Viewers In Philippines Get Sneak Peak Of ‘I Love Betty La Fea’
Since we’re talking about Ugly Betty being a worldwide phenomenon, I thought is was interesting that network ABS-CBN in the Philippines is introducing the cast of the their upcoming show “I Love Betty La Fea“.
What is really cool is that this version of the show will draw from both the Columbian and the US versions of the show. That’s absolutely brilliant, I think.
Betty will be played by the lovely Bea Alonzo. According to this post at the network’s site, here are some of the other characters (there is a definite difference from the US version):
- Ruffa Gutierrez is Daniella (I think this is a character similar to Wilhelmina)
- Nicolas is Betty’s male friend and is there for her through thick and thin. He is also physically-challenged.
- Julia is Betty’s loving mother. She cares for her daughter so much and for her, Betty is the most beautiful woman in the world.
- Hermes is the kind and supportive father of Betty.
- Andrew is Betty’s cute and confident younger brother.
According to the release from ABS-CBN, the cast will be introduced on the show “My Girl” on Monday. “My Girl” is a Korean Asianovela. I don’t know if this means the cast will be included in the episode of My Girl, or introduced during a break. I know we have Filipino readers here, so maybe one of you could fill us in.
This really looks fascinating!

hello tom. the cast was introduced in a special sneak peak segment during a commercial break of My Girl.
I’m glad and proud that you’ve been searching up about the Betty la Fea franchise here in the Philippines. Like you, I do love Ugly Betty too. And I’m excited for my country’s own version of the show.
Best regards. =)
