Michelle Dee bids goodbye to 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre' after Cassandra's death
Michelle Dee has bid farewell to the world of Encantadia as her character, Cassandra, faced the end of her life in 'Sang'gre.' On Facebook, the beauty queen and actress shared a series of posts, starting with screenshots of Thursday's episode, where Cassandra was struck by Mitena's (Rhian Ramos) scepter. 'Avisala Meiste, Encantadia! Hanggang sa muli!' Michelle said. In a followup post, Michelle shared a closer photo of Cassandra and quipped, 'Plakado pa rin dapat kahit deds na!' The beauty queen even posted a meme showing two versions of the Top 5 announcements from Miss Universe 2023, alongside two different snaps of Cassandra, one where she's still alive and another one after her death. '[Fifth] crown na sana. Charot!' she wrote, adding the hashtag #wmmmo, which means "walang magmu-move on." Michelle continued her series of posts by writing, 'No matter where the Devas takes me, l will always be proud to call Lireo my home and no matter what happens, I will always be proud to call myself Hara Cassandra.' And in 'Pinoy Big Brother' spirit, Michelle posted a meme of Klarisse De Guzman. 'Klang be like: ANG OA ni Mitena! Ang OA! Sorry ha kung natapakan pagiging REYNA mo,' Michelle wrote. Cassandra, the queen of Lireo who also kept the air gem, was killed on Thursday's episode by Mitena (Rhian Ramos) as she made her move in taking over Encantadia. "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/JCB, GMA Integrated News
