Bea Alonzo said her change of TV networks reflect her desire to move on with her career following the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.
“She is #ProudToBEAKapuso?? Welcome to GMA Network, Bea Alonzo,” GMA welcomed their newest star.
Bea Alonzo, a 20-year Kapamilya actress, officially signed an exclusive contract to GMA Network.
In November 2020, the actress decided not to renew her contract with ABS-CBN and announced she would be managed by veteran talent agent Shirley Kuan. Speculations of transferring to the rival network GMA-7 quickly circulated but was followed by a lull for several months.

GMA teased a photo featuring their new talent on Wednesday (June 30) with the caption, "One of the top performers in Philippine showbiz will be a Kapuso."
Three letters in a red-colored font stood out from the rest of the teaser. It said "BE A," seemingly hinting at the actress’ name.
According to the network’s Instagram post, the star will make her first official appearance as a Kapuso today (July 1) at 4 p.m. via GMA’s Facebook page.
After the contract signing last Thursday, GMA's top executives rolled out the red carpet and sealed the deal with the reigning Philippine Movie Queen at a five-star hotel in Ortigas Center.
Looking her most beautiful since joining showbiz in 2001, Alonzo declared via digital interview the same day that she feels very happy to open a new chapter in her thriving career.

Unable to escape questions how she, her manager and GMA Network finally came to an agreement for her to be a Kapuso, Alonzo shared, "It took us a lot of months to work it out kasi hindi naman lingid sa kaalaman natin that the last year has been very challenging. But it gave me time to reflect on my life, what I want to do, how I want to move on, what else I want to chase in terms of my dreams.”
Though Bea seems to be happy in her new home, some of her fans from the beginning had their opinions mixed.
While others seem to be supportive of the famed actress’ decision, some are not so supportive.
A few fans even labelled her as ‘cancelled’ and even saying they would unfollow her activities in her social media accounts. (NP)
