The new keeper of the Jewel of Earth–Danaya–is newcomer Sanya Lopez. Diana Zubiri played the role of Danaya in the 2005 original.
To play the role of Pirena, keeper of the Jewel of Fire and the most fiesty and intelligent of the Sang’gres, will be Glaiza de Castro. Pirena was originally played by Sunshine Dizon.
