John Lloyd, Bea talk about upcoming movie

Bankable love team John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo are set to conquer the silver screen once again two years after their last movie together.

In an interview with ABS-CBN News on Wednesday, Cruz said he is looking forward to shooting his reunion movie with Alonzo because both of them have already grown up as actors.

“Sobrang excited ako kung paano magiging batuhan namin ni Bea sa mga eksena kasi iba na si Bea ngayon, iba na rin ako,” said Cruz.

Alonzo, on the other hand, seems surprised that she and Cruz have been an on-screen couple for 10 years already.

“Ten years na pala kami no? I'm so excited [and] at the same time challenged. With John Lloyd, you always need to be on your toes,” she said.

Alonzo added, “It’s always refreshing to work with John Lloyd.”

Meanwhile, both stars hinted on what their new film will be like.

“Kumbaga, ibang-iba ang mga characters namin dito, malalim at medyo sensitive. Masasabi ng ibang tao, kontrobersyal ito,” said Cruz.

“Tinatalakay nito ang infidelity kaya talagang pag-uusapan ito ng mga tao,” Alonzo added.

The movie, titled "The Mistress," will be under the direction of Olivia M. Lamasan.

Aside from their upcoming movie, Cruz and Alonzo are also excited to share to their fans their upcoming television series.

“Nasa planning stage na kami, then in a few weeks, pupunta kami ng Vienna, Austria para i-shoot ‘yung pilot week namin,” said Alonzo.

The two celebrities will also be part of a star-studded movie in celebration of Star Magic’s 20th anniversary.

Bea Alonzo Remains Kapamilya

Bea Alonzo is still a Kapamilya as she renewed her contract with ABS-CBN on Wednesday.

Alonzo, a Star Magic artist, signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with ABS-CBN.

She said part of her contract is a reunion project with actor John Lloyd Cruz and a movie with hunk actor Derek Ramsay.

"I'm still a Kapamilya at gagawa ako ng soap with John Lloyd and magsta-start kami by February. Magpu-push pa rin ang movie kaso si Derek may injury. [We're supposed to] start ng mid-January but because of the injury [baka ma-delay]. Sana maging okay na siya," Alonzo said.

Alonzo admitted that there were offers for her to move to another network, but she is happy that she decided to remain a Kapamilya star.

"Siyempre mayroong ganon (offers). We worked it out and I'm happy I'm here," she said.

Present during the contract signing were ABS-CBN executives Johnny Manahan, Linggit Tan, Cory Vidanes and president Charo Santos Concio.

Life with Zanjoe

Meanwhile, Alonzo also addressed the issue that her boyfriend, actor Zanjoe Marudo, gave her a ring.

"Hindi. Binili ko ito for myself noong 'Magkaribal' days pa, mayroon nga itong earrings kaso nawala na," she said while holding the ring.

The actress then said that she has learned a lot from her relationship with Marudo.

"Let's just say na siya ang nakapag-open sa akin sa lahat ng tao. Ngayon, nagre-reply na ako nang mas madalas. Kasi pinapaliwanag niya sa akin na minsan ang tao kailangan ng reply, or they'll feel bad. So ngayon, mas sumasagot na ako," she said.

Prince of Comedy Vic Sotto expressed his gratitude to actress Bea Alonzo for working with him in a comedy film.

Alonzo, who usually does dramas, is the newest big screen leading lady of Sotto in the family-comedy movie "Pak! Pak! My Dr. Kwak!" under Star Cinema and M-Zet Production, Inc.

"Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity. It was my pleasure to work with you. Thank you for all the bonding moments and all the kuwentuhans," said Sotto, who's considered to be the all-time box office king.

The actor also praised Alonzo as a good actress and hopes that they could do a project again.

"Thank you for laughing with us. You are a good actress and hoping to work with you again," Sotto added.

In a separate interview, Alonzo also thanked Sotto saying that she had a great time working with him.

"I had a blast. Talagang hindi ko makakalimutan sa buhay ko ang pakikipag-trabaho sa kanila," said Alonzo adding, "Nami-miss ko na sila agad. May senti mode. Ito kasi ang mga taong hindi ko nakikita lagi sa hallway ng ABS-CBN, alam mo 'yon? Iba ang kultura, iba ang experience, plus most of them are all comedians. So walang dull moment sa set at mami-miss ko ang dinner namin sa set na almost every day."

