Bela Padilla voiced out her intention to focus more on her acting career taking her dream of becoming a beauty queen to a halt.

The 20-year-old Kapuso actress expressed her plans last year of joining Miss World Philippines 2012 but being cast in GMA-7’s primetime series “Legacy” made her re-think 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 the Kapuso teleserye in the coming days. She has no other projects on GMA-7 as of the moment.
