Don’t get too carried away by their cruel, bloody acts and perennially miffed personalities on screen. Off-camera, though, the “Pamilya Sagrado” cast is a fun-loving bunch! They aren’t evil—yup, even Jaime (Tirso Cruz III). To convince you that they’re good and happy people in real life, here’s a deck of their behind-the-scenes photos.
While Jaime’s ruthless quest for power makes our blood boil, Tirso’s cheerful spirit behind the scenes is simply endearing. He loves sharing photos of himself and his work ‘ganaps’ (which give fans a peek into famous teleserye sets) and dedicates the captions to his late son, TJ. Aww.
Their mansion might seem like a chilling place of doom, but wait until the cast members are done working! The ‘Sagrado’ minions Eric (Polo Ravales), Vincent (Ron Angeles), and Randy (Marvin Yap) shed their villainous masks and join their on-screen ‘bosses’ in transforming the house into the ultimate party pad.
As always, everyone loves to snap pics with Piolo Pascual, aka Rafael in the story. He’s also seen bonding with his son Justin (Grae Fernandez), who could easily be dubbed as ‘tagapagmana ng kaguwapuhan ni Rafael Sagrado.’ They’re often goofing around, just when you think they’re getting ready for another intense confrontation.
The cast is often out of town for tapings, but they always find ways to make each lock-in day a bit more exciting. After all, they’re with co-actors they treat like real family, which makes them feel right at home. One of their favorite pastimes is working out! Even Mylene Dizon keeps up with the energy of the group’s male fitness enthusiasts. Mr. and Mrs. Sagrado are serving major abs goals!
He might be leading a messy life in the narrative as Eleazar, the Sagrado clan’s black sheep and a disgraced ex-president ousted by his own kin. Ah, the chaotic woes of the wealthy! But off-camera, John Arcilla is chill in his ‘presidential stance.’ He’s played so many big roles already, but every new character feels like a new adventure to him.
Her sweet face might not quite match the wicked, merciless nature of the Sagrado family, which—whether she likes it or not—she’s a part of as Eleazar’s daughter. But off-screen, Micaela Santos (aka Danica) fits right in with her ‘Sagrado’ castmates. You’ll spot her in one photo giving her best ‘first daughter’ pose alongside John. Don’t let her serious moments in the show fool you; off-camera, she’s all smiles and friendly banter.
So, the next time you’re gritting your teeth at their power-hungry schemes, just remember—these villains are only bad when the cameras are rolling. Who needs enemies when you’re part of a family that’s this much fun?
