I Love Betty La Fea

I Love Betty La Fea had finally hit the tv screen, and here’s what we have to say:

1. We love how it’s fast-paced. No more waiting for two or three days, heck, even a week, for Bea to appear as Betty.
2. Havent watched the original Betty La Fea but we’re kinda thinking why Vhong, as Nicolas, is looking too “childish” when he’s supposed to be the same age as Bea… geeks arent like that, ye know…
3. We love how the actors fit into their characters… most especially Thou as Hugo! He’s gorgeous!
4. Maegan Young looks hot, and she seems to now have come out of her shell.. good move!
5. We love Ruffa, and the line, “Am not bitter, just better”. Hehehe.
6. Bea looks endearing as Betty…
7. Papa Loydie wearing shorts after making…?!?
8. Wendy looks hot as the hot future sexytary.
9. Aiai and Ronaldo are both very funny (especially with the laway scene, lol)… same with Sam (this is a great role for him, by the way!)
10. We love its timeslot. Dont move it to a later time, okay…

The verdict… it’s Betty-ful!

Piolo Pascual as Armando in I Love Betty La Fea

Will it be Papa Piolo?

Kapamilya network ABS-CBN sure is enjoying this mystery ala guessing game they’re trying to play with the fans cause til now, we still are not certain who’s gonna play Armando, that’s the guy opposite Bea Alonso’s character, Betty, in I Love Betty La Fea.

A wikipedia entry we posted a few days back says it’s John Lloyd Cruz, but a recent ABS-CBN interview featured Ruffa Gutierrez texting Piolo (or is it the other way around?) saying “he wants to work with her in a movie or a soap”… Could this be an insinuation that Papa Piolo could be it?

Hmmn.. we’re still hoping it’s John Lloyd cause we know that Papa Piolo’s (as if we’re close to Papa P, ahihi!) busy shooting a movie with Angel Locsin, a follow-up of their Lobo project.

Anyway, Armando or not, we love you, Papa Piolo!!!

We love Betty La Fea, and even more because of Bea!

We’ve already seen the trailer and it’s so cute! Especially with Vhong looking like an oh-so comedic geek. We’ve already had a glimpse of Bea without the glamour, as Betty, and had to admit, she fits the role perfectly (at least in the looks aspect cause that’s what we have so far).

It is still a few more days before we get a dose of the Pinay Betty la Fea, and there are already online contests regarding the show. There’s a cute one called, “Betty-fy Yourself” where fans get to be Betty for a day. They must transform themselves as Betty (for girls), and as Nicolas (for the guys). Now, fans must take a before and after photo just to be sure that they had a “transformation” and that’s not their original look. lol.

So to those of you interested in joining, check out this IloveBettyLaFea blog.

For those not in the loop, I Love Betty La Fea is the Philippine franchise of the Columbian telenovela, Yo soy Betty, La Fea that’s been popular the world over, especially in the US where it’s called Ugly Betty.

I Love Betty La Fea boasts of a really good-looking cast topbilled by Bea Alonzo as Betty, Ruffa Gutierrez as Daniela Valencia, Vhong Navarro as Nicolas Mora, and Ai Ai delas Alas as Julia.

Supporting characters include Sam Concepcion as Andrew, Ronaldo Valdez as Hermes, Megan Young as Marcela, Wendy Valdez as Patricia, Joem Bascon as Mario, Randolf Stalamacky as Randy, Ronnie Liang as Enrique, Thou Reyes as Hugo, Marvin Yap as Bart, Lloyd Zaragoza as Roman, Sheryn Regis as Kylie, Meryll Soriano as Rose, Krystel Moreno as Jen, Arlene Tolibas as Cely, CJ Jaravata as Lita, Sammy Villaresis as Caloy, Jojo Alejar as Mac, Jayson Gainza as Adolfo, Nan Clenuar as Mickey, and Bam Romana as Donald. (Whew, that’s a lot!)

As for Armando Mendoza, the actor remains a mystery… but, a wikipedia research reveals it’s gonna be fafa John Lloyd Cruz! We think he is the perfect choice!

Bea equals Fea… seems like destiny!
