Bea denies 'cooling off' with Zanjoe

MANILA – Actress Bea Alonzo has denied that there came a point when she and her boyfriend, actor Zanjoe Marudo, had to cool off. Alonzo made the statement after some people observed that she and Marudo have not seen each other for two months. In an interview with “Buzz ng Bayan,” the actress explained that she was busy working on her movie, "She's the One." “Hindi kami nag-cool off. Siguro akala lang nila because mayroong two months while I was doing ‘She’s the One,’ halos hindi kami nagkikita,” she said. “Ngayon na-realize ko, mas nag-work siya for both of us. Parang ngayon mas sweet kami sa isa’t isa kasi na-miss niya ako,” she added. Alonzo went on to stress that their relationship is not affected by her busy schedule, saying that she and Marudo trust each other. “Lagi ko ngang sinasabi na kung secure naman kayo sa relasyon niyo, walang selosan. He trusts me enough na alam niya na hindi ko siya lolokohin and ako din ganun sa kanya,” she said. Marudo, who has been in a relationship with Alonzo since March 2011, said they have come to accept their situation because they are both actors. "Natanggap na namin na kailangan natin magtrabaho. 'Anong gusto natin gawin? Huwag na magtrabaho tapos mag-enjoy?' Hindi naman pwedeng gano'n," Marudo said. "Darating din naman 'yung punto na magbe-break ka nang matagal, so do'n naman 'yung time na pwede siguro i-enjoy ang isa't-isa," he added.

Kris, Kim, Bea join forces to help quake victims

MANILA -- Host-actress Kris Aquino gave donations to the Philippine Red Cross (PRC) last Friday to help earthquake victims in Cebu and Bohol. In an episode of her morning show, "Kris TV," aired on Monday, Aquino personally gave her donation to PRC secretary general Gwendolyn Pang. "I decided to give proceeds from the three-day Kris Aquino Sale," she said. Addressing people who criticize her for publicizing her charity work, Aquino said: "People were asking me if you are helping, why do you have to publicize it? Parang gusto ko sabihin, 'you have talaga to encourage other people.' "Parang kailangan mong iparamdam that there are people who care, hindi 'yung kumportable ka, kumportable ang mga anak mo ay okay na. Importante talaga na mayroon kang malasakit kasi you don't know the time will come na ikaw naman 'yung nagsa-suffer and how would you feel if nobody cared about you," she explained. According to Aquino, her close friend, actress Kim Chiu, will also help in rebuilding century-old churches in quake-hit areas. "I was getting a lot of feedback na tinatanong niyo sa akin. Ang nababasa ko naman na, 'what about Chinita Princess na si Kim Chiu?' Kim and I are talking last night and she said, 'Ate kung ikaw toka niyo ni Bea ngayon ang Red Cross, toka ko ang simbahan.' Kasi nakapunta na ang 'Kris TV' doon sa [Bohol] they are so welcoming and so nice, so sabi ko kailangan mayroon tayong gawin talaga," she said. Following the successful premiere of her newest film, "She's The One," actress Bea Alonzo also gave donations to the PRC to help victims of the recent earthquake in central Visayas. "Parang it's all about setting an example. If you are blessed, you share it," Alonzo said.

Bea Alonzo shares what she learned from Dingdong Dantes while working on ‘She’s the One’

