Miss Bea Alonzo has many awards in her name and this time we are hoping that she gets the FAMAS award for best actress category. A lot of people believe that she deserves this award. We thought that she should have won the 2013 award in the movie “The Mistress”. In “The Four Sisters and a Wedding” she did it again. What a performance, I myself had tears flowing on my cheeks in that scene where she was talking in front of her siblings and mother. She delivered her character so realistically and spontaneously. I became a fan when I saw her for the first time in “Magkaribal” soap and I said to myself, Miss Alonzo is a great actress. Very talented and generous. I did some research about her and she is the only one I know in her generations of actors that celebrated her 18th birthday with young orphans rather than spending an extravagant celebration and up to now she is doing her charity work very quietly. Here in Canada she is considered by newsmen as the most decent among the young actors of her generations. Bravo to her. God bless.
