In an interview on the sidelines of GMA Regional TV's activities for this year's Sinulog festival in Cebu City, Bea looked back on her experience of portraying for the very first time a character without a clear love interest, talked about her evolving career choices, and even offered a glimpse into the status of her love life.

Bea admitted that playing Sam, a woman driven by the search for truth about her father's murder, was both challenging and enlightening.

"When I do a character, hindi ka naman laging nag-a-agree dun, but you always have to make it work. You have to justify kung ano yung thought process ng character? Because you have to believe it in order for your audience to believe it," she explained.

Further sharing her takeaway from her role, she said, "What I realized from doing this series is that sometimes, it's better to focus on being a good person than being right. Because with Sam, she was always looking for the truth. She wanted to be right. She wanted her hunch to be right. She wanted her suspicion to be correct about who killed her father.
