Encantadia ready to captivate audiences

Amihan grows up in the mortal world, with her loving and kind father, Raquim. She grows up believing that she is human. But one night, the Hathor came. The Hathor, fierce creatures from the world of Encantadia, arrive in the mortal realm to kill Raquim. Raquim is murdered but Amihan is rescued. She is taken back to Lireo, a magical world of fairies. It is here that she discovers the truth about her heritage that her mother is the Queen of the Fairies. Entrusted with one of four key crystals, Amihan’s real life begins in the world called Encantadia.

This is the premise of Encantadia, the newest fantasy series airing soon on GMA. Filmed on an elaborate sound stage and on locations around Luzon, the series aims to bring to life the enthralling adventures of the four fairy princesses and their struggle for both power and peace. This undertaking will span across the entire fairy realm and cross over into the human world.

Starring in the key role of Queen of the Fairies is the fair Dawn Zulueta. Her fairy daughters are played by none other than Iza Calzado (Amihan), Karylle (Alena), Sunshine Dizon (Pirena) and Diana Zubiri (Danaya). Joining them are such powerhouse veterans as Pinky Amador and Pen Medina as well as young stars Nancy Castiglione, Jennylyn Mercado and Mark Herras.

The fantasy series, which is set to air very soon, promises to captivate and charm audiences with its intricate costumes, exciting fight scenes and commanding acting. [source]
