Bea Alonzo has spoken up on the recent statement made by ex-boyfriend Gerald Anderson asking for her forgiveness, saying she would be dishonest if she would say that she has already accepted his apology.
In her "Level Up" interview at Radyo Katipunan, Bea said it’s not about asking for forgiveness but also being accountable.
"Ang plastik ko naman kapag sinabi kong napatawad ko na siya. It’s not about asking for forgiveness, it’s taking accountability and being responsible for your actions. Let’s just leave it at that," she said.
“Madali kasing humingi ng sorry, ng pagpapatawad, pero anong gagawin mo pagkatapos noon?" she added.
In a recent interview with Boy Abunda, the latter brought up the controversy that led Anderson to go public with his relationship with Julia Barretto.
“I really pray, I really hope she will find it in her heart to forgive what happened, forgive me. Nagho-hope lang po ako," he said.
Alonzo and Anderson have broken up in 2019 after the latter was accused of cheating with his then co-actor Barretto. She then accused the actor of ending their relationship by simply stopping their communication.
Both Anderson and Barretto denied having romantic ties at the time.
Meanwhile, Bea also wondered why the issue between her and Anderson still has not died down yet. She then recognized how her friends may have something to do with it.
“Itong mga kaibigan ko, nasasaktan sila kapag nakakarinig ng mga bagay tungkol sa akin. They tend to be protective of me and they speak for me. Siguro kung wala silang bagay na naririnig, wala rin silang bagay na sasabihin," Alonzo stated.
It can be recalled that one of Alonzo's close friends, actor Janus del Prado, took to social media his personal tips to a certain "G" on how to apologize. Many believed he was referring to Gerald.
Now dating actor-model Dominic Roque, Alonzo described their relationship as “very easy.”
"He was there all along as a friend. Barkada kami. And hindi naman na kami mga bata. The good thing there is that merong nag-aalaga sa akin. At may integration ang aming mga pamilya. Napapasaya niya ako. I hope napapasaya ko siya and we’re trying to bring out the best in us," Bea said.
"Hindi ako nagmamadali. Hindi na rin ako aayon sa expectations at timetable ng ibang mga tao. We are happy and we are enjoying it!" she added.