Bea Alonzo said that working with Dingdong Dantes on She’s the One has taught her essential lessons when it comes to her craft. “Humbling for me na makatrabaho siya because nga he’s here for the longest time, longer than nandito ako sa business na ‘to and you could sense na hindi nga dinadala sa ulo niya. Alam mo na alam niya na this is temporary, this is not forever, na he tries to improve himself all the time, ‘yon ‘yung natutunan ko sa kanya na huwag paparatingin sa ulo and everyday nagpro-promise ka sa sarili mo na i-improve mo ‘yung sarili mo,” she said. On her favorite scene with Dingdong in the movie and the scene that she’s most proud of, Bea shared that it would be the ice cream scene. “’Yung favorite ko ‘yung ice cream scene because sa maliit na eksena ‘yun, hindi namin kailangan mag flashback and it’s because ang dami niyang sinabi and it’s not something na siguro na ii-expect mo na maraming nasasabi. It’s not a dramatic scene, it’s very light, its very simple pero parang siguro sa dalawang artista na magkukuwento sa kanilang actions and how they stare at each other, siguro mahirap siya because papano mo sasabihin sa audience mo na mahal na mahal mong taong ito without telling him that you love him, sa actions lang so ‘yun siguro, ‘yun ‘yung proud ako.” Bea admitted that she could somewhat relate to her character in She’s the One when it comes to being the breadwinner of the family. “Malapit siguro ‘yung character ko sa akin, unang-una ‘yun bang part na she lost her youth parang ganon din ako kasi I have to work early. Pangalawa siguro ‘yung pagiging independent,” she stated. Is she feeling any pressure now? “Sobra, every time na ipro-promote ko ‘to. But siguro ‘yung pressure mas lamang ‘yung excitement. Excited ako na mapanood ninyo at excited akong mapanood ang movie sa big screen kasi meron akong mga eksena na na-skip ko, na ayaw ni direk ipanood sa akin ‘yung mga scene nila Dong, ayaw nilang ipapanood sa akin para matawa ako or ma-touch ako, so ‘yun I’m excited to watch it so you should be excited to watch it too,” she said.

Enrique-Bea kiss not originally part of story

MANILA – Enrique Gil was not expecting to be doing a kissing scene with Bea Alonzo for their movie “She’s The One” as it was not originally part of the story. That's why Gil admitted he felt nervous when he read the script and found out that he will be doing a kissing scene with the actress. “Nung una kasi sabi wala naman daw. Nung nabasa ko 'yung script, hindi ko alam 'yung pakiramdam ko. Hindi ko ma-explain. Naisip ko na lang na sana magawa ko ng maayos,” he said, blushing, during the press conference for the Star Cinema-produced film on Monday night. The actor said he’s just thankful that he did his first “solid kissing scene” with Alonzo, who is one of the best actresses of the current generation. “Sobrang bait ni Bea, sobrang maalaga. First kissing scene ko na solid, ako pa 'yung pinapawisan, si Bea wala lang. Okay naman dahil napakagaling ni Bea. Artistang artista,” he said. Asked if he got carried away with the scene, Gil coyly answered: “Oo naman. Oo na 'yun.” “Sobrang saya po. Never ko na-imagine na makakasama sa pelikula sina Dingdong (Dantes) and Bea. Before excitement, it was really pressure din talaga kasi kailangan ibigay mo rin your best,” he added. Alonzo, for her part, said she just acted professionally about the scene so that Gil will not feel uncomfortable. “Kung ano 'yung regular na ginagawa ko kapag may ganung eksena na professional lang 'yung atmosphere, ganun lang. Siyempre I’d always tell him na ‘Okay lang, hindi ako nao-offend. It’s part of the job.’ Nabasa naman sa script. I knew na kailangan gawin 'yun, I knew na it’s going to happen,” she said. Alonzo also admitted that she was initially worried to be working with Dantes and Gil in the movie since it is her first time to be working with them. “Sabi ko paano ito, 'yung dalawang actors hindi ko pa sila nakakatrabaho? Sabi ko paano magkakaroon ng instant chemistry? I don’t even know them personally. Tapos sabi ni direk, ‘Alam mo once sinabi sa akin ni Ma’am Charo na 'yung pagiging in love is also a feeling just like when you’re sad or happy. Being in love is a feeling.’ Magaling kang artista kung kaya mong i-convey na in love ka sa isang tao kahit hindi,” she said. The romantic-comedy film is among Star Cinema's big-screen offerings in celebration of its 20th anniversary. Joining Alonzo, Dantes and Gil in "She's the One" are Maricar Reyes, Guji Lorenzana, Coleen Garcia, Daniel Matsunaga Erika Padilla, Marc Solis, RS Francisco and Garlic Garcia.