Alonzo said that it's her first comedy film and first project with Sotto.

"First ko ito, pero papalakpakan dito sila bossing Vic at ang mga bata, sila Xyriel (Manabat), Zaijan (Jaranilla), sila Jose. Ako, hindi siguro," Alonzo said.

Alonzo, on the other hand, said it was a dream come true for her to finally work with the veteran actor, who will reportedly play a fake doctor in the film.

The actress and the Prince of Comedy recently had their last shooting day in Tanay, Rizal.

The film, directed by Tony Reyes, will hit theaters on April 23.

It's work first, then Study After for Bea Alonzo

Actress Bea Alonzo reveals she had to work hard at her craft so she could have enough money to help her family and maybe even earn a diploma.

In a taped interview for "The Buzz", Alonzo said she still wants to get a degree despite earning good money from showbiz.

"In the future, not now. I've always told everyone na baligtad lang ang process dito. Ang mga estudyante they are studying to be able to work in the future. Ako, I'm working to be able to study in the future kasi walang magpapaaral sa akin. So uunahin ko muna ang work bago ang studies," Alonzo said.

The actress, who skyrocketed to fame through her onscreen love team with John Lloyd Cruz, said she learned to be independent because she grew up living in different places without her mother.

"Kasi hindi ako nakatira sa mom ko. Hindi ako nakatira sa iisang bahay growing up, palipat-lipat. Kaya nasanay akong makisama at huwag i-bother ang mga kasama mo," she said.

Having a good work ethic also helped boost her career. The former "Betty La Fea" star said working at an early age is one of the reasons why she became more mature as an actress.

"At an early age masyadong malaking responsibilidad ang naibigay sa akin, yung tipong hindi ka pwedeng mapagod, hindi ka pwedeng magreklamo, parang nasanay. Magandang training din para sa akin," she said.

Now, after years of working hard, Alonzo shared that she pampered herself by getting her dream -- a condominium unit.

She also had a new mantra, which is to enjoy life.

"Kung dati masyadong careful ngayon siguro I try to enjoy life more. I try not to be careful but at the same time not naman reckless but not too careful kasi parang nami-miss ko na ang magagandang bagay sa buhay," she said

Alonzo is gearing up for her TV series "Guns and Roses" with Robin Padilla and shooting a movie with Prince of Comedy Vic Sotto.

Bea Alonzo Signs 4-movie Contract With Star Cinema

Actress Bea Alonzo signed up for 4 more movies under ABS-CBN's movie outfit Star Cinema.

In an interview during the contract signing at the ABS-CBN compound, Alonzo said she's excited to shoot new films after her previous successful movie projects under Star Cinema.

"Ito ay 4 pictures para sa Star Cinema. Masaya kasi apat na pelikula ulit ang gagawin ko. Parang dito na ako lumaki. Almost every year ginagawa natin ito. Naging tradition na. And now I'm really happy and excited sa next projects na gagawin ko with them," Alonzo told reporters.

Alonzo said that included in the 4-film deal is her movie with the Prince of Comedy, Vic Sotto and a film with Angel Locsin and suitor Zanjoe Marudo.

"Gagawa ako ng pelikula with Angel Locsin, 'yung 'Maalaala Mo Kaya, The Movie' right after this one (with Vic). (Doon sa movie with Angel) kasama din si Zanjoe," Alonzo bared.

Alonzo added that it's an honor for her to star in a movie for "Maalaala Mo Kaya"'s 20th anniversary.

"It's such a big project at noong narinig ko, napatalon ako sa sobrang tuwa. Masaya ako. Ang daming blessings na natanggap ko ngayon na every morning tuwing gigising ako, may drive talaga kasi ang daming proyekto, ang daming positive energy. Lahat ng nakapaligid sa iyo masasaya at mabubuting tao," she said.

The actress also said that she's also thrilled to work with Locsin for the first time.

"Siyempre first time kong makakatrabaho si Ms. Angel Locsin so masaya. Masaya ako kasi hindi palagi na nakakatrabaho ko ang ka-genre ko, 'yung parehas ko ng ginagawa. 'Yung last person na nakatrabaho ko na halos kasing edad ko was Anne Curtis for 'Maging Sino Ka Man.' So ngayon, ibang timpla ang pelikula. Kakaiba at napakaganda ng istorya," Alonzo said.

