Bea Binene stars as Angela, the protagonist/dog child/mas masahol pa sa hayop in Hanggang Makita Kang Muli. The premise is that Angela was locked and raised in a room with only a dog as company. Her captor is Odessa (played by Ina Feleo), the telenovela staple of the crazy antagonist who does crazy, antagonizing things to keep the story moving. As Angela grew up treated like an animal, she is finally found in the woods by Angela’s dog (lover)boy, Calvin Manahan (played by Derrick Monasterio). Suffice to say, we’re all interested in where all this is heading.

She ranks as the Philippines' number one Modern Family fan in QuizUp. She's a cool girl (she also wrote this write-up).
