Kapuso actress Bianca Umali expressed her excitement and pride after being chosen to voice the title character in GMA Pictures’ upcoming animated film, ‘Ella Arcangel: Awit ng Pangil at Kuko’.
The project was officially introduced during Toy Conference 2026, where Bianca was formally presented as the voice behind Ella Arcangel, a young mambabarang from the popular comic book series created by Julius Villanueva in 2017.
Bianca shared that accepting the role was an easy decision because of the film’s strong Filipino roots and meaningful message.
“Um-oo ako dahil gawang Pinoy ‘to. Um-oo ako dahil napakaganda po nung materyal. And for people who know me as the actor that I am, I really choose the project that I do,” she said.
The actress also emphasized that she gravitates toward projects that reflect real-life experiences and inspire audiences.
“And I really go for the projects that are meaningful and very relevant sa kung ano ‘yung nangyayari sa atin at sa buhay nating mga tao, at ang Ella Arcangel po ay ganu’n,” she added.
According to Bianca, Ella’s story proves that heroism is not defined by age, gender, or social status.
“Ella Arcangel is a representation of all of us. That we do not have to be a certain age, a certain gender, or have a certain status in life for us to be heroes. We can all be heroes every single day, saan man tayo nakatira, kahit sino ka pa.”
‘Ella Arcangel: Awit ng Pangil at Kuko’ is expected to hit theaters soon.
