MATAPOS magtambal nina Bea Alonzo at Alden Richards sa local adaptation ng South Korean K-drama series na “Start-up PH,” the new Kapuso star is working with Kapuso Drama King Dennis Trillo in the upcoming series na “Love Before Sunrise” na collaboration between GMA and Viu.

Excited pareho sina Bea at Dennis sa kanilang first TV series project. Ang dalawa ay parehong nagsimula sa Kapamilya network bago lumipat sa Kapuso network.

The singer, actress, vlogger and entrepreneur is also working with National Artist for Music na si Maestro Ryan Cayabyab in a musical-acting project na ayaw pang i-reveal ni Bea.

Bea (35) is in a relationship with Dominic Roque matapos ang kanyang controversial break-up with Kapamilya actor Gerald Anderson.

Vilma deserves to have a book

NATUTUWA ang mga Vilmanians ng Star for All Seasons na si Vilma Santos dahil balik-showbiz siya ngayon after being in the political arena for over two decades.

Sa ngayon ay may tatlo siyang pelikulang nakatakdang simulan at kasama na rito ang kanilang reunion movie ng kanyang perennial screen partner na si Christopher de Leon na kukunan pa sa Japan, a movie with Direk Erik Matti under Reality Entertainment at may isa pa. May posibilidad ding gumawa siya ng isang weekly sitcom.

Vi deserves to have a book of her own. Bibihira ang katulad niya na tumagal sa industriya ng anim na dekada na nasa itaas pa rin ng karera. A well-loved personality, ngayon pa lamang ay marami na ang naghihintay sa kanyang pagbabalik-pelikula.
