Early life

Phylbert Angelli Ranollo Fagestrom, born on October 17, 1987, in Rizal, is the daughter of Philip Fagestrom and Mary Anne Ranollo. Alonzo's father is British. Her parents are separated, and she has a younger brother on her maternal side. Completing her elementary education in 2001 at the Jose Abad Santos Memorial School in Quezon City, she attended The Fisher Valley College in Taguig, Ususan Elementary School in Ususan and Colegio de Santa Ana in Taguig.

Career

In June 2008, Alonzo released her debut album The Real Me under Star Records. It was also in mid-2008 when it was announced that she would play the leading character Betty Pengson in the TV sitcom Yo Soy Betty La Fea, which originated from Colombia. The Philippines' version was entitled I Love Betty La Fea. The show premiered in September 2008 at the primetime slot; it ran for eight consecutive months.

In December 2011, Alonzo renewed her contract with ABS-CBN. She was set to do two movies under Star Cinema and a reunion drama, The Mistress, with her on-screen partner, John Lloyd Cruz. Alonzo starred in the 2014 international hit TV drama Sana Bukas pa ang Kahapon (Tomorrow Belongs To Me), opposite Paulo Avelino and Albert Martinez.

In 2019, Alonzo appeared in the horror film Eerie and the dramatic film Unbreakable. She also started pursuing writing for film in 2019 by enrolling in the writing workshop of Philippine screenwriter, journalist, novelist, and playwright Ricky Lee. This year, she was also included in the list of Variety.com and the International Film Festival & Awards Macao as among Asia's biggest stars poised for international stardom.

On July 1, 2021, GMA News announced that she transferred to GMA Network as she signed with exclusive contract after almost 19 years under ABS-CBN.

Personal life

In 2022, Alonzo invested more than €500,000 (about ₱30 million) in an apartment in Madrid, Spain. As a result, she was given permanent resident privileges in the country, which extends to her mother. Alonzo, however, clarified that she does not plan to obtain Spanish citizenship.
