It’s not a surprise that John Lloyd is Armando in the Philippine franchise of Betty La Fea, “I Love Betty La Fea”. He is really the best guy for the role… and for many reasons.

John Lloyd is Bea Alonzo’s perennial onscreen partner. They have a solid foundation, and for a massive project like Betty La Fea, the kapamilya network, ABS-CBN, would benefit more from the tandem — proven, and with a super solid fan-base.

John Lloyd is the best fit for Bea in terms of looks. Not saying that John Lloyd would match Bea ala Betty (cause he’s super good-looking), but Bea has this frame that matches Papa Lloydee’s.

John Lloyd has proven himself to be versatile. And with the success of his most recent movie, A Very Special Love, he’s proven that he could do really really well in a romantic-comedy… cause it seems I Love Betty La Fea’s gonna be one fun ride.

ABS-CBN’s Marketing group’s a genius for keeping John Lloyd as Armando a mystery. Having kept it a mystery allowed Papa Lloydee to shine as himself in his last film, with the very charming Sarah Geronimo. Plus, they’ve created a hype already, having people guessing who’s who, when it’s obvious who’s gonna be who.

PS: Bea and Papa Lloydee really look good together, dont you think?

I Love Betty La Fea

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!
