Jake Vargas' arm bears Bea Binene’s name

Jake Vargas shows Yahoo Philippines the tattoo on his right arm indicating Bea Binene's name.

Bea Binene is now part of boyfriend Jake Vargas's body. The young actor proved how deep his love is for Bea by having her name permanently tattooed on his lower arm.

“Pinagawa ko ito last March,” he said in an interview on the Yahoo Bus which visited the GMA 7’s noontime show “Sunday All Stars” last Sunday, June 22.

The only other person whose name is tattoed on Jake’s body (his back) is his late mother,  so this show’s just how special Bea is to the young actor.

Gesture of love

Bea knew all about Jake’s plans for the tattoo.  But she couldn’t help but gasp  when she saw how prominent the size of her name is.

“Nalakihan siya, pero na-appreciate naman nya,” Jake reveals.

Bea nods and adds, “At pula pa (referring to the color of the tattoo)!”

But the singer-actress will not copy her boyfriend’s  gesture of love because of her mom, who frowns on having her daughter tattoed.

That’s just fine with Jake, who gets along well with Carina, Bea’s mom.

For the young couple Jake Vargas and Bea Binene, they appreciate the little things that they do for each other. Lagi naman kaming happy, Bea says. We make time for each other. Lagi kaming lumalabas. Mababaw ako. Every little thing counts, she adds.

Problem with pride

The  relationship, also known as JhaBea, Yahoo Celebrity 2014 Celebrity Couple of the Year nominee, is so strong, Jake believes nothing can destroy it.

“Hindi ko na nafor-foresee na magbebrak apart kami. Alam naman naming matibay kami.  May respeto at trust kami sa isa’t isa. Hindi  lang maiiwasan na mag negative na lumalabas.”

Of course, Jake and Bea argue with each other like normal couples do, especially when pride rears its ugly head.

“Problema sa ‘min, pareho kaming ma pride. Minsan, hindi namin alam kung sino ang  mas bababa sa min,”  Bea admits.
