FILIPINO-British actress Bea Alonzo will explore new opportunities after signing a contract with GMA Network. Ms. Alonzo sealed the contract with the network on July 1.
Prior to joining GMA Network, Ms. Alonzo worked with beleaguered rival network ABS-CBN where she starred in primetime dramas and in ABS-CBN produced films such as One More Chance, The Mistress, A Second Chance, and Four Sisters and a Wedding.
The pandemic, Ms. Alonzo said, gave her the time to “think and reflect on the things about my life,” adding that she wants “to take on new possibilities and challenges.”
Ms. Alonzo said she looks forward to working exploring new projects such as hosting a talk show, guest starring at the network’s sitcoms, and working with Kapuso artists.
“I am beginning to rediscover myself again. I am going to make new friends. I am going to meet new people and collaborate with new people. That is such a huge blessing for someone like me who loves to do what I’m doing,” Ms. Alonzo said at an online press conference on July 1 held via Zoom and livestreamed through Facebook.
Ms. Alonzo is scheduled to film a movie with GMA Network contract star Alden Richards.
They will star in the Philippine adaptation of the Japanese television drama Pure Soul. The film is co-produced by Viva Films, GMA Pictures, and APT Entertainment.
“And this time I will be introduced to a totally new audience. And I just hope that magustuhan nila yung gagawin ko (I just hope the audiences will support what I work on),” she said. “My purpose is to really to touch lives and to do characters that will resonate with a lot of Filipinos.” — MAPS
