Bea Alonzo will be playing the local version of the widely popular Betty La Fea, which was made into Ugly Betty in the US. Personally, I think the local version will turn out to be corny. I saw the teaser and Bea is over acting, as far as I can tell.

And after much speculation as to who will be playing Armando, Betty’s love interest, it turned out it will be John Lloyd Cruz. Bea’s perennial screen partner.

I believe ABS-CBN 2 is afraid the series will be a flop so they dished out their tried and tested formula… bring in the bankable screen partners together!
