book of life

ABS-CBN is now home to the 13th international edition of the hit comedy series, Betty La Fea, with I Love Betty La Fea.  This is the most expensive project that ABS-CBN is putting out this year…it’s 55th anniversary on television. The exact figure of the international rights to the program remain under wraps… but it’s definitely worth a lot!
 
I Love Betty La Fea stars Bea Alonzo, John Lloyd Cruz, Ruffa Gutierrez, Vhong Navarro, Ai-Ai de las Alas and many other stars.
 
So why has this particular story of the ‘ugly duckling’ been so successful, despite its numerous worldwide remakes?
 
Bea told MORNINGS@ANC last Friday that playing Betty has taught her so much about herself.  She asked "Why do beautiful people think they are not beautiful? In Betty’s case, she’s not good looking, but she doesn’t care, her confidence isn’t taking a beating."
 
Well, Betty probably has loads more confidence than Bea who admits that, yes, she’s gotten more vain outside of taping her new series.   She laughingly said, "Yes I want to make myself up more… so I can clearly distinguish me from my character."
