Angel Grace Trazona Guardian (born September 6, 1998)[1] is a Filipino actress, recording artist and commercial model[2][3] of Palestinian descent. She is best known for her participation in the reality show Running Man Philippines (2022–2024), where she became the first Ultimate Runner.[4] She stars as Deia, one of the main characters in Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre.

Early life

Although Sparkle's artist profile for Guardian describes her as "Fil-Israeli",[5][6] some interviews describe her as half-Palestinian or Filipino-Palestinian.[7][8]

Career

In 2024, Guardian was included in GMA's Sparkle 10, a group of rising young actresses from the network. After small roles in shows such as Mano Po Legacy: The Flower Sisters, Guardian landed a major role as one of the Sang'gres in the Encantadia spin-off, Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre (2025).[9] Her character, Deia, is named after Iza Calzado's daughter, with Calzado's permission. Calzado, who portrayed Amihan in the original series, wished Guardian good luck on social media, writing "Avisala, Sang’gre Deia! Alagaan mo ang brilyante natin (Take care of the precious crystal)." She described Guardian as "kind", "sincere", and "level headed".[10]

Personal life

Guardian supports Palestinian liberation. She has shared an image describing Israel as an "occupation" and an "apartheid state", but clarified that she does not support Hamas.[11][12]
