Netizens are abuzz with comparisons among Bea Alonzo, Julia Barretto, and Kim Chiu after Tanduay announced Kim as its 2025 Calendar Girl.
This marks the third time in recent years that high-profile actresses with intertwined histories have taken on the coveted role, sparking debates about their respective appeal and star power.
What adds fuel to the discussion is the shared connection between the three actresses and actor Gerald Anderson, a factor that fans have not hesitated to highlight:
Kim Chiu was Anderson’s girlfriend during their celebrated love team days from 2006 to 2010. Recently, Kim made headlines after ending her long-term relationship with Xian Lim. Rumors now link her to Paulo Avelino.
Bea Alonzo rekindled a romance with Anderson in 2016 after a brief relationship in 2010. However, their union ended in 2019 amid allegations involving Julia Barretto.
Bea, now single after her split from Dominic Roque, has been vocal about the fallout, stating that she cannot mend ties with someone she doesn’t trust.
Julia Barretto, Anderson’s current girlfriend, became the subject of speculation in 2019 when rumors surfaced about her involvement in the Alonzo-Anderson breakup. Julia has since denied the allegations and continues her relationship with Anderson despite persistent breakup rumors.
The three actresses have each left their mark as Tanduay Calendar Girls:
- Bea Alonzo took on the role in 2022, showcasing her timeless elegance.
- Julia Barretto followed in 2024, bringing youthful allure to the brand.
- Kim Chiu, now announced as the face of 2025, blends sophistication and charm with her toned physique and confident poses.
Social media has been abuzz with fans debating who among the three actresses has the strongest appeal as a calendar girl. Some fans also appreciated the minimal editing on Kim and Julia’s photos, while Bea’s supporters celebrated her enduring grace and sophistication.
The Tanduay Calendar Girl title has long been associated with beauty and prestige, with past honorees including Ivana Alawi, Ellen Adarna, Jessy Mendiola, and Heart Evangelista.
As Bea, Julia, and Kim each make their mark on this legacy, fans continue to celebrate their unique appeal and achievements.
