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.
