Actor Ruru Madrid had nothing but praise for his longtime girlfriend, Bianca Umali, who impressed both fans and critics with her powerful fight scenes as Terra in ‘Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre’.

In the July 18 episode, Terra (played by Umali) unleashed her combat prowess after a brutal attack that left her family gunned down in their own home by the men of Gov. Emil (Ricky Davao). The action-packed sequence quickly trended online, with Ruru joining the chorus of admirers.
“Ang husay husay! Kakaproud!” he wrote, expressing how proud he was of Bianca’s performance—especially noteworthy coming from the actor known for his own action roles in GMA’s primetime slate.
In the hit GMA Network fantasy series, Bianca’s character Terra is the daughter of Sang’gre Danaya (Sanya Lopez) and the destined heir to the Earth Gem. As the chosen protector of Encantadia, she is tasked with defending the realm against the powerful queen of Mine-a-ve, Mitena (Rhian Ramos).

Meanwhile, off-screen, Ruru Madrid and Bianca Umali are celebrating a major relationship milestone—their 7th anniversary.
On Sunday, July 20, Ruru posted a heartwarming video compilation of their moments together, showing snippets of their adventures, quiet dates, and mutual support through the years. Alongside it, he penned a touching caption: “Pitong taon ng pag-ibig.
Hindi perpekto, pero totoo.
Hindi man laging tugma, pero palagi nating pinipili ang tama.
Tayo pa rin. Tayong dalawa.
Hanggang dulo—ikaw at ako.
Sayo lang ang tingin.
Mahal na mahal kita.
Happy 7th anniversary, Maria Isadora Bianca.”
