Glaiza De Castro, Lady Gagita transform into Pirena in Pride Month collab
Pirena meets Pirena!
Glaiza De Castro teamed up with Lady Gagita for an Encantadia-inspired transformation shoot to celebrate the release of "Sang'gre" and Pride Month.
On Instagram, the Sparkle star shared photos of her and the drag artist wearing her warrior costume as Sang'gre Pirena.
"Had so much fun shooting this collab with [Lady Gagita]! Ito rin ang una naming pagkikita," Glaiza said.
"I've been seeing her work, and when I saw her do Pirena on 'Drag Den Philippines,' I knew I had to meet her!" she added.
The Kapuso actress said it was also the perfect time to do the transformation now that "Sang'gre" is finally airing on GMA Prime.
"Pasensya na sa late submission! Kebs na sa grades," she said.
"Special thanks to everyone involved in this passion project," she added, closing her post with a Pride Month greeting: "Mabuhay ang mga bakla!"
"Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" airs weeknights on GMA Prime at 8 p.m. after "24 Oras."
Glaiza is also set to appear in the upcoming Kapuso dance show "Stars on the Floor," which will begin airing on GMA Network on June 28.

Chavit Singson launches 'Chavit: Legend of the Philippines' in hopes to educate and inspire globally
Chavit Singson has officially launched his book, 'Chavit: Legend of the Philippines,' which aims to offer a look into the life and lessons of the former Ilocos Sur Governor. On Friday evening at the Peninsula Manila in Makati, Singson unveiled the book at an event graced by many of his friends, including showbiz personalities Vina Morales, Pops Fernandez, Anabelle Rama, and Eddie Gutierrez. 'Chavit: Legend of the Philippines' is not a traditional autobiography but a sprawling, in-depth interview with almost 700 questions answered by Singson. Singson said that a pivotal lesson he wishes readers to glean from the book, particularly concerning his role in politics, is the supreme importance of 'credibility' for success. 'If they want to be successful, kailangan 'yung credibility nila [ay] huwag masira. Kasi like me, ang iniingatan ko, isa lang salita ko. Nobody is perfect, pero kung magsabi ka, kailangan totoo,' he said. 'Nobody's perfect. Magkamali ka, just say sorry. Kasi 'yun ang kabilin-bilinan ng tatay ko. 'Pag nawala ang credibility mo, wala na maniwala sayo. So very important ang credibility. 'Yun ang kaingat-ingatan ko.' Photo: Carby Rose Basina/GMA Integrated News 'Chavit: Legend of the Philippines' is authored by Polish author Maciej Mikurda, who admitted that one of the biggest challenges for him was compressing Singson's rich and colorful life into a single volume. 'I think the governor's life could fill like 10 books, not only just one, but we focused on the most important facts,' he said. Mikurda, who devoted almost 1.5 years to writing the book, said that his focus was placed on the most important facts while also deliberately incorporating Singson's personal beliefs, values, and the rules he lives by to provide deeper insight. The book's publisher, Riza Hansen, shared that they plan to distribute the books to many students across the country, as well as to translate the book into 15 languages, with an Arabic translation already underway, aiming to make it accessible to over 5 billion people worldwide. This ambitious endeavor includes organizing book launches in 20 world capitals across six continents. 'We want as many people in the world as possible to know who Chavit is and how amazing his story is, and to understand the beautiful history of our country, the Philippines,' she said. Outside of politics, Singson is also involved in the entertainment industry, helping to produce projects, including the recent film 'Samahan ng mga Makasalanan,' which starred David Licauco, Sanya Lopez, and more. He teased that he has another upcoming project with GMA Network, which is coming 'very soon.' 'Ewan ko kung kailan, pero nakahanda na. Sinabi sa akin nakahanda na lahat. So 'yung formal na ano na lang, launching,' he said. 'I just want to help the movie industry.' —JCB, GMA Integrated News

'Encantandia Chronicles: Sang'gre:' Muros defends Lireo to death, Theo saves Danaya's life
As if Thursday's blood bath wasn't enough, more deaths ensured on Friday's episode of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" as the four kingdoms of Encantadia — Hatoria, Punjabwe, Sapiro, Adamya — came together to face Mitena. To defend Lireo, Muros (Carlos Gonzales) took on Mitena and her army all by himself and quickly fell to his death. Meanwhile, Theo (Martin Del Rosario) and Sang'gre Danaya (Sanya Lopez) transported themselves back from Earth and quickly found themselves in a little battle with Ednu (Jamie Wilson) and Olgana (Bianca Manalo), who quickly loosed an arrow into Theo's chest. It propelled Danaya to transform into a full-powered Sang'gre, who took on the two by her lonesome. But just when she thought she put Olgana and Ednu to rest and attended to the wounded Theo, the villain set her eyes on Danaya and aimed her arrow at her. The injured Theo, still quite alert, was quick to his feet and quickly took yet another arrow on the chest. In dying, he saved Danaya's life. "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" ended Friday's episode with the four kingdoms meeting face to face with Mitena and her army. "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. — LA, GMA Integrated News
