Ysabel Ortega admits she felt challenged by Enchan, fight scenes in 'Sang'gre'
Ysabel Ortega admitted she felt challenged learning Enchan, the fictional language in Encantadia, as well as the fight scenes she had to do in "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre." In Aubrey Carampel's report in "24 Oras" Monday, the Sparkle star shared that there were times she would forget the nuances of language when they were shooting scenes for the series. "Sobrang complex pala ng mundo [ng Encantadia], it's literally an alternate universe to the point na first day ko, as in, may mga times na I still forget 'yung mga nuances. May isa akong eksena nasabi ko, 'Tulungan mo ko, please' so syempre nag-cut kami. Sabi nila, 'Ysabel walang please sa Encantadia ha,'" she said. Ysabel also talked about her challenging yet rewarding role as Armea, which required fight scenes. "More on refresher na lang sa sword fighting, kasi sword po 'yung weapon ko dito sa 'Sang'gre,' so of course training din for the scenes that we have," she said. "Nag-t-training talaga kami a day before shooting para talagang ma-master na 'yung mga fight scenes na gagawin namin for the show," she added. Ysabel stars as Armea, the daughter of King Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid) and Queen Alena (Gabbi Garcia) of Sapiro. On last Wednesday's episode, Armea was officially crowned queen of the kingdom following the death of Ybrahim. "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. —CDC, GMA Integrated News

Armea takes over as Sapiro's queen after Ybrahim's death
The realm of Sapiro mourned the loss of its king as Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid) passed away. Wednesday's episode of "Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" showed Alena (Gabbi Garcia) being informed of her husband's death. In tears, Alena expressed that perhaps it was better she was not by his side in his final moments, acknowledging that Ybrahim's heart had long belonged to someone else. Ybrahim's lifeless body was shown being carried by guards, laid to rest in a ceremonial setup adorned with floral arrangements, befitting his status as Sapiro's beloved ruler. Once he was left alone, Amihan (Kylie Padilla) appeared at the wake. She lovingly told Ybrahim she was excited to finally be with him again. The late Sang'gre allowed the mystical group of Retre to take his soul, then disappeared once more. Armea crowned as queen In the wake of Ybrahim's passing, Sapiro ushered in a new era as his daughter Armea (Ysabel Ortega) was officially crowned queen in a solemn ceremony. Among those who celebrated Armea's coronation was Lira (Mikee Quintos), Ybrahim's eldest child. Despite the honor, Armea expressed hesitation in her new position, admitting that she feels unworthy of the title and even suggested that Lira should lead instead, given her seniority as Ybrahim's firstborn. However, Lira reassured her that she had long declined the throne, believing that Armea was both destined and deserving to rule Sapiro. With humility and determination, Armea vowed to do her best as queen, promising to serve and protect Sapiro as her father once did.
