What
is the first thought that pops to your head every time you hear Beatriz
Saw’s name? It might be “Pinoy Big Brother”, right? Well, there
is a reason why most people tend to have that kind of intuition. It's because Beatriz Saw, popularly known as ‘Bea Saw’ or ‘Mommy
Bei’, was once a fellow housemate of Kuya in ABS-CBN’s
prime time reality show - “Pinoy Big Brother”.
It
was on the Fourth Season of Pinoy Big Brother last February 25, 2007, when a 21-year-old Chinita named Maria Beatriz Saw – given the
title “Sassy Girl of Bicol”, first stepped inside Big Brother’s
house alongside seventeen more co-housemates originating from various
cities and provinces nationwide.
While
Bea was inside, she relentlessly faced and accepted all the
challenges and obstacles handed down to her. She proved to the people
that she is worthy of the title ‘Pinoy Big Brother Big Winner’.
Although there were instances where she failed in their tasks, it was
never a hindrance or a credible reason for her to end her journey and
quit.
After
a hundred and twenty-six days of experience inside the house, Bea
finally went back to the outside world on June 30, 2007 and was part
of Kuya’s “Big Four” – top four housemates based on highest
voting percentage during the open voting.
On
the culminating night held at the Big Dome in Araneta Coliseum, Bea
garnered a total of 30.29 percent of the audiences votes - equivalent to over a million and a half, making her Pinoy big Brother
Season 4’s Big Winner.
Mickey Perz, the "Hip-hop Dancer from Switzerland", was declared as the
Second Big Placer, Wendy Valdez as Third Big Placer and Gee-Ann
Abrahan as Fourth Big Placer.
After bringing home the bacon, Bea instantaneously turned into a famous
public figure both in showbiz and media. She was invited to do
guesting on different programs in ABS-CBN like ASAP and The Buzz.
In
her guesting on The Buzz, she shared some of the unforgettable moments she had throughout the duration of her journey inside the house. One was how confusing it was for her to decide who among her co-housemates
will she give a nomination point.
“It’s
really difficult Kuya Boy because it’s like putting them in danger
of being evicted and more
like
taking away their chances of winning“ - she said in the interview.
Another
is how nerve-wrecking it was being nominated for eviction on a
certain week.
And last was how she screamed “Kuya
sabayan mo akong lumabas ng bahay mo!”
when her name was announced as the season’s Big Winner.
Another was her role as ‘Mayumi Castro’ in one of TV5’s Television series titled “Lip-gloss” starring Rodjun Cruz, Mikee Lee, Maxinne Magalona, Fred Payawan, Charina Suzara and Louise delos Reyes. She also had quite a number of appearances in Pinoy films, though never as leading actress.
It was during the years of 2009 - 2010 when Beatriz Saw was at the peak of her fame in show business. From guesting, supporting roles, minor casting roles, these enabled her to hoard enough acting experience that she further utilized when she took her career to the next level by accepting much heavier quality projects.
One concrete example was when she had a three-time appearance on MMK (Maalaala Mo Kaya), one of the longest TV drama anthologies in the country. Having a main role in MMK series at that time was already considered a big boom for starting-celebrities. It signifies that as an actress, your acting skills became better.
But as soon as Beatriz Saw started becoming more popular and more successful in her acting career, there was a time (around the year 2011) when she suddenly disappeared from the showbiz industry and was no longer seen portraying roles on TV dramas, films and teleseryes.
Many netizens began posting articles on social media websites discussing the reasons that caused her disappearance. They were left questioning about what happened to her, where she is and when will she make a comeback. Only the last time they saw her on television was when she portrayed the role of ‘Ms. Fontanilla’ during the remake of TV series “Annaliza” in 2011.
It
was then that people knew what happened to Bea when she posted on her
Facebook page - a picture of her in a church wearing a bridal gown along with her husband wearing a suit. The controversies behind all
of the peoples questions were finally answered.Details regarding Bea’s wedding were also unveiled on an online website celebritycult.blogspot.com. The blog post stated that Beatriz Saw married her longtime businessman boyfriend - Rocky Tan, last January 09, 2012. Beatriz also told these hidden information herself when she was interviewed during her guesting on Pinoy Big Brother Season 9: Unlimited in 2012.
Another shocking revelation was also discovered about her during the interview in PBB Unlimited where she admitted to the hosts that she was pregnant during her cool-off and that she gave birth to her first baby girl last November 27, 2012 which she named “Arabella Tan”.
As of now, Bea is currently a full-time mother and a wife in her non-extravagant
social life. She is currently helping her husband in their business in order to
establish stability in their sprouting family. Bea said it will be hard for her to hit two birds with one stone. She admitted she could not simultaneously focus on her acting career and take care of her baby. She added this is the major reason why she decided to cool-off from showbiz for the meantime.
However, just recently, in an article posted ABS-CBN’s online page, Bea said in an interview that she is opening back her doors and is willing to accept acting projects, TV films or teleseryes again if ever she’s offered as such. And as of 2015, Bea Saw is back in the line of her career and had currently portrayed the role of ‘Anj’ in Star Cinema’s “A Second Chance”.
