Bea Alonzo celebrates her 21 st birthday

Bea Alonzo must have realized that showbiz is not permanent and stable career. So it is just proper to take the opportunity and save a lot while at the peak of popularity.

So it is just right that she was not celebrating her birthday with so much expenses like what she used to do in the past. Having suffered depression while uncertain about her future when she was not receiving any project must have taught her a lot.

Actress Bea Alonzo marked her 21st birthday this time not with her friends but with her loves -- her mother and her family.

In an interview, Alonzo gladly shared that she celebrated her birthday and was able to find time to relax at a resort in the province of Batangas.

The actress said that she's really happy that she was able to spend time with her family despite her hectic schedules in showbiz.

"Masaya naman ang birthday ko hindi siya yung usual birthday ko na sini-celebrate ko talaga na party with my friends. This time mas intimate. I think yung birthday gift ko sa sarili ko was to relax hindi ko yon na-experience dati,” Alonzo said.

Alonzo also shared her happiness by saying that her relationship now with her mother and her stepdad is getting really okay.

“Mas umookey yung relationship namin ng mommy ko noong husband niya at ng kapatid ko so yun ang I think na greatest gift,” she said.

Alonzo who was born on October 17, 1987 is the daughter of a British national.

At present, Alonzo is the 12th star to be deglamorized while playing the lead role in the television series "Betty La Fea", ABS-CBN's biggest and most expensive franchise to date.

Alonzo was first seen as a young nerd who transformed into a 20-year old lawyer in ABS-CBN's "Kay Tagal Kang Hinintay," who, at the age of 15 was nominated for Best Actress by the PMPC Awards. This made her the youngest nominee for the category.
