Kelvin Miranda: The Making of a Modern Sang’gre

Kelvin Miranda and his career has been a journey of quiet determination, thoughtful choices, and an evolving understanding of what it means to be an actor, from walking onto sets as a background extra to stepping into the boots of Adamus, the first male Sang’gre in Encantadia Chronicles: Sang’gre. Every role he takes, every project he engages with, is a step toward shaping a craft that is intentional, meaningful, and authentic.

Kelvin has moved across film, television, and streaming platforms, building a body of work that reflects range and commitment. And despite how quickly things have accelerated, Kelvin’s instinct is always to credit the people behind him, his team, family, and supporters who’ve been with him since the beginning.

Early Roles, Early Lessons: Discovering Purpose in the Sidelines

Kelvin’s first experiences in showbiz were humble. Being an extra meant walking in the background, doing just enough to earn, and observing how sets worked. 

Earlier on, he recalls how that first small role on television shifted his perspective: it wasn’t just about performing, it was about understanding and embodying someone else’s story. “Nag start ako bilang isang extra… pero noong naranasan ko magkaroon ng maliit na role sa telebisyon, doon nagbago ang pananaw ko na masaya pala siyang gawin, nailalabas ko yung ekspresyon ko bilang indibidwal,” Kelvin says, reflecting on how even early work laid the foundation for his artistic growth.

  “Alam ko na palagi kong sinasabi sa sarili ko sa kada trabaho na ibinibigay sakin ay salamat at may pagkakataon nanaman akong gumawa ng isang piyesa, na tila ba parang tagumpay ako palagi sa bawat papel na ibinibigay sakin.”

Adamus: Embracing Responsibility in an Iconic Franchise

Being cast as Adamus, the first male Sang’gre, brought Kelvin into uncharted territory. The role required balancing action, emotion, and the legacy of an iconic series with a loyal fanbase. Kelvin approached it with humility and focus, recognizing the responsibility inherent in bringing a beloved character to life.

  “Siguro yung hindi niya pagsuko sa mga pinaglalaban niya… Maraming beses ko na naiisipan pero hindi ko parin mabitawan dahil naniniwala ako na parte ito ng journey,” he says, reflecting on how the role echoed his personal experiences.

Kelvin Miranda immediately recognized the responsibility. He approached Encantadia with the belief that every scene carried weight, pushing himself to make Adamus feel real on screen. For him, that meant focusing on Adamus’s resilience, his refusal to give up despite impossible circumstances, qualities Kelvin saw reflected in his own journey as an actor.

Discipline, Acceptance, and Growth: The Core of Kelvin Miranda’s Craft

Kelvin’s preparation for roles is guided by two principles: acceptance and understanding. After all, these allow him to approach even the most demanding projects with clarity and focus, turning pressure into a tool for growth rather than a source of fear.

  “‘Kailangan mo ng matinding pang unawa at malawak na imahinasyon para malagpasan mo yung challenges every shooting day. Sa tao man o sa kinalalagyan mong sitwasyon.”

Fans are an extension of his journey, and he treats them as partners in his growth rather than just spectators of his craft.
