Is Zanjoe Marudo Transferring to GMA-7 To Become Marian Rivera's Leading Man in 'Amaya'?

It all started as a blind item, but in the famous fan forum website Pinoyexchange, netizens already named Zanjoe Marudo as the Kapamilya hunk actor who auditioned to be Marian Rivera's leading man in upcoming GMA-7 epicserye "Amaya".

In ABOUT SHOWBIZ column of Nitz Miralles in the previous issue of Pilipino Star Ngayon, she gave several clues which confusingly pertains to either Rafael Rossell or Zanjoe Marudo. To quote:

Baka hindi na isama si Will Devaughn dahil papasok siya sa Dwarfina bilang duwende na magkakagusto kay Dwarfina (Heart Evangelista). �Yung mga pangalan ng artistang nadinig naming makakasama ni Marian ay naiba na.

Ang sigurado pa lang na kasama sa cast ay unang nakilala sa ibang field na nag-switch sa acting and in fairness sa kanya, puwede siya sa drama at comedy.

Napapanood siya sa isang soap ng istasyon ngayon at may letter R sa name niya. Sige, manghula na kayo."

And in today's issue of the same tabloid, Nitz Miralles gave additional clues that made Rafael out of the choices. She wrote:

Naalala n�yo ba ang na-blind item naming Kapamilya actor na sabi�y lilipat daw sa GMA 7 at isang big project ang naghihintay sa kanya sa Channel 7? Kahit kami ay hindi naniwala sa posibilidad na maging Kapuso ang actor dahil hindi siya nawawalan ng show sa ABS-CBN.

Sabi ng isang kaibigan, kakikita lang niya sa actor sa ABS-CBN last week at mukhang at home na at home pa rin ito sa Kapamilya network, kaya malabong maging totoo ang tsika.

Pero narinig din namin na nagpa-set ng meeting sa papasok na linggo ang management ng actor sa GMA 7. Kung para saan ang meeting, hindi pa namin alam at aalamin namin.

But pexmantra and feistymomma, PEX members, gave clues that strongly pointed to Zanjoe.

1. Zanjoe MaRudo, also in Kristine (transferring to avoid Mariel Rodriguez?)

2. based sa description na nagcocomedy, halos 2 shows lang naman ang comedy sa ABS--BANANA SPLIT and M3..--and i think, Zanjoe fits the description na nagcocomedy at nagdadrama din.

3. he comes from another field--modelling.

kat_md, another pex member, has this to say:
