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
