Rochelle Pangilinan in ‘Elemento’ finale

CEBU, Philippines - Elemento, GMA’s family friendly horror series, literally ends with a bang this Halloween.

In the finale episode, a little girl named Anya is bullied by her classmates for her dark skin and curly hair. She unexpectedly fights back with an alarming power. Anya creates fire and explosions simply by staring at objects when she gets angry.

Anya’s pyrokinesis results in chaos in her school and friction at home, where her mother Mayi – a housemaid played by Rochelle Pangilinan – finds herself in danger of losing her job.

Desperate to find the source of her daughter’s powers, Mayi ends up in the fire kingdom of Bambolito, a mysterious black dwarf played by comedian Pekto. Black dwarves are said to be scheming and the most evil of elementals, but Bambolito proves to Mayi that he is different.

A story about friendship, skin color discrimination and a mother’s love… all on “Elemento” today at 5:45 p.m. on GMA-7. (PR) (FREEMAN)