She also said that she's set to do a film with longtime on-screen partner John Lloyd Cruz to be directed by Olivia Lamasan.

Present during the signing of Alonzo's contract were ABS-CBN’s executives Malou Santos and Johnny Manahan.

 

On Zanjoe

Alonzo, who's also controversial when it comes to love, shared that she and Marudo go out on dates.

The actress tried not to talk about Marudo but stressed that what is important now is that they are happy with each other.

"Oo, dating. Alam mo, we don't want to talk about kung nasaan, anong estado. Right now we are happy being with each other, 'yung company ng bawat isa. At it's very fun to hang out with him," she said.

Alonzo admitted that she misses spending time with the actor whom she described as a "blessing" now that they are both busy fulfilling their showbiz commitments.

"Oo naman, lalo na kapag may kasama ka halos araw-araw o madalas lalo na kapag naputol 'yon. Siya naman 'yong taong kamiss-miss naman. Siya ang taong gusto mong laging kasama kasi mabait siya at nakakatawa siya," she said.

She stressed that right now she can't commit to Marudo since she's not yet ready.

"It's just that right now parang it's hard to commit. It's hard kasi marami akong ginagawa. It's hard na sasabihin ko sa tao na 'This is what I want to offer you' lalo na at hindi mo matutupad kasi nga you have a lot of things to do, marami kang responsibilidad. So halimbawa, kung may available akong time and I went to spend time with him and vice versa, 'yun na ang ginagawa namin.

Currently, Alonzo is busy shooting her film with Sotto and a television series titled "Guns and Roses" with Robin Padilla.

Anne, Bea, Angel, KC All In One Project Together

For the first time ever, ABS-CBN contract stars Angel Locsin, KC Concepcion, Anne Curtis and Bea Alonzo have joined forces to do a special project.

"It was a pictorial that we shot altogether. Ang galing ni [photographer] Mark Nicdao napagsama-sama niya kaming lahat. Ito ay [coffee table book]," Curtis said during a press conference for a television series called “Green Rose”

Curtis, who is hosting "Showtime," said she hopes that all of them can appear in one television project in the future.

"Sana magka-show kaming lahat. Pero ang ginagawa ng ABS-CBN ay hinahati-hati kaming lahat, kasi alangan namang nasa isang show kaming lahat. At least lahat may isang teleserye or show. Kasi kung nasa isang show kami baka hindi na kami mabigyan ng ibang shows. Pero sana, kahit guesting or something, ay magkasama kaming lahat," she said.

Curtis is also promoting her movie, "Who's That Girl?," while Locsin is doing "Imortal" alongside John Lloyd Cruz.

Concepcion is hosting "The Buzz." She is also set to do a movie with Sam Milby. Bea Alonzo is paired with Robin Padilla in ABS-CBN TV series "Guns and Roses."

Bea Comfortable Working With Robin

Drama actress Bea Alonzo said she is now comfortable working with action star Robin Padilla.

In an interview with “Showbiz News Ngayon” on Thursday, Alonzo, who earlier admitted that she is nervous to be paired with Padilla, revealed she is not anymore anxious on doing scenes with the latter.

“Hindi na ako intimidated sa kanya. I’m really really comfortable now. Mapagbiro rin pala siya. Hindi pala siya ganoon kaseryosong tao. Nakakabiruan ko rin siya,” she said.

Alonzo also came to the defense of Padilla’s wife, Mariel Rodriguez, who was reported to be guarding her husband during their tapings.

“Hindi ko pa naman siya nakikita [sa tapings],” she stated.

According to Alonzo, rather than focusing on malicious intrigues, she just wants to do her best in their forthcoming television series.

Meanwhile, Alonzo said she is elated after her now defunct series “Magkaribal” got a nomination at the prestigious New York Festivals International TV and Film Awards 2011.

“I’m happy to hear that. I’m really proud of 'Magkaribal.' Gusto ko rin i-congratulate ang 'Dahil May Isang Ikaw' which is also a nominee,” she said.

The actress said she is very excited to attend the international event along with other “Magkaribal” stars.

“I hope so. With everyone kung puwede, especially with Ate Gretchen because I’m dying to travel with her,” said Alonzo.
