Meet the first-ever tween mermaid

MANILA, Philippines - Primetime TV’s first-ever tween mermaid is all set to make the biggest splash this summer as Aryana joins the ABS-CBN‘s primetime programs tonight. 

Topbilled by Ella Cruz, the fantasy tale features the adventures of a typical teenager named Aryana whose life makes a full twist on her 14th birthday as a dark curse turns her into a mermaid.

According to Ella, she is nervous and excited at the same time for the much-awaited premiere of her biggest break. “Viewers will love Aryana because this is a new tale of everyone’s well-loved character,” she said. “This time, they’ll see a modern teenager sirena. She’s a normal mortal in the beginning then she’ll become a mermaid because of a curse.”

Ella added that Kapamilya viewers will enjoy the ride with Aryana as she takes everyone to the challenging world of humans and the colorful paradise of the mermaids. “Aryana’s story is fit for all ages. It’s perfect for tweens like me and to kids, adults and parents alike since it carries different lessons on family, love, and environmental awareness,” she shared.

Also in Aryana are Pokwang, Tonton Gutierrez, Desiree del Valle, Laurice Guillen, Tetchie Agbayani, Giselle Toengi, Rustica Carpio, Lotlot de Leon, Bianca Manalo, Chokoleit, Michelle Vito, David Chua, Boom Labrusca, Marvin Yap, Louise Abuel and Paul Salas. It is directed by Erick Salud and Lino Cayetano.
