Bela Padilla: FHM March 2012 Cover

Bela Padilla is “stepping out of the shadows” on the cover of FHM Philippines’ March 2012 issue.

The 20-year-old Kapuso actress was supposed to join Miss World Philippines 2012 but being cast in GMA-7′s primetime series “Legacy” made her rethink her priorities.

In an interview by the Manila Bulletin, Bela said she would want to focus on her acting career.

“Although a lot of people have given me options already who I can train with, I haven’t called anyone yet because I’m doing a soap now. I’m gonna start taping for ‘Legacy’ so I want to focus on that first,” she said.

Bela is set to enter in the Kapuso teleserye next week. She has no other projects on GMA-7 as of the moment.
