Actress Rhian Ramos is set to star in Sang’gre, the next chapter of the Encantadia saga.
In an interview during the recently concluded Bakery Fair, she gladly shared updates about the role and the much anticipated TV project.
Though some have commented that the show has taken a while to air, Rhian explained that the production team is making sure every detail—especially the special effects—is perfect.
“It’s worth the wait. It’s coming out in June. It’s taking a bit longer because of the special effects involved,” she assured fans.
Rhian plays Mitena, a name that translates to “curse”—fitting for the most powerful antagonist in Encantadia.
Playing the villain, however, was a no-brainer for her.
“I had no second thoughts on playing a kontrabida role. I always believe baddie roles are more fun,” she said with a smile. “As an actor, I love exploring things. Probably the only hesitation I had in accepting the project was the time commitment because of the long shoots—and the costume, which is a bit of a hassle.”
Meanwhile, at the Bakery Fair 2025 at the World Trade Center, she showcased her baking skills in front of industry leaders and fans.
“I’m very flattered because I’m sure a lot of people here are better bakers than myself,” she admitted. “I love the opportunity to share my products. Obviously, I’m very proud of them. My personal favorite is my own product, and making people agree with that just flatters me.”
Her cookie business, Bās Bākes, has been growing steadily, with Rhian personally involved in perfecting each recipe.
“Being an entrepreneur allows me to learn so much, and it applies to other aspects of my life as well. Seeing my business grow in front of my eyes encourages me to explore the business world in other ways,” she said.
So, what’s next for Bās Bākes? “Definitely, I’m going to add more flavors and products, but I’m going to stick with my cookie line,” she confirmed.
Becoming the ‘Sexy Baker’
The internet has dubbed Rhian the “Sexy Baker,” a title that started with an unexpected moment during a beach trip.
“It rained, so we could no longer swim,” she recalled. “I brought some ready-to-bake cookie dough, so we decided to bake instead. Then Michelle Dee said, ‘Wait, iba ‘to.’ She took a photo of me, and it went viral.”
