2021 has been a year of changes for Bea Alonzo,
and it has also been a year of growth. People not only saw her transfer to GMA
from her former mother network of more than two decades; they also saw her
become more confident and open to conquering new challenges.
This is what makes her the perfect Tanduay
Calendar Girl for 2022, as the brand wanted someone
who is brave enough to try new things and is willing to change in order to
grow.
“She is the Tanduay Calendar Girl we need during
these uncertain times. Someone who will remind us that change can be a good
thing, but you have to be strong as you breeze through these changes. No
stress, just be calm and collected, so you can emerge beautifully out of every
situation you are in,” said said Marc Ngo, Tanduay Senior Brand Manager and International
Business Development Manager.
He added that Bea is a top-caliber actress, who has remained
relevant over the years and even during this pandemic.
“She’s going through a transition in her career,
a blossoming stage, if you may call it. She values her craft and her
authenticity shines through,” Ngo said.
The theme for Bea’s Tanduay Calendar Girl shoot
is La Dolce Vita. While she was
briefed about the theme, the talented actress was given the freedom to
interpret it with direction from the Creative Team.
“I was really nervous at first because it was my
first time to do a sexy photo shoot (Kinakabahan
ako at first kasi first time ko gagawa ng sexy photo shoot),” Alonzo
confessed.
Ngo said
that the shoot came out the way they envisioned it.
“It was done tastefully with Bea exuding her
natural, subtle sexiness into the whole composition. The setting is the
countryside, which complemented the calming effect when one looks at Bea,” he said.
Alonzo expressed that she is more than excited
to become part of the elite circle of women who became Tanduay Calendar Girls.
“Each of them are not only beautiful, but have
many admirable attributes as well. They’re strong, independent, and talented,”
she said.
Previous Tanduay Calendar Girls include Heart
Evangelista, KC Concepcion, Ellen Adarna, Barbie Imperial, and 2021’s Ivana
Alawi, among others.
Asked how she felt when she learned that she was
chosen to represent the brand for the coming year, Alonzo said that she was
surprised at first and ecstatic the next.

“Hindi ako
makapaniwala! Tanduay kasi is an
iconic brand na kilala sa buong mundo at
napakadaming natanggap na international awards. Napakalaking karangalan para sa akin na maging Tanduay calendar
girl. (I couldn’t believe it! Tanduay is an iconic brand that is known all over
the world and has received so many international awards. To be the Tanduay
calendar girl is a huge honor),” Alonzo said.
Alonzo herself has numerous awards to her name.
In 2019, she was declared the “Leading Lady of the Century” by the Film
Development Council of the Philippines. She also has several Best Actress
awards for movies and TV, and has been a recipient of a Box Office Queen award
and a Phenomenal Box Office Star award.
Apart from the Tanduay Calendar Girl project,
the company is also exploring other collaborations with the actress.
As for her movie and TV projects for the coming
year, fans can look forward to her first primetime teleserye as a Kapuso, and a movie with Embassy
Whiskey brand ambassador Alden Richards, among others.
“Tibay
Tanduay. That’s something we need as we welcome the changes in our life.
Have the courage to do something different. It’s only when you open yourself up
to changes that you will grow as a person,” Alonzo said.
