Actress Bea Alonzo and Puregold Price Club President and Director Ferdinand Vincent Co are finally tying the knot.
This development came after the publication of the marriage banns for Bea and Vincent, which was announced at St. Peter the Apostle Parish in Manila on Sunday, March 8.

The announcement of the marriage banns came before the mass ended. The female layperson read: "Dear parishioners, we are announcing the marriage banns of the proposed marriage of the following couple: First banns for Ferdinand Vincent Pe Co, 44 years old, son of Lucio L. Co and Susan Pe, residents of Paco, Manila, who will be married to Phylbert Angelli Escalante Ranollo, 38 years old, daughter of Felizardo Ranollo and Mary Ann Escalante, residents of Paco, Manila. Please inform the parish priest Rev. Fr. Jomar J. Burgos, LRMS, if you know of any impediment to this marriage."
Bea's real name is Phylbert Angelli Escalante Ranollo. Vincent is the son of retail magnates Lucio and Susan Co.
As of this posting, the couple has not issued any statement regarding the marriage banns.
In the Philippines, marriage banns are public notices of an upcoming wedding, typically posted in both the bride’s and groom’s respective parishes for three consecutive Sundays.
This is a requirement for Catholic weddings to identify any impediments, and banns are usually submitted three to four months before the ceremony.

In May 2025, Vincent and Bea sparked dating rumors after vacationing together in Spain.
Earlier, a news report mentioned that Vincent had shared photos from a trip to Andalucía, Spain, with an unidentified woman on his private Instagram account.
Netizens noticed that Bea also posted photos from the same Spanish location, even wearing the same outfits featured in Vincent's posts.

In July, Vincent and Bea Alonzo made headlines as they attended the Puregold OPM Con 2025 event at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
This marked their first major public appearance together, though they had attended smaller events previously.
In August 2025, Bea confirmed her relationship with Vincent in an exclusive interview with GMA Integrated News reporter Bea Pinlac at the GMA Gala 2025.
"I think it's very obvious that we're together, and I'm happy. I think that is all I can share," Bea said.

This will be the first wedding for Bea and Vincent.
A source close to the family remarked that the woman who marries Vincent is fortunate.
The source said: "Isa lang masasabi ko (kay Vincent). Napakabait na tao. Napakaswerte ng mapapangasawa n'ya. Gwapo, matangkad, napakabait, at mayaman. Matalino pa." (I can only say one thing about Vincent. He is a very kind person. The woman who will marry him is very lucky: handsome, tall, kind, rich, and smart.)
