Two days after it was reported that Bea Alonzo bagged the role of Betty La Fea, the young actress was formally launched and presented to the press earlier today, May 8.
"I was so happy and somehow nabigyan na ako ng spark of hope na ako talaga ang gaganap," said Bea during the press conference prepared by ABS-CBN exclusively for her at the 9501 restaurant of ABS-CBN in Quezon City.
According to ABS-CBN Business Unit Head Deo Endrinal, the network secured the rights for Betty La Fea two years ago, but they opted to take time before making the local version.
Branded as one of the most successful telenovelas ever created on modern television, Betty La Fea was first seen in 1999 in the Colombian network RCN. The soap's popularity eventually spread outside Colombia. While some countries dubbed the original series in their own language, other countries went all out and bought Betty La Fea's franchise to allow them to recreate the program and cast their own actors. |
