“Galing ako sa isang mahabang bakasyon. Twenty-six days, almost a month. Kakauwi ko lang this week from Europe,” Bea said in a Pep.ph report.
“The reason why I went there was because I wanted to get my Golden Visa to Spain, so am now a resident of Spain,” she added.

“After two years, you can apply for citizenship, which am not gonna of course, but, at least, there is that option,” Bea added..
The Kapuso actress said that she has always been fascinated with the idea of living abroad.
“I’ve always been fascinated with the idea of living abroad. But not because I already have a place there doesn’t mean doon ako titira. Of course, am gonna live here. It just so happened that I love Madrid, I love Spain, and I have a lot of friends there,” Bea said.
