Ella Cruz in Toda Max this December 22, Pokwang Hangs Peso Bills in Christmas Tree

Teen mermaid Ella Cruz will be guesting this Saturday in “Toda Max” this Saturday (December 22). In the sitcom, Ella will be playing Betty, an ugly duckling-turned-beautiful swan that will capture Jonas' heart (Paul Salas).

Meanwhile, peso bills are hung on Pokwang’s Christmas tree in “Toda Max” where she plays as the rich widower Lady G. Her role in the sitcom is proud and brash and always wants to have the spotlight on her. According to the comedienne, “I wish to have this much money in real life not to have as a Christmas décor but rather to help those who are in need,” said Pokwang.

Unlike Lady G, Justin Bibbo (Vhong Navarro) is much more compassionate and this will be seen this Saturday (December 22) on “Toda Max” when he decides to use his savings not to build a glittering Christmas tree to compete with Lady G but to use it to help a calamity-stricken barangay. “We believe that the essence of Christmas is giving and this is what we want to show in Toda Max”, Vhong said.

Who will have the better Christmas tree? Find out on “Toda Max” this Saturday (December 22) after “Maalaala Mo Kaya” on ABS-CBN.

It may be simple, but it would really make me very happy.”

Meanwhile, unlike Ella’s good life and career this year, tension continues to arise in the magical ‘tail’ of her character Aryana now that people have discovered the existence of mermaids.

Aryana Beats Pilot Episode of Paroa: Ang Kwento ni Mariposa in National TV Ratings

ABS-CBN’s top-rating Primetime Bida series “Aryana” remains to be the no.1 fantaserye in the country as it recently won in the ratings game over GMA’s newly launched fantasy program.

Based on the data from Kantar Media last Monday (November 5), the series topbilled by Kapamilya tween mermaid Ella Cruz garnered 27.8% national TV ratings, or almost 13 points higher than the pilot episode of its new rival in GMA “Paroa: Ang Kuwento ni Mariposa” which only got 15.5%.

According to Ella, there is no problem with having a new rival program because she is not competing with anyone. “I just always strive to do my best at work. I think it’s better to be focused on improving my craft instead of competing with others,” said Ella.

Meanwhile, the Kapamilya primetime princess believes that despite its new competition, TV viewers will still continue to support “Aryana” because of the upcoming heart-pounding scenes in the series. “I believe they’ll keep on following our story with the exciting challenges that Aryana will face in the coming weeks, especially now that her daddy Victor (Tonton Gutierrez) already accepted her as his daughter,” Ella shared.

With Victor’s acceptance and a budding friendship with her sister Megan (Michelle Vito), will Aryana’s life be filled with happiness?