Busy Bea, Zanjoe lack time for each other

MANILA – Bea Alonzo and her boyfriend, actor Zanjoe Marudo, didn’t get to see each other for months because of their hectic schedules. Both prized talents of ABS-CBN, Marudo currently stars in primetime series "Annaliza," in addition to being a mainstay on the late-night gag show "Banana Split," while Alonzo is working on her upcoming movie “She's the One." In an interview with ABS-CBN News at the sidelines of the press conference of the Star Cinema movie on Monday night, Alonzo said: “Parang dalawang buwan na kaming hindi nagkikita. Tapos pareho pa kaming hindi ma-call or ma-text.” Marudo admitted in a separate interview last September that this was the cause of a recent argument between the celebrity couple. But on Monday, Alonzo was quick to add that they were able to surpass that challenge. “Ganun talaga, naiintindihan naman namin ang isa’t isa. It’s really the trust na nagpapa-work sa relationship,” she said. Marudo, who has been in a relationship with Alonzo since March 2011, said they have come to accept their situation. "Natanggap na namin na kailangan natin magtrabaho. 'Anong gusto natin gawin? Huwag na magtrabaho tapos mag-enjoy?' Hindi naman pwedeng gano'n," Marudo said. "Darating din naman 'yung punto na magbe-break ka nang matagal, so do'n naman 'yung time na pwede siguro i-enjoy ang isa't-isa," he added.

Enrique in 'triangle' with Bea, Dingdong in new film

MANILA -- Enrique Gil said he could not believe that his new big-screen project not only marks his first lead role in a romance film but also features him with box-office stars Bea Alonzo and Dingdong Dantes. A relative neophyte compared to his co-stars in "She's the One," Gil said he felt nervous about headlining a film with established actors. At 21, Gil is also younger than Alonzo by three years, and Dantes by 12 years. "Noong unang sinabi sa akin na makaka-triangle ko sina Bea at si Dingdong, 'What?' Sabi ko, 'Grabe 'to!' Sabi ko, 'Wow, teka lang!'" Gil said during a recent press conference for his ongoing TV series "Muling Buksan ang Puso," which will air its final episode on Friday. Gil said he was particularly nervous about working with Alonzo, who, despite being a fellow Star Magic talent, has been mostly an acquaintance to him. "Actually kahit papaano -- noong una talaga kinakabahan ako -- when I got to the set, nakausap ko si Bea. There's something about her na hindi ka maiilang sa mga eksena," he recalled. "It's the way she talks to you, she approaches you. Parang... Bea Alonzo, walang ilang factor lang sa akin. Kaya siguro, swerte lang ako," he said. As for Dantes, Gil shared they are, in fact, second cousins, "so mas at ease actually." Having already filmed several scenes with Alonzo and Dantes, Gil said he has become more comfortable with his co-stars, "pero syempre 'yung mga eksena, dapat bigay-todo pag kasama si Ms. Bea Alonzo." Love triangle In the first trailer for "She's the One," Gil's character is seen as a love interest to Cat (Alonzo), who has a complicated relationship with her best friend Joaqui (Dantes). In an apparent reunion with a group of friends, Cat and Joaqui's past is brought up with the mention of "tonsil hockey." The pair then proceeds to argue who kissed who at the time. While the two remain friends, Cat is seen forming a close relationship Gil's character. This appears to motivate Joaqui to show his true feelings for his best friend. Directed by Mae Cruz ("24/7 In Love," "Catch Me... I'm in Love") and written by Vanessa Valdez ("Four Sisters and a Wedding," "The Mistress"), "She's the One" will hit theaters nationwide on October 16. The film, which is among producer Star Cinema's 20th anniversary offerings, also marks the first team-up of Alonzo and Dantes. It is also the GMA-7 actor's third ABS-CBN movie after "Segunda Mano" and "One More Try." "She's the One" also stars Maricar Reyes, Liza Soberano, Tony Mabesa, Perla Bautista, Pinky Amador, Guji Lorenzana, RS Francisco, Marc Solis, Erika Padilla, Garlic Garcia, Daniel Matsunaga, LJ Reyes and Coleen Garcia.

Bea: Mico Palanca was a 'bad boyfriend to me'

