Actress Bea Alonzo, known for her remarkable performances in the Philippine entertainment industry, made headlines around November last year after purchasing an apartment in Madrid for a cool €500,000 (₱30 million).

During a three-week European vacation, Bea processed her residency visa and secured her new property. In her vlog, she showed her non-furnished apartment in a century-old building; she plans to make it a cozy vacation home for her and her loved ones, and she also thought of having it leased in the future. She expressed her fascination with living abroad but clarified that her primary residence would remain in the Philippines.
