Francis Magundayao, All Set to Make Primetime Viewers Fall in Love in 'Aryana'

After winning the hearts of TV viewers in his portrayal as the young Piolo Pascual in the drama series “Dahil sa Pag-ibig,” former child actor Francis Magundayao is now all set to make a big splash in ABS-CBN's Primetime Bida as he joins the cast of top-rating fantaserye "Aryana" as the new love team partner of Kapamilya tween mermaid Ella Cruz.



Ever since Francis and Ella were paired in “Dahil sa Pag-ibig” as the young Piolo and young Cristine Reyes, TV viewers have already noticed the remarkable onscreen chemistry between the two young stars. This fascination prompted FrancElla (Francis and Ella) fans to aggressively request for the reunion of their idols in Ella’s fantaserye “Aryana.”



In fact, due to so much anticipation of TV viewers, Francis' first appearance in “Aryana” last Wednesday (August 29) instantly became a hot topic in the microblogging site Twitter. FrancEllas flooded the said social networking site with tweets like "forevercheska: Francis is such a good dancer! Even when he is angry, he is still very handsome;" "@FRANCELLISTAS: Francis Magundayao's acting talent is really amazing. He is a very talented kid;" and "joyful_jonnah03: I already want to see FrancElla scenes! I'm very excited!"



Meanwhile, TV viewers will surely get more hooked with the magical 'tail' of "Aryana" now that Francis' character Adrian is about to meet Aryana soon. Who is Adrian? How will he change Aryana's life? Will Adrian become a huge threat to Aryana's close friends Marlon (Paul Salas) and Hubert (Dom Roque)?

New Loch Ness Photo Released!

New Loch Ness Photo taken by popular Loch Ness monster hunter George Edwards has been released to the media.



George Edwards, a popular Loch Ness hunter from Scotland, has released a photo of a bump on the water in what he believed as the mythological creature "Loch Ness" monster. The photo is now spreading on various international news sites, blogs and social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

According to reports, the photograph was taken by Edwards on November 2, 2011 from the deck of his boat named “Nessie Hunter.”

“It was slowly moving up the loch towards Urquhart Castle and it was a dark grey colour. It was quite a fair way from the boat, probably about half a mile away but it’s difficult to tell in water,” Edwards reportedly said.

Edwards explained that it took him several months before he release the photograph because he had it examined by “experts” first.

“I did not want to mention my sighting until I was sure that I had not photographed a log or something inanimate in the water. I have friends in the USA who have friends in the military. They had my photo analysed and they have no doubt that I photographed an animate object in the water.I was really excited as I am sure that some strange creatures are lurking in the depths of Loch Ness,” he said.
