For a change, sa ibang bansa magse-celebrate ang aktres na si Bea Alonzo kasama ang kanyang pamilya ngayong Pasko at Bagong Taon.
“Very different,” ani Bea tungkol sa gagawin niyang celebration ngayong Pasko.
Pagri-reveal pa niya, “I’m going to Spain with my family. So, madadala ko na rin ‘yung mga pamangkin ko. First time nilang pupunta sa Spain, my brother and my sister-in-law.
“But with my mom, kasi nu’ng housewarming pa lang, nandu’n s’ya. But we’re also spending Christmas in Andorra. So, white Christmas. Excited!
“And then, I’ll be going to London with my best friend. Pero iwan ko na ang family ko du’n. It will be different because ‘yun nga, first time naming magpa-Pasko sa ibang bansa ng pamilya ko.
“Normally, dito (sa ‘Pinas nagpa-Pasko), tapos aalis kami pagkatapos ng Pasko. So, Noche Buena lagi rito. But, uh, first time ‘yung Noche Buena sa ibang bansa. Tapos snow pa, malamig.”
Nakausap namin si Bea sa launch niya as the new endorser ng sikat na jewelry store na My Diamond sa SM Aura. Tanda pa ni Bea ang first diamond rings niya na malalaki ang bato.
“Medyo malaki na binili ng mama ko (na diamond ring). Binili n’ya nu’ng I think, after ng One More Chance (movie niya with John Lloyd Cruz).
“Kasi it came a big hit and my mom wanted to give me something na talagang very special na ‘pag binalikan ko ‘yung memory noon, ‘pag nakita ko ‘yung jewelry na ‘yun, may memory na bumabalik sa utak.
“Also recently, I went to uhm, I went to Spain to get my residency card. And then, pagbalik ko, kumuha ako ng necklace na may naka-engrave na ‘primero yo.’”
Ang ibig daw sabihin ng ‘primero yo’ ay ‘Myself first’.
“Lagi akong may ganoon sa jewelry. Kasi ‘yung jewelry, timeless s’ya. So, paulit-ulit mo s’yang naisusuot. And uh, investment pieces talaga,” sabi ni Bea.
Dagdag pa niya, “So, I love fashion. I love collecting bags, collecting shoes and phones. But ‘pag ako tinanong, laging nauuna ‘yung jewelry. If I were to invest in like, special pieces I would always pick to invest in jewelry.”
Siyempre, very happy si Bea bilang bagong endorser ng My Diamond.
“And I am, actually, happy to be representing a brand that promotes sustainability. Because I’m always about sustainability and ‘yun nga, responsible and ethical sourcing.
“And, right now, parang nag-dinner ako with the owners and I have seen them as very good people. And masarap magtrabaho sa mga tao behind the brand na alam mong mabubuting tao,” diin ni Bea.
Bago si Bea ay naging endorsers din ng My Diamond sina Anne Curtis at Jinkee Pacquiao.
“Nakita ko nga big names,” bulalas ni Bea.
Aniya pa, “I’m just really happy that they considered me to be the new endorser. Para ihilera sa list of endorsers na ‘yun, it feels good.”
Hindi naman itinago ni Bea ang kanyang dream jewelry.
Sey niya, “‘Yung isinuot ko doon sa shoot (para sa My Diamond),” sabay tawa. “Ang laki nu’ng ring. I think, parang 5 karats. Dream, so, kailangan ko pang mag-work.”
Anyway, hindi pa man tapos ang 2024 ay nakalatag na ang mga gagawin ni Bea for next year. Pero bago umalis si Bea ay tatapusin muna niya ang taping para sa Widows’ War (WW) na ipapalabas sa GMA-7 next year.
“But uh, I’m very excited about that. And uh, meron din akong projects next year. So, I have one movie and one series for streaming (HBO).
“Yeah, it will be a busy year. Siyempre, another teleserye with GMA-7 next year. But sabi ko nga, busy is always good,” nakangiting sabi ni Bea.
Marami pa raw aabangan sa WW.
“Malapit na ‘yung mga revelations, kung sino ang pumatay since it’s a mystery-drama. Malapit nang ma-unravel kung sino ‘yung may kagagawan ng lahat ng patayan. So, exciting. Exciting episodes,” tsika pa ni Bea Alonzo.
