Getting Out of Her Comfort Zone, Bea Alonzo Sizzles as the New Tanduay Calendar Girl

2021 has been a year of changes for Bea Alonzo, and it has also been a year of growth. People not only saw her transfer to GMA from her former mother network of more than two decades; they also saw her become more confident and open to conquering new challenges.

This is what makes her the perfect Tanduay Calendar Girl for 2022, as the brand wanted someone who is brave enough to try new things and is willing to change in order to grow.

“She is the Tanduay Calendar Girl we need during these uncertain times. Someone who will remind us that change can be a good thing, but you have to be strong as you breeze through these changes. No stress, just be calm and collected, so you can emerge beautifully out of every situation you are in,” said said Marc Ngo, Tanduay Senior Brand Manager and International Business Development Manager.

He added that Bea is a top-caliber actress, who has remained relevant over the years and even during this pandemic.

“She’s going through a transition in her career, a blossoming stage, if you may call it. She values her craft and her authenticity shines through,” Ngo said.

The theme for Bea’s Tanduay Calendar Girl shoot is La Dolce Vita. While she was briefed about the theme, the talented actress was given the freedom to interpret it with direction from the Creative Team.

“I was really nervous at first because it was my first time to do a sexy photo shoot (Kinakabahan ako at first kasi first time ko gagawa ng sexy photo shoot),” Alonzo confessed.

Ngo said that the shoot came out the way they envisioned it.

“It was done tastefully with Bea exuding her natural, subtle sexiness into the whole composition. The setting is the countryside, which complemented the calming effect when one looks at Bea,” he said.

Alonzo expressed that she is more than excited to become part of the elite circle of women who became Tanduay Calendar Girls.

“Each of them are not only beautiful, but have many admirable attributes as well. They’re strong, independent, and talented,” she said.

Previous Tanduay Calendar Girls include Heart Evangelista, KC Concepcion, Ellen Adarna, Barbie Imperial, and 2021’s Ivana Alawi, among others.

Asked how she felt when she learned that she was chosen to represent the brand for the coming year, Alonzo said that she was surprised at first and ecstatic the next.

“Hindi ako makapaniwala! Tanduay kasi is an iconic brand na kilala sa buong mundo at napakadaming natanggap na international awards. Napakalaking karangalan para sa akin na maging Tanduay calendar girl. (I couldn’t believe it! Tanduay is an iconic brand that is known all over the world and has received so many international awards. To be the Tanduay calendar girl is a huge honor),” Alonzo said.

Alonzo herself has numerous awards to her name. In 2019, she was declared the “Leading Lady of the Century” by the Film Development Council of the Philippines. She also has several Best Actress awards for movies and TV, and has been a recipient of a Box Office Queen award and a Phenomenal Box Office Star award.

Apart from the Tanduay Calendar Girl project, the company is also exploring other collaborations with the actress.

As for her movie and TV projects for the coming year, fans can look forward to her first primetime teleserye as a Kapuso, and a movie with Embassy Whiskey brand ambassador Alden Richards, among others.

“Tibay Tanduay. That’s something we need as we welcome the changes in our life. Have the courage to do something different. It’s only when you open yourself up to changes that you will grow as a person,” Alonzo said.

Ivana Alawi is the New Face of Tanduay’s Calendar Girl

Actress and model Ivana Alawi joins the growing Tanduay family as the brand’s newest calendar girl.

“Ivana embodies the modern calendar girl — someone who’s strong, hardworking, and has a heart for helping others. She also knows when to relax and have a good time with friends and family. We gladly welcome her here at Tanduay,” said Paul Lim, Senior Vice President for Sales and Marketing of Tanduay Distillers, Inc.

Ivana will appear in the 2021 calendar of the company, with photos shot by renowned Filipino photographer Mark Nicdao. Aside from being Tanduay Calendar Girl, digital collaborations are in the works between Ivana and the world’s number one rum.

“I am honored,” Ivana said of being chosen as the latest Tanduay Calendar Girl. “Not everybody is given the chance to be a calendar girl, and I’m happy that Tanduay gave that to me. I am also happy because of the beautiful outcome of the photos. It was a beautiful collaboration that I am truly proud of.”

Ivana said that she sees the Tanduay Calendar Girl as someone who is strong and independent – ideals that she embodies. Most recently, Ivana earned the admiration of netizens for taking the time to personally pack and deliver goods to the families in Cagayan affected by the flooding caused by Typhoon Ulysses.

This is not the first time that she took part in charitable work. Ivana has also previously organized relief efforts to help families affected by the lockdown due to the pandemic.

Born Mariam Sayed Sameer Marbella Al-Alawi, Ivana is half Moroccan and half Filipino. The 23-year-old has appeared in numerous teleseryes and has been awarded the Best New Female Personality for Television in the 33rd PMPC Star Awards for Television.

A popular social media personality, Ivana has 6.3 million followers on Instagram and her YouTube channel has 9.9 million subscribers. Currently, she is busy creating vlogs, shoots, and brand partnerships.
