Bea Alonzo invited her Aeta neighbors and treated them to a home-cooked dinner in her farm in Zambales, as a way of giving back for the blessings she has been receiving.
The actress, her brother and her sister-in-law prepared dishes including chicken hamonado and bringhe for their dinner, as seen in a vlog on her YouTube channel last Saturday, Jan. 14.
“This time we will also give back so after cooking, nag-invite kami ng aming mga kapitbahay na Aetas,” Alonzo said. “Hindi nila alam na nagpe-prepare kami ng meal para sa kanila, then later on we will share an early dinner with them and nag-prepare din kami ng konting gifts para sa kanila.”
(This time we will also give back so after cooking, we invited our Aeta neighbors [to our farm]. They did not know that we were preparing a meal for them, then later on, we would share an early dinner with them. [We] also prepared small gifts for them.)
While Alonzo and her siblings were busy cooking, the guests were entertained by the actress’ mom who planned to have a medical mission for the Aeta community in their area.
After finishing the food preparation, Alonzo joined her Aeta neighbors and had a conversation with them while sharing a meal. The actress and her family then enjoyed the rest of the night by singing and dancing with the indigenous group.
Earlier in October last year, Alonzo and her mom went to Madrid to visit the apartment the actress had bought in the Spanish city. Alonzo had told fans about the property last May, saying it had always been her dream to own an apartment in Europe. /ra
