Kapamilya tween mermaid Ella Cruz has revealed that she is extremely flattered with the undying support of TV viewers in her top-rating Primetime Bida fantaserye “Aryana” as the show recently reached it all-time high national TV rating.

Based on the latest data of Kantar Media last Wednesday (October 3), “Aryana” clinched its highest national TV rating of 27.3% since it aired last May 2012. Its newest rival program in GMA “Moon Embracing The Sun” only registered 18.1% national TV rating.

Meanwhile, Ella also shared how overwhelmed she is with the clamor of fans that her love team with “Aryana” co-star Francis Magundayao is going to follow the sensational success of the Kathryn Bernardo-Daniel Padilla tandem.

“It is good to hear that there is no competition happening,” said Ella. “It feels great when they say that we are going to be the next ‘KathNiel’ because their tandem is one of the best and popular love teams today.”

When asked why she thinks that TV viewers root for ‘Franc-Ella’ (Francis and Ella) love team, the Kapamilya primetime princess said that it maybe because of their great teamwork. “Francis and I always help each other to make our scenes beautiful. I also believe that avid fans fell in love with our tandem because Francis is a great actor.”

Meanwhile, like Franc-Ella, the magical ‘tail’ of “Aryana” continues to thrill TV viewers now that Adrian (Francis) has already discovered Aryana’s (Ella) secret. Will Adrian’s special feelings for Aryana change now that he knows that she is a mermaid?
