Nice girls can come first! The Secrets to her scandal- free success!
Actions speak louder than words though, and it’s clear that Bea is a very good girl. In her eight years of working in show business, she has taken it upon herself to be the family’s breadwinner and clearly does not resent the role.
“It’s not an obligation, but something I really choose to do because I know kailangan nila ‘yun. Di na nila kailangan sabihin kung ano ang kailangan nila. You do it because you love them,” she tells Marie Claire.
“For now, being able to provide for my family for as long as I can is my mission in life. Being an actress is part of that.”
She shares that, after all these years of being in showbiz, it’s only recently that she’s been able to enjoy the fruits of her hard work by buying some luxury bags for herself.
“Ngayon lang ako nakakabili, e,” she says, “Before, I chose not to spend on bags kasi feeling ko may ‘quota’ akong hinahabol for my mom. Kailangan bilhan ko muna siya ng lahat ng [gusto niya].”
While most everyone is aware of Bea’s status as her family’s breadwinner, not everyone knows that she devotes part of her busy schedule to the People’s Recovery, Empowerment Development Assistance (PREDA) Foundation. It is an advocacy that she supports in her own quiet way.
“I don’t need to announce to everyone kung ano yung ginagawa ko to help in my own way or to make a change,” she points out. “I have a soft spot for kids, [especially those who] were raped, abused, or galing sa broken families. I came from a broken family, too, and it’s my faith that helped me weather it. So I’m helping bring these kids back to God as well.”
She is quick to add though, that this is something that she really wants to keep private, and only shares the experience with Marie Claire because of the magazine’s similar commitment to advocacies and social awareness.
“I don’t want people to misinterpret my actions, or to say that it’s all just for show,” she says, “I’d rather just be quiet about it, and talk to my friends and be an example among them.”

love you bea! ingat!
I do not know you personally, but I watched every movies and teleseries you have made and most of your inteview clips too, and based on all of that I somehow got the feelings that you are a loving member of your family. There are times that you looked shy but determined , quite but stubborn, soft hearted but assertive…all of those conflicting characteristics endeared you more to your fans. If in case that ABS CBN made a mistake and neglected you. Do not worry one bit, because you are a very good actress. You may not be a perfect singer nor a perfect dancer with a perfect body, but you have an ALMOST PERFECT IN AND OUT BEAUTY. I do not know what could make me change my admiration to you. You are very pretty but most of all you are beautiful!!!
