Bea Alonzo, who looked far from her character in ABS-CBN's new primetime show I Love Betty La Fea, gets interviewed by The Buzz host Ruffa Guttierez, who happens to be Bea's co-star in the upcoming show. In the office set of I Love Betty La Fea, Ruffa sat down with Bea to talk about Bea's experiences in the show, her love life, and of course, playing the title character.

"Bea, ngayon, mukhang blooming na blooming ka," Ruffa said, "and nag-break up na kayo ni Mico Palanca. Have you gotten over him and have you found a new love?"

"I must say that I'm in the process of moving on," Bea revealed. "Kasi, hindi mo naman yun gagawin overnight, e. Siguro puwedeng mawala ang love or yung feeling, pero hindi mawawala yung pinagsamahan ninyo. When it comes to love ulit-falling in love again, hindi pa ako ready."

Why?

"Isa sa mga reasons siguro kaya I decided na mag isa ulit is to make myself whole again," Bea said. "And, nandoon pa ako sa process of making myself whole again."

Is she ready to entertain other suitors?

"Nag-decide ako na friendship na lang muna ang io-offer ko," said Bea. "Kung may magawan ng foundation at magtuloy saan man, e, it's God's plan na. Hindi ko na choice."

DATING Jake Cuenca. Shifting to Jake Cuenca, Ruffa asked if the Palos star had any meaning to Bea's life right now. Bea however said that she didn't want to put on any label on Jake since it would only create complicated issues. "Right now," Bea added, "all I can say is that we go out, we see each other and we're happy. We enjoy each other's company."

"He's more than a Kapamilya," Ruffa commented.

"I haven't thought about that, yet," Bea laughed as if getting Ruffa's meaning. "Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasagutin but he's fun to be with, actually."

AS BETTY LA FEA. Ruffa, who portrays Bea's boss Daniela in the show, jokingly commented that Bea's fans might go wild over Ruffa's role as a mean boss who always pushes Bea around.

"Baka naman mga fans mo batuhin na ako ng kamatis, tsinelas. Sana huwag ninyo akong batuhin dahil role lang po iyon," Ruffa quipped.

Laughing, Bea proceeded on giving praise to Ruffa by saying, "I must say sobrang nice [si Ruffa] in real life. I'm really glad na nakatrabaho kita ngayon."

"Anong mga eksena natin na pinaka-favorite mo so far?" Ruffa asked.

Bea smiled and answered, "Siguro yung binato mo ako ng bulaklak. Yun talaga yung na-feel ko na nakakatakot si Daniela."

On leading men, why was Bea paired up with John Llyod Cruz as Armando?

"Why not Piolo, or Jake, or Gabby or Aga?" Ruffa asked. "Sino ba nag request or papaano napili si John Llyod bilang Armando?"

"Surprise din sa akin, e," admitted Bea. "I never knew na siya pa rin. Feeling ko, pinagbigyan ng ABS-CBN yung demands ng fans. How aggressive they can be para lang sa aming dalawa. Ayaw nila kaming paghiwalayin."