MANILA -- "I'm not saying that he's a bad person. He was a bad boyfriend to me." This was Bea Alonzo's candid sharing about her former boyfriend, actor Mico Palanca, in her interview published in YES! magazine's July 2013 issue. Five years after their break-up in 2008, the 25-year-old actress openly recalled why their relationship "had to end," enumerating numerous incompatibilities between them. The couple started getting acquainted when they co-starred in the 2002 series "K2BU," and later the primetime series "It Might Be You," which aired the following year. "Four years niya ako niligawan. Awa ng Diyos hindi rin naman siya nag-work," Alonzo said, pointing to their 10-year age gap as among the reasons. Age gap At the time Palanca started courting her, the teenaged Alonzo was only starting to establish herself as an actress. Her suitor, in contrast, wasn't particularly passionate with the craft, according to Alonzo. "Hindi talaga kami magkaintindihan. He was so much older than I was, so iba 'yung priorities niya. Iba siya magtrato. Ayoko naman kasing magsalita nang masama tungkol sa kanya, but it wasn't a good relationship. "Like, iba siya towards work, iba ako twoards work. Ako, passion ko 'to. Siya, he wants it for the money. So hindi niya ko naiintindihan," she said. Coming off the success of her team-up with John Lloyd Cruz in "Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay" in 2002, Alonzo hit a stride in her career to become one of the most sought after leading ladies of her generation. But Palanca, according the actress, didn't seem proud of her achievements even as they became a couple. "Everytime I felt na may na-aachieve ako, I should be proud of it, parang... Ayokong magsalita ng... Gusto ko 'yong pamilya niya. But 'yon, parang feeling ko, hindi ako naggo-grow as a person. "Parang na-achieve ko 'to, 'I should be proud of this, pero bakit hindi ka masaya for me?' Or parang ano, hindi niya 'ko pwedeng panoorin sa successes ko, kasi hindi pa siya nagsa-succeed? Parang gano'n," she said. 'Nosebleed' Aside from her their apparent mismatch in terms of career, Alonzo said she often felt out of place in Palanca's "world" -- which she also referred to as a reason why their relationship couldn't seem to work. She also recalled being particularly bothered that she couldn't get along with his friends, and him with hers. "Madami kaming issues, madami. We'd always drink, 'yong mga ganyan, and it wasn't my world. Like, I don't like to go out. Tapos iba 'yong friends niya. "Like ito, ha, when you're in a relationship -- I don't like to compare, pero 'yong friends ni Z, friends ko lahat, and they reached out para maging friends ko. So parang feeling ko, ito 'yong normal na relationship," Alonzo said, referring to her current boyfriend, actor Zanjoe Marudo. She added: "Back then 'yong friends niya (Palanca), hindi ko friends. Iyong, they are just my friends because I was with him. It's not like, 'Lalabas tayo without him.' 'Yong ganon. Tapos, he didn't want to be friends with my friends kasi he thought na parang, 'Ay, mga bata 'yan, mga...' Saka hindi sila kasing sosyal, 'yong mga friends ko, 'yong mga ganon." Alonzo laughed when the term "nosebleed" was brought up, admitting she wasn't used to conversing in English as much as Palanca was with his group of friends. "Ay talaga, nosebleed ako sa lahat ng mga ano nila! Kaya siguro hindi rin sila mayadong nagri-reachout sa akin, kasi nosebeled talaga ako sa mundo nila," she said. Insecurities Although the actress recalled Palanca's family always treating her kindly, she admitted to be left wanting in terms of her boyfriend's attention. At the time, Alonzo said she was dealing with many insecurities, and somehow didn't find the much-needed encouragement from her own boyfriend. "Baka kailangan niya ng mas pasensiyosang babae or something. Baka I loved myself more at that point. I needed to love myself more kasi, alam mo, totoo no'ng time na 'yon, I didn't think I was pretty. Iniisip ko, ang taba ko. Ang dami kong insecurities, 'yong mga gano'n. "Eventually no'ng nakawala na 'ko doon sa mga ganong pag-iisip, ang mali ko lang, mali lang 'yong man na minahal ko,'" she said. Recounting all the issues in their relationship, Alonzo said, "That's why it had to end.

Bea: Zanjoe brings out the better side of me

MANILA – Actress Bea Alonzo admitted that being with actor Zanjoe Marudo for over two years changed her as a person. Prior to meeting Marudo, Alonzo said her normal routine would just be work and home. But because of Marudo, she has become an outgoing person. The actress said her mother also appreciates these changes. “Natutuwa rin ako kasi marami siyang nabago sa akin. Ang nanay ko nagpapasalamat sa kanya kasi dati na hindi pa siya dumarating sa buhay ko, laging ang buhay ko lang sa trabaho at tsaka sa bahay. Parang natutuwa ‘yung nanay ko na nagkaroon ako ng mga kaibigan, na lumalabas na ako, na hindi ko na ina-isolate ang sarili ko sa loob ng bahay,” she said. Alonzo credited Marudo for bringing out the better side of her in dealing with other people. This, however, does not mean to say that they do not encounter problems as well. “Siyempre we have our rough roads also and we’re like a typical couple na nag-aaway. I’m just happy na ‘yung pinag-aawayan namin hindi siya big deal,” she said. The actress said she is fortunate to have a boyfriend with whom she can just be herself. But the actress has her own take when it comes to accepting acting projects with Marudo. “Actually hindi namin priority. Gusto sana namin kasi magkatrabaho. Pero ako siyempre magkatrabaho kayo like sa soap opera ng mahaba so ang hirap niyo ng paghiwalayin. So it’s better na he has his own job and I have mine so parang pag magkikita kami we have stories to tell,” she said. The celebrity couple have been together since March 16, 2011.

