Contenders

Prior to Deramas' confirmation that Alonzo will play Betty La Fea, there were other actresses being considered for the role. They were "Lobo" star Angel Locsin and "Maging Sino Ka Man" mainstay Anne Curtis. Earlier reports had said singer Regine Velasquez was also considered for the series. In February, Velasquez appeared on the entertainment show "The Buzz." She said she was the one who broached the idea to "someone" that she wanted to play the role of "Betty La Fea", or Ugly Betty, in the Philippine edition of the popular TV series. The show was first aired in Mexico and it later had a successful US version. The singer said that her interest in doing "Betty La Fea" and her excitement over the subsequent offer from ABS-CBN first made her decide to say good-bye to GMA-7. Velasquez emphasized that she was genuinely interested in doing the series. She pointed out that she would not have risked employment at GMA-7 and her good relations with the station if she was merely creating a ruse to get better terms for her new contract. In the end, Velasquez decided to stay with GMA-7. Eventually ABS-CBN declared that Bea Alonzo will finally star in Betty La Fea > Bea Alonzo is Betty La Fea
