Early life and education

[edit]

Phylbert Angelli Ranollo Fagestrom, born on October 17, 1987 in Cainta, Rizal, is the daughter of Philip Fagestrom and Mary Anne Ranollo. Alonzo's father is British.[2][3] Her parents are separated, and she has a younger brother on her maternal side.[4] Completing her elementary education in 2001 at the Jose Abad Santos Memorial School in Quezon City, she attended The Fisher Valley College in Taguig, Ususan Elementary School in Ususan and Colegio de Santa Ana in Taguig.

Career

[edit]

In June 2008, Alonzo released her debut album The Real Me under Star Records. It was also in mid-2008 when it was announced that she would play the leading character Betty Pengson in the TV sitcom Yo Soy Betty La Fea, which originated from Colombia. The Philippines' version was entitled I Love Betty La Fea. The show premiered in September 2008 at the primetime slot; it ran for eight consecutive months.

In December 2011, Alonzo renewed her contract with ABS-CBN. She was set to do two movies under Star Cinema and a reunion drama, The Mistress, with her on-screen partner, John Lloyd Cruz.[5] Alonzo starred in the 2014 international hit TV drama Sana Bukas pa ang Kahapon (Tomorrow Belongs To Me), opposite Paulo Avelino and Albert Martinez.

In 2019, Alonzo appeared in the horror film Eerie[6] and the dramatic film Unbreakable.[7] She also started pursuing writing for film in 2019 by enrolling in the writing workshop[8] of Philippine screenwriter, journalist, novelist, and playwright Ricky Lee. This year, she was also included in the list of Variety.com[9] and the International Film Festival & Awards Macao as among Asia's biggest stars poised for international stardom.[10]

In 2021, Alonzo transferred to GMA Network as she signed an exclusive contract with the network after almost 19 years with ABS-CBN.[11] Her first acting project with GMA is the 2022 television series Start-Up PH alongside Alden Richards, which is the Philippine adaptation of the 2020 Korean drama of the same name starring Bae Suzy and Nam Joo-hyuk.

Personal life

[edit]

In 2022, Alonzo invested more than €500,000 (about ₱30 million) in an apartment in Madrid, Spain. As a result, she was given permanent resident privileges in the country, which extends to her mother.[12] However, she clarified that she does not plan to obtain Spanish citizenship.[13]

Alonzo was previously in a relationship with actor and former onscreen partner Gerald Anderson, which ended in 2019. In an interview, Alonzo revealed that the breakup was due to Anderson "ghosting" her, as well as allegations of infidelity involving actress Julia Barretto.[14] She further stated that she felt hurt by his actions, particularly the gaslighting she experienced during their relationship.[15]

On July 18, 2023, Alonzo announced her engagement to actor Dominic Roque.[16][17] However, the couple confirmed the end of their relationship with a joint Instagram post on February 11, 2024.[18][19]

[edit]

In May 2024, Alonzo filed three cyber libel complaints at the Quezon City Prosecutors Office against showbiz columnists and online hosts Cristy Fermin and Ogie Diaz, their co-hosts in their respective online programs and an online basher who is pretending to be close to her, involving “false, malicious, and damaging” reports of her alleged tax evasion.[20][21]

The following month, Alonzo's former driver, Efren Torres Delos Reyes filed with the DOLE's National Labor Relations Commission a labor case against her for wrongful dismissal, abuse, maltreatment, harassment and lack of separation pay. Her lawyer, Joey Garcia alleged that the case is tainted with malice.[22]
