Bea Alonzo on the Spotlight
by Valerie Tort
A big familial responsibility Bea Alonzo managed to take charge of at the age of 14 robbed her opportunity to enjoy her normal teenage years.
“Noon I used to pray hard na sana maging stable din naman kami financially,” the stunning actress shared in an interview. Bea Alonzo took a giant leap that changed her life forever even if she was still on the brink to stardom.
“Maraming nabago sa buhay ko. I miss riding jeepneys. Bibihira ko na ring makalaro ang younger brother ko. These days, I only go home to sleep, sleep and eat. So we’re just satisfied with sending picture messages to each other,” Bea said.
“All my friends have just graduated and they’re starting to work, but now I’m working to study afterwards. Parang baliktad lang nang nangyayari sa kanila,” Bea added.
Bea wanted to be an actress ever since her childhood years. She even mimicked the kids while watching the youth oriented show Ang TV.
“I used to act and cry in front of the mirror. Now I just laugh when I remember those times,” Bea reminisced. Her prayer to help raise the family with financial support was answered when she was introduced to Director Johnny Manahan after joining a mini pageant in Pasig City. She grabbed the opportunity to enter the glitz, the glamour, and the intrigue of the entertainment world the moment her chance knocked on her door. Her mom was hesitant to let Bea enter showbiz because she was still studying.
“Ayaw niya talaga akong mag-showbiz. Nagdrama pa ako. I told her, Sige na this is my opportunity, kapag ma-miss ko to, wala na,” Bea Alonzo said.
She vowed to balance her acting career and the school workload. She even juggled her acting workshop and taping schedules with her school attendance.
Bea Alonzo’s showbiz debut was unveiled during the presentation of Star Circle Batch 10. “My first TV appearance was on ASAP during the launch. After that, it was ASAP every Sunday. A trio was also formed, with me, Angelene Aguilar and Pia Romero — we were supposed to be the new generation of underage stars. It didn’t click, so they came up with youth-oriented show K2BU with me, Angelene, Pia and Shaina (Magdayao). It ran for five months.”
The limelight never took away her innocent image but it infused the maturity of an adult. In her more or less five-year stay in showbiz, the entertainment industry’s giants transformed her instantly from a teenager to a young professional woman.
ABSCBN recently put Bea Alonzo on the spotlight portraying the role of Jacky Madrigal, the heiress of a bank owner and a businessman (Christopher de Leon) in the dramatic love and life conflicts in the teleserye Maging Sino Ka Man, which ended last May. It was one of the most top-rated soap operas in primetime television that featured the reel couple Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz along with the new love team of Anne Curtis and Sam Milby.
With the harsh spotlight aimed at her, she was still responsible enough to deal with every pressure and hardships life threw on her acting career. Bea Alonzo sees to it that she was informed in what her job needed, what it takes to land a particular role, and what she needed to improve to reach her dream of becoming a character actress.
“Actually, my dream is to be a character actress, not really ‘yung lead. For every role you do, with every taping, you learn something from your dialogue, along with your acting skills. Gusto ko kasing maraming matutuhan,” Bea Alonzo said.
“…destined ako mapunta sa showbiz. Dito ako nilinya ni God so kailangan na pagbutihan ko. I focus myself on my work. I keep in mind the best advice that somebody has given me: if you see a goal for yourself, go for it, give it your best,” the ABSCBN talent added.
To fulfill her dream of landing into more challenging roles and not limiting herself to a certain stereotype, Bea Alonzo struggled to shed the excess weight by squeezing workout sessions in her free time and dieting.
“Before, I tried eating less carbs and meat. I tried a special diet for a while, and then return to a sinful diet,” the 18-year old beauty confessed.
Bea’s success and stardom were the fruits of her laborious efforts and dedication to participate even in the minor roles the showbiz industry assigned to her. The stunning 5’7 actress resided her faith in God’s hands and let Him draw her destiny.
“I’m very patient. I’m not impulsive. I’m a Christian. Sometimes I do worry and get scared of thinking that I might lose projects at the same fast rate that I was getting them. I just pray, if ever He must have other plans for me. He put me here for a reason,” she said.
Her booming career will continue to teach and inspire us that nothing in this world is obtained easily. Bea Alonzo’s pretty face will remind us that it would involve numerous hardships, trials, and responsibilities in order to spell the word SUCCESS.
