BEA ALONZO: BIRTH OF BASH
Bea mentioned that she dedicated almost a year to working on Bash.
She said, "As like what Janeena [Chan] said, this is my passion project.
"I really worked hard for this for nearly a year. And I can't believe it's finally happening.
"It's taking off! Yes! And I'm so happy that I get to celebrate it with all of you today."
The Kapuso actress waited to find something she's really passionate about before starting her own brand.
Seeing her celebrity friends succeed with their businesses also inspired her to have her own.
Bea told the press, "I've always wanted to create my own brand. Like, I've seen my celebrity friends do it, a lot of celebrities do it, and I've seen them succeed also.
"But maybe it took a while for me because I really wanted to determine what my passion is. And that's where Bash came in.
"It all stems from my passion for traveling, for organizing.
"Because through the years, I've been fortunate enough to, you know, travel the world and explore different places.
"I've had the opportunity to go to many destinations and collect memories. And so, of course, I've been faced with challenges also.
"Like I said, traveling can be stressful, especially when you're packing, it's a bit hard.
"And maybe what I wanted to do is to, you know, solve a problem, probably help the community, right?
"So what I wanted is not only to encapsulate the beauty and the spirit of exploration or traveling. I also wanted to find a solution, a practical and stylish solution for travelers."
But why did she choose the name Bash for her new business?
She answered, "Obviously, because it is short for my well-loved character in One More Chance, Basha.
"But Bash also means, you know, having fun, having a party, and that's what we want. We want to be part of everyone's milestone and celebration.
"And we hope that we could be your constant and trusted companion in all of your travels because together, we can all have a Bash."

BEA ALONZO: TRAVEL ORGANIZING HACKS
Bea doesn't see herself as a professional traveler, but she's certainly experienced, having explored numerous countries around the world.
She has some travel organizing tips to share.
When it comes to packing OOTDs, she said, "I always start with picking a palette and then I work around it. I build my own wardrobe over that specific palette.
"That way, you don't have to pack so many bags and accessories and shoes because they all match."
Bea also recommended using water-repellent packing cubes or organizers.
"Always use water repellent organizers, especially for your toiletries kasi you bring it to the banyo, di ba? You bring it all over.
"And gusto mo... if ayaw mo ng dumihin, then if it's water repellent most likely, it's not dumihin."
Finally, she suggested using refillable airtight bottles for liquids to prevent spills inside the luggage.
She said, "Always make sure na ita-transfer mo [yung liquids] sa mga refillable bottles na parang airtight so it doesn't spill."
