Biography |
Bea Alonzo (real name: Phylbert Angellie Ranollo Fagestrom)
is a Filipina actress. She was born on October 17, 1987. Her
father is British while her mother is Filipino. She is a
member of ABS-CBN's elite circle of homegrown talents
collectively known as "Star Magic".
Bea Alonzo had always dreamed of being in show business.
Growing up without a father since the age of four, Bea has
nonetheless managed to strike it out on her own.
She joined beauty contests at a very young age and she was
moderately successful in this endeavor. It was in a small
town beauty contest that she was discovered by famed
Filipino fashion designer Oscar Peralta who then brought her
to the attention of talent manager Archie Ilagan. The latter
presented Bea to the head of the ABS-CBN Talent Center
Johnny Manahan who inducted her into the Star Circle Batch
10. There she would be given a wide-range of acting lessons
which later helped her land a part in the teen-oriented
drama / comedy K2BU.
In 2003, at the age of 15, Bea would be cast as 20 year old
lawyer Katrina Argos in the TV drama Kay Tagal Kang
Hinintay. The role would garner her her first "Best Actress"
nomination at the 2003 PMPC Star Awards. She was the
youngest ever to be nominated in that category.
Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay paved the way for the John Lloyd and
Bea loveteam. After three successful teleseryes It Might Be
You, Ikaw Ang Lahat Sa Akin and currently Maging Sino Ka
Manand hit movies such as My First Romace (where Bea Alonzo
was named "Best New Movie Actress" at the 2004 PMPC Star
Awards), Now That I Have You, Close To You and the recent
All About Love, they are now known as one of the country's
premiere loveteam.
After All About Love, Bea's next movie project is a remake
of the classic Dolphy movie Pacifica Falapay. The movie
co-stars Vhong Navarro and it will be Bea's first foray into
big-screen feature-length comedies.
Although Bea has been paired with John Lloyd Cruz for
several years, she claims that there has been no real
romantic involvement between her and John Lloyd Cruz.
For quite a while, Alonzo was rumored to be dating Filipino
actor Mico Palanca, younger brother of Bernard Palanca, who
is also an actor. Both Palanca and Alonzo, however, have
recently confirmed this.
In 2005, Bea celebrated her 18th birthday. and she
commemorated the occasion with Bea's Wildest Dreams at 18:
Birthday TV Special. The show featured Bea and her best
friend Shaina Magdayao going on an adventure in Singapore.
And amid birthday greetings from fellow ABS-CBN talents, the
TV special showcased Bea's singing and dancing prowess as
well. |
