Things You Didn’t Know About Gabbi Garcia

AS A FAN of the original Encantadia series, I was a bit hesitant and skeptical when the network announced a remake after a few years. I told myself, how can they make something even better?

I didn’t know most of the cast members. But as I watched the remake further, I fell in love with the actors and how they interpreted their characters and gave it their own flair. One of which was Gabbi Garcia.

After watching her play the iconic role of Alena, I became a fan. I made sure to watch all her films, series and performances. Why? Because she is so darn talented! Here are some of the things you may not know about Gabbi Garcia.
