<p>We have seen the ever-formidable and devious Claudia Cabrera fight and defend herself against Stella (Kim Chiu) and her own husband, Vincent (Paulo Avelino). Even more so, imagine the tension if someone were allied with Claudia—and that someone is Fiona, her loyal assistant who has always been by her side. </p><p> Though their characters are portrayed as antagonists, Sofia Andres and Alora Sasam are far from their on-screen personas as Claudia and Fiona. Off-camera, the two exude cheerful energy and share a sister-like bond, especially in their behind-the-scenes moments from “<a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/studios/tv/the-alibi"><strong>The Alibi.</strong></a>”</p><p>All glammed up before a take, Alora shared a mini mukbang reel on Instagram. In the clip, she is seen enjoying pasta and pizza with Sofia while having casual chats. Later, Rafael Rosell (as Matthew) and John Arcilla (as Arthur) join in, sharing the meal.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXEje4fznIF/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=502&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A5335183.099999905%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="939" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Behind their intense scenes with Stella lies the merriment and joy that Sofia and Alora share off-camera.
