Bangs Garcia reunites with Zanjoe Marudo in 'Hiyas'

Bangs Garcia will be working again with Zanjoe Marudo on ABS-CBN's 'Precious Hearts Romances Presents: Hiyas'.

Bangs Garcia and Zanjoe already worked together in "PHR: Kristine" which wrapped up last month and the two had really hot love scenes there.

Not so sure though what's Bangs' role in the show coz Zanjoe's leading lady there is Megan Young.

Check out some pics taken on the set of "Hiyas":

"Hiyas" is part of Kapamilya Gold offerings and will be shown on weekday afternoons starting March 28.

Also in the cast are Noni Buencamino, Manuel Chua Jr, Neri Naig, Arnold Reyes, Brenna Peñaflor and many more.

On METRO January 2011 "Body" issue: Megan Young talks about joining Binibining Pilipinas and her break-up with Nico Salva

The ever beautiful Megan Young is on the cover of METRO Magazine "Body" issue this January 2011 with Eurasian model Benjamin Tang.

And Metro's interview with Megan reveals that she's a single lady now, still fresh from her break-up with cager Nico Salva of the Ateneo Blue Eagles.

The last time we saw the two in a major public event was when Nico escorted Megan during the Star Magic Ball 2010 last September.

But almost 4 months later, they broke up for a reason Megan did not disclose inside METRO. "I don't have one now" is all what she had to say when asked if she has a boyfriend.

Third party perhaps? On New Year's Day, I caught Megan posting this one on Twitter: "This 2011, I'm not gonna let anyone break my heart." (That says it all!)

METRO also took notice of Megan's much slimmer figure, which was probably caused by her breakup with Nico.

While Megan appears along with model Georgina Wilson in pageant fans' wishlist of who they want to see joining Binibining Pilipinas, the 20-year-old "Miss Universe material" has told METRO that she doesn't feel like joining the pageant...not yet.

"Everyone's been asking me that since I was 14. Sa akin lang, kailangan nasa puso. When it comes to things like the Bb. Pilipinas pageant, the whole country's involved. I won't do it unless I want to, and right now, I don't really feel like it."

Megan is only 20, so maybe after 3 years, she'll be ready to join the pageant.

And to those who wish to see Megan on a men's magazine cover, sorry guys 'coz she's totally not open to it. She's willing to pose in a lingerie only for a fashion magazine but not for a men's magazine.

"I think you can be sexy without taking your clothes off. I don't do men's magazines. It's just not my thing. If you make me wear lingerie in a fashion magazine, it's fine because the context is different."

Here are some scans of Megan and Benjamin in the magazine:

Dubbed as "The Body Issue", Metro Mag's January 2011 issue also features 5 male and 6 female celebrities with the most beautiful bodies. They include Chris Cayzer, Rayver Cruz, Bangs Garcia, Solenn Heussaff, Xian Lim, Bianca Manalo, Carmi Martin, Marc Nelson, Lovi Poe, Rafael Rosell and Tuesday Vargas.

The full official trailer of the Kapampangan comedy film "Astro Mayabang" is now up. Watch...


"Astro Mayabang" is showing on November 10-16 at EDSA Shangri-la Plaza Cineplex, as one of the Cinema One Originals for 2010.

It's directed by Jason Paul Laxamana and stars Arron Villaflor, Megan Young, Hermes Bautista, Marco Morales, Crystal Herrera and John Lapus.

Megan Young is a Miss Universe material

Megan Young was looking so much stunning and gorgeous at the Star Magic Ball 2010 held last night, September 5, 2010.

She's amazingly beautiful and even photographer Paul Cortes, who owns those pictures, was stunned by Megan's exceptional beauty last night. "Si Megan ang pinakamaganda sa kanilang lahat... Para syang international supermodel sa red carpet... hehe... :D," he said on Facebook.

I hope she could finally join Binibining Pilipinas in 2011 and then represent the country in the Miss Universe or in Miss World.

Megan actually expressed intention in joining the pageant last March but her busy schedule (as VJ on Channel V) didn't permit her so.

To BPCI, please get Megan Young!
