Bea Alonzo and Jean Garcia are set to star together in a project once again!

At Friday’s press conference for “Widows’ War,” Jean said that she really hoped to work with Bea again when she heard that she had finally become a Kapuso.

“Walang pinagbago si Bea. Same pa rin. Magaling naman na siya noon, mas lalo siyang magaling ngayon,” she said.

The veteran actress said that Bea already had a taste of her iconic on-screen slap again.

“Nung sinampal niya ako, sabi ko, ‘Nakabalik na nga pala si Miss Jean Garcia sa buhay ko,’ Bea said. “Namiss ko ‘yung intensity nung sampal ni Miss Jean.”

Like Jean, Bea also had nothing but kind words for her co-star.

“She’s very professional as an actress. Marami kaming mga eksena dito na obviously very physical. Meron pang mga eksena na ilulublob niya ako sa dagat. Pero dahil nga she is Miss Jean Garcia, alam naman natin gaano siya kagaling, napag-uusapan naming kung paano madadaya ‘yung mga bagay bagay na hindi mukhang fake sa screen,” she said.

Bea said she’s grateful that it’s Jean she is working with.

“Buti na lang siya ‘yung ka-eksena ko kasi feeling ko mas masasaktan ako. Maganda na meron kaming dialogue before namin ginagawa ‘yung mga eksena,” she said.

Jean agreed, saying, “Kailangan talaga communication eh para hindi pupuwedeng gagawin lang namin kung ano ‘yung sinabi ni direk, pero kami mismong artista, makipag-usap ka.”

Directed by Zig Dulay, “Widows’ War” also stars Carla Abellana, Tonton Gutierrez, Rita Daniela, Jeric Gonzales, Benjamin Alves, Juancho Triviño, Jackie Lou Blanco, James Graham, and more.

Earlier this month, the project posted its first teaser, showing Bea and Carla as brides in black.

It is a spinoff of the popular murder-mystery series “Royal Blood” and “Widow’s Web.”
