't hayaan natin siya ang pumili kung sino ang babaeng magdadala ng pag-asa sa Sapiro," Ybrahim answered. Alarmed by Ybrahim's desperation, Imaw asked Bathalumang Emre to send Ybrahim the rightful woman who will stand as the Queen of Sapiro. With the help of a retre, Sapiro found a new queen in Ybrahim's former flame Alena (Gabbi Garcia) who gave birth to their daughter Armea (Ysabel Ortega). As Armea became the heir of Sapiro, Alena abandoned her post as the queen of Lireo to be a mother, Ybrahim's wife, and the Queen of Sapiro. Despite it all, Sapiro remained in despair, as Ybrahim continued to grieve the loss of his great love. Clutching a miniature figure of Amihan, a tearful Ybrahim retreated into the darkness, confessing that he was tired of pretending to be happy. As he voiced his regrets for himself, his daughters, and Alena, Ybrahim pleaded with Emre to let him let go of everything and be reunited with Amihan. "Amihan, handa na ako," he said and hugged the figure tightly. With these final words, a blinding light enveloped Ybrahim, who quietly and peacefully passed away on the throne. "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. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News

Kylie Padilla, Rocco Nacino talk of Devas arc in 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre'
Kylie Padilla and Rocco Nacino were careful not to share spoilers about the upcoming Devas arc in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre." On the sidelines of the GMA Gala 2025, GMA News Online caught up with the two stars and asked them what fans can expect from the next episodes of the fantasy series. "Alam n'yo matalino ang mga viewers ng Encantadia. Medyo may mga napi-piece together sila kaya nakikita ko 'yung growth din ng ating viewers," said Rocco. The Kapuso actor plays Aquil, the husband of Danaya (Sanya Lopez), who died earlier in "Sang'gre" along with their daughter Gaiea (Cassy Lavarias). Aquil and Gaiea are in Devas, the equivalent of heaven in the world of Encantadia. Other characters with them are Amihan (Kylie), Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid), Lira (Mikee Quintos), Mira (Kate Valdez), and Cassandra (Michelle Dee). "Kita naman sa mga mukha namin na may dinadala kami nung pinakita kami sa Devas at may confrontation lang na mangyayari. Hanggang dun na lang," Rocco said. Kylie, meanwhile, said fans can see more of her character Amihan. "Maraming matutuwa kasi marami talagang humingi nun. Marami pang mangyayari so abangan n'yo 'yun at yes you will see more of Amihan," she said. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" stars Bianca Umali, Faith Da Silva, Kelvin Miranda, and Angel Guardian as the new generation of Sang'gres.

‘Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre': Pirena and Terra finally cross paths
Pirena (Glaiza De Castro) and Terra (Bianca Umali) have finally crossed paths. Thursday's episode of 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' showed the very first face-to-face encounter of the two, which unfolded in the middle of a chaotic scene at the local wet market, where Terra had been helping her Nanay Mona (Manilyn Reynes) sell fish. When a heated argument broke out between a vendor and a customer, Terra had to spring into action, disappearing briefly, only to return in her superhero guise as the mysterious 'Sang'gre.' Intent on de-escalating the situation, Terra offered to talk things out, but the angry man, Victor, chose violence over dialogue. The fight was brief. Terra easily bested him, showing off the strength and skill that set her apart from any ordinary mortal. Nearby, Pirena, who has been tirelessly searching the human world for her long-lost niece, caught wind of the commotion and followed the crowd. That's when it happened: the two finally laid eyes on each other for the first time, but neither knew who the other truly was. Pirena, stunned by the young woman's display of power, stepped forward and asked simply, 'Sino ka?' Before Terra could respond, the authorities arrived at the scene. Not wanting to risk exposure, Terra fled, leaving Pirena with nothing but questions and a growing suspicion that the girl she just saw might not be just any other hero. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs on GMA Network from Mondays to Fridays at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras."
