MANILA — Actress Bea Alonzo and businessman Ferdinand Vincent Co were married July 13 in a private civil ceremony at Makati City Hall, with Makati Mayor Nancy Binay officiating.
The marriage became public the following day after Binay shared a photograph with the couple and offered her congratulations. Alonzo confirmed the wedding on July 15, posting a series of black-and-white images from the ceremony with the one-word caption, “Home.”
The photographs showed the newlyweds signing documents, exchanging rings and posing beside a small cake marked “Just Married.” Alonzo wore a structured white ensemble and carried a bouquet of white flowers, while Co wore a white Barong Tagalog.
Alonzo later said she did her own makeup and that a close friend took the photographs. The pared-down arrangements kept the ceremony largely outside public view.
Joey V. Garcia of GERA Law, Alonzo’s lawyer, said the wedding took place at about 7 p.m. He also confirmed that Alonzo and Co had signed a prenuptial agreement before the ceremony.
Garcia said the agreement was entered into freely and voluntarily and did not create any legal impediment to the marriage. Its terms remain private, and neither Alonzo nor Co has discussed them publicly.
The civil wedding followed months of public interest in the couple’s plans. In March, St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Manila published marriage banns bearing their legal names, formally signaling their intention to marry. The notice did not state when or where the ceremony would take place.
Alonzo publicly acknowledged her relationship with Co in August 2025, saying she was happy while making clear that she wanted to keep much of her personal life private. The couple made only occasional public appearances and did not announce an engagement before the wedding.
Co, whose full name is Ferdinand Vincent P. Co, is president and a director of Puregold Price Club Inc., a publicly listed supermarket operator.
Alonzo is among the Philippines’ most established film and television actresses. Her credits include One More Chance, The Mistress and Four Sisters and a Wedding.
The couple has not announced whether the civil ceremony will be followed by religious rites or a larger reception.
