Liezel dela Cruz

With a face as beautiful as a blooming flower and acting skills that pierce straight through our hearts, Bela Padilla is a captivating addition to the cast of “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/pamilyasagrado/">Pamilya Sagrado</a>,” where she makes recurring appearances as Cristine Malonzo. Re-watch her standout scenes from the political drama series via this Kapamilya Toplist video.Bela’s pristine beauty is perfectly suited for melodramatic moments, like the one she shared with Shaina Magdayao, who plays her sister, Grace, in the story. Bela and Shaina complemented each other’s riveting display of tears as Grace quietly expressed her pain of always feeling like the lesser favorite child. Even after their parents separated and Cristine chose to go with their mom, their father, Estong (Joel Torre), never loved Cristine any less. Deep down, Grace felt like Estong was still yearning for Cristine and that her own presence felt insignificant. Cristine didn’t utter a word, but the hurt could be seen in her eyes, and the way she embraced her sister for comfort spoke volumes.Bela made her character’s inner turmoil feel so real to the audience. She loved her sister deeply, but she couldn’t stand watching their mom being mistreated by their dad. There was a particularly intense confrontation scene where Cristine faced Grace’s resentment and bitterness. After all, things didn’t turn out well when Cristine and their mom left; Cristine was also neglected by her stepfather. She then explained that none of it was her fault or something she ever wished for because, in her heart, all she ever wanted was to protect her mother.That explains her devastation when her mom died of cancer. In a scene at the cemetery after the funeral, Estong told her they should go home, but Cristine refused. Deep down, she mourned that even before her mother passed away from her illness, it was as if she had already died due to the cruel life Estong gave them. Cristine walked away and gazed at the shore, her beautiful tears glowing in the sunset.Estong ran after her to ask for forgiveness and found her sobbing. He handed her a pair of earrings that her mother had left behind, and Cristine continued to cry out her grief to the heavens.Nobody really knew what happened to Cristine after her mother died—nobody except Mercedes (Mylene Dizon). This brings us to a scene where Cristine went to an orphanage to leave her newborn baby, but she backed out when she saw Mercedes, who had secretly followed her to her apartment. An intense female brawl followed, with Mercedes erupting in anger because Cristine knew very well that the father of her child, Rafael (Piolo Pascual), was Mercedes&#x27; husband, yet she still got involved in an affair with him.Cristine desperately tried to protect her child, knowing that Mercedes, blinded by the pain and rage of the traitors’ deceit, would take the baby away. Cristine threatened Mercedes with a knife, saying she would stab her if she didn’t leave her child alone. But Mercedes fought back and grabbed the weapon, and in the middle of their scuffle, she accidentally stabbed and killed Cristine.Bela shares undeniable chemistry with Piolo, evident in flashback scenes that show how their forbidden love blossomed. It was love at first sight for then-city mayor Rafael when he first laid eyes on Cristine, who was a nursing student working part-time as a clerk at the city hall. Cristine captivated Rafael, who became very warm and friendly towards her. Slowly, they grew closer to each other. One time, while Cristine was caring for a fatigued Rafael, he couldn’t help but lean in and kiss her. At first, Cristine pulled away. But she eventually gave in and returned Rafael’s affection with kisses of her own.And it was her love for a ‘Sagrado’ that destroyed her life.Catch the intense scenes in “<a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/pamilyasagrado/">Pamilya Sagrado</a>,” weeknights on <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/articles-news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-kapamilya-channel-12340" target="_blank">Kapamilya Channel</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/abscbnentertainment" target="_blank">Kapamilya Online Live</a>, TV5, and A2Z.
