GAMBLE HAS PAID OFF HANDSOMELY: For Richard Gutierrez, taking on a major contravida role in “La Luna Sangre” has been worth it.
“It has paid off,’’ the veteran actor said during a thanksgiving event ABS-CBN hosted in time for the forthcoming ending of the popular evening series.
Richard said being in show business entails a lot of risk-taking, and playing Sandrino, the Supreme Vampire in “La Luna,” is just one of them.
He said he’s glad he took on the part, which happily revived his once dormant career. Sandrino, he admitted, is a tough act to follow. The role allowed him to shine and showcase his once underrated acting skills.
He trusts that his new contract with ABS-CBN shall allow him more room for creativity and challenges. Richard is doing a movie with Angel Locsin and Angelica Panganiban for Star Cinema next.

THE PLOT RISES: Here’s what to expect in the final days of “La Luna Sangre.”
As the dreaded apocalypse nears, can Tristan and Malia use love as their ultimate weapon to defeat Sandrino?
Tension continues to rise in the show’s last two weeks especially after Sandrino discovers that Tristan had betrayed him and sided with Malia once more. Now, the Supremo must do everything he can to stop his brother. Tristan, meanwhile, remains confident that he will emerge victorious in the end.
Since the beginning, Malia has always had the heart to love and serve as the “bagong itinakda.”
Malia defied fate when she still chose to love and be with Tristan, even if the prophecy said that he will become her arch enemy.
Meanwhile, Tristan may have succumbed to bitterness and hate once, but his heart remains pure and loving. Love has always motivated him to work hard and provide for his family.
“La Luna Sangre” is the third installment of the hit “Imortal” trilogy.
