During an intimate media conference last April 30, in Quezon City, the lead stars of the well-loved fantaserye admitted they had a hard time saying goodbye to their characters in the show.

"To be honest, during the last day, when I got home, I did cry... just because it was the last time that I'm taking my makeup off. I just got senti about it doing something for the very last time," Rhian Ramos said.

Playing show villain Mitena, Rhian said the character is something she’ll always remember with fondness.

"I think this experience is something that I'm going to take with me forever," she said. "I'm gonna hold on to the memories, so I can relive them anytime I want." 

Bianca Umali, who plays Terra in the show, is not keen on saying goodbye to her character either. 

"Ako, I'm not saying goodbye. I guess this is more coming from a character that you won't be able to portray for a long time. Matitigil yung nakasanayan mo na halos every other day nagtataping kayo, you are your character," Bianca said.

After three years of portraying Terra, Bianca says she would gladly take the role again given the chance.

"Mamimiss ko si Terra, mamimiss ko yung mundo niya, yung mundo nila, pero hindi ako magpapaalam sa kanya. Alam ko na kapag tinawag ako ni Terra, I will be back," she added.

As for Angel Guardian, she describes the end of her run as Deia "bittersweet" recalling the challenges she faced as with the lessons she learned while working on the series.

"Nakakalungkot talaga siya, just like what I said before, masaya ako natapos ito kasi grabe ang dami namin pinagdaanan. If you look back, it's been three years pero yung feeling nga kasi na naging routine na namin ito, and I just really love being Deia, nakakalungkot. Nakasanayan ko na siya, kaya it's really hard for me to say goodbye," Angel said.

Kelvin Miranda, who played Adamus, aims to keep hanging on to the possibility of the show returning to TV sooner than never believing the saga is not yet over.

"Siguro sa pagpapaalam, hindi rin naman ako magpapaalam sa kanya [Adamus] kasi alam ko naman na hindi pa talaga tapos ang kwento at marami pang pwedeng mangyari, so ang masasabi ko lang ay hanggang sa muli," Kelvin said.

The cast also shared that if they were given a chance, they would like to bring home show character, Imaw.

"Ang cute kaya ni Imaw! Actually happy pill namin si Imaw sa set kapag bored or pagod na lahat sa set kapag nandun si Imaw sobrang tuwang-tuwa kami especially kapag may ginagawa silang face na nakatirik yung face niya tapos nakakababa yung mouth niya, sobrang tawang tawa kami," Angel shared.

The finale week begins with the realm collapsing at the hands of Gargan using the Black Gem, forcing Sang'gre Pirena (Glaiza de Castro), Sang'gre Danaya (Sanya Lopez), Sang'gre Alena (Gabbi Garcia), and Sang'gre Amihan (Kylie Padilla) into a battle against their successors, creating the most heartbreaking conflict yet.

More than just an ending, this finale continues a legacy-one built on love, magic, and power. It is a testament that Encantadia is far from over, as the new generation of Sang gres will carry on the fight to protect the realm beloved by fans.
