Thirty-one-year-old Kapamilya actress Bea Alonzo gets vulnerable in the latest photo she shares on social media while vacationing in Coron, Palawan.

In the post shared last Sunday, February 17, Bea is seen flaunting her toned body in a blue bikini talking about accepting her physical appearance. “I have always been the type who would choose not to post photos of myself in swimsuits,” she admits, “but since I declared this year as the year of change, I thought that maybe I should change the way I view myself.”

In the caption, Bea elaborates, “Maybe, I should get rid of all my insecurities so I can live more. I want to forget about how I hated myself for being ‘fat’ in other people’s eyes and just remember the things that I love about my body. It’s the only body that I am blessed with and I am thankful for my health because I get to do the things that make me happy.” 

The post concludes, ‘’I hope that this post could inspire other women to love themselves more, flaws and all. Let’s all work hard to better ourselves for us and not just so others could accept us.”

Many of Bea’s celebrity friends supported her statements as well, actress Liza Soberano calling her “beautiful,” while host Anne Curtis comments that Bea looks “amazing.” Body Positivity advocate Iza Calzado even shared, “It makes me so happy to read this. You deserve the best kind of love and acceptance, the one that comes from yourself. You are so much more than just beautiful, you are worthy.” Bianca Gonzales-Intal gave her thoughts as well, stating, “Love the caption and the photo. Amen. Sometimes we focus too much on what we don’t like and our insecurities, we fail to appreciate what we were given.”
