Ripe for teenage superstardom


After making heads turn as part of GMA-7’s "First Time," with her role as Natalie Dimaculangan, Bea Binene has successfully crossed over that "Starstruck Kids" finalist tag by proving to one and all that she is serious about acting.

Just 12 years old but already a stunner in her own right, Bea says, "Kung dati po parang laro lang ang lahat, ngayon po I feel that I need to do my best so that the public will take me more seriously and hopefully like me."

The tweener says she loves this business and she feels that she has learned a lot already in the short span of time that she has been there. She also cherishes every role, every show she has appeared into. Currently, the rising star is a regular co-host in the new Kapuso Sunday show "Party Pilipinas." She will be seen next in the cast of the upcoming "Pilyang Kerubin" with another ‘tween star: Barbie Forteza.

In 2004 she was a contestant for "StarStruck Kids" and finished as one of its finalists. After that she had stints with the sitcom "Bahay Mo Ba ‘To" and the series "Lovely Day." She played the character Junabeth Mulingtapang and did hosting.

The Kapuso kid, being managed by GMA Artist Center, never ceases to improve herself. "Gusto ko pong maging magaling sa acting, singing, hosting at sa martial arts," she enumerates.

Interestingly, Bea is a wushu enthusiast and will soon join a national competition. She loves the sport and she doesn’t see her gender as hindrance to her goal of winning in competitions.

The same tenacity is seen in her showbiz work. She takes each role to heart and often gets rewarded with praises, just like with her work as young Mimay in "Kaputol Ng Isang Awit" in 2008.

She singled out the likes of Miley Cyrus, Ashley Tisdale and Regine Velasquez as influences when doing her thing on screen. She points out "I want to be known as an actress."