Nakakatuwa na 'yung ginawa niya, talagang makakapagpasaya sa akin. Ito ang hilig ko talaga, maglaro ng golf,” he said. Asked whether Alonzo also gave her hand in marriage as a gift to Marudo, the actress said: “Bakit ba sila nagmamadali? Nagsasawa na ba sila sa amin? Hindi, matagal pa iyon.” “Gusto muna namin i-enjoy ang stage na ito kasi hindi mo na ito mababalikan kapag naging mag-asawa na kayo, 'di ba?” she said.

MANILA – Actor Zanjoe Marudo admitted he was not affected even after his girlfriend, actress Bea Alonzo, bared details about her past relationship with actor Gerald Anderson. In an exclusive interview with Yes! Magazine for its July 2013 issue, Alonzo for the first time talked about her short-lived romance with Anderson, describing it as a "roller-coaster ride."

MANILA – After playing a gay role in the Star Cinema anniversary offering “24/7 in Love” last year, Zanjoe Marudo admitted he never expected to play another gay role. Marudo is the lead star of the upcoming Star Cinema movie "Bromance: My Brother's Romance" where he has a dual role -- one, a straight "macho" man, and the other, a cross-dressing male. “Hindi ko naman alam na mabibigyan ako ng ganung role as a full-length film. Kaya naman namin ginawa kasi isa siyang maliit na episode (sa '24/7 in Love'), puwede naman magbading tapos si Bea (Alonzo) 'yung partner ko. Hindi ko nga akalain na magkakaroon ng seryosong pelikula na gagampanan ko ng buo mula simula hanggang matapos,” he said. Marudo said knowing that his girlfriend Bea Alonzo supports his project helped him in his performance. “Gusto niya talaga panuorin. Natutuwa naman siya. Kahit para sa premiere excited siya, nagpaalam na siya sa akin kung puwede ba siyang nandoon. Sabi ko, 'Oo naman. Sana nandun ka.' Si Bea kasi mababaw 'yung tawa niya eh, konting kilos ko lang tawa na siya ng tawa. Ayun at saka excited siya at saka gusto nga niya pumunta sa first day pa lang mapanuod na niya 'yung pelikula,” he revealed.

Marudo said Alonzo was even one of his inspirations while doing the film. “Ginagaya ko 'yung pagpa-pout niya ng labi kasi nga napansin ko halos lahat ng mga pictures niya sa mga magazine, laging naka-pout yung labi niya. So 'yun 'yung naging peg ko,” he said. Going strong According to Marudo, his relationship with Alonzo remains strong even if they are both busy with their respective work schedules. “Sa ngayon kailangan namin magtiyaga, magtiis sa ngayon. Kasi kahit na natapos 'yung pelikula may mga promo siya so marami pang schedule so tiis-tiis muna kami na konting time lang kung magkikita kami,” he said. Asked if they are already talking about getting married, Marudo said: “Ah bata pa, ayoko pang pangunahan 'yung mga ganyan kasi bata pa si Bea. Marami pa siyang gagawin and marami pang puwedeng mangyari at saka ako naman looking forward naman ako na sa magandang future kasama si Bea.” While they are not planning to settle down any time soon, Marudo said he is hoping to end up with Alonzo. “Oo, wala naman akong ibang iniisip, wala na akong ibang pinagdadasal kundi yun, na si Bea na 'yung makasama ko. And sana ganun din 'yung mangyari, pero hindi pa naman natin masasabi, bata pa siya at saka marami pang puwedeng mangyari. Pero sana di ba magkatotoo yun,” he said. The two Kapamilya talents have been a couple for over a year now
